Merz Ulthera Cellfina

Merz Ulthera Cellfina ( 2016 )

As the newest addition to Merz‘s growing aesthetic portfolio, Cellfina™ has quickly established a strong reputation among patients and physicians alike as an effective, minimally-invasive way to treat cellulite with long lasting results,” said Patrick Urban, Vice President and Head of the Ulthera® Business Unit at Merz North America. “As we prepare for the full commercial launch of Cellfina™ in the U.S., we remain committed to partnering with physicians in order to deliver outcome-focused innovation and a better total experience in aesthetics.”

Cellfina™ is the only FDA-cleared minimally invasive procedure clinically proven to improve the appearance of cellulite for results that last at least two years, the longest duration cleared by the FDA. The Cellfina™ System combines highly advanced, proprietary technology with a well-established procedure called subcision, to treat the primary structural cause of cellulite.

In a prospective, multicenter US clinical study, 55 patients underwent a single treatment. The Cellfina™ System improved the appearance of cellulite in 98% of treated patients at two years, according to independent physician evaluators. Importantly, 96% of patients reported satisfaction with their treatment at the two year mark, and noticeable improvement on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) was seen in 100% of treated patients at two years. Most adverse events were treatment site reactions such as bruising, soreness and hemosiderosis, which were usually mild to moderate and short in duration (lasting about 2 weeks). No severe device-related adverse events were reported that required treatment.
