Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Discusses Cellulaze on The Doctors
CBS The Doctors Features Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Dr. Christine Petti to Discuss Cellulite Reduction
Dr. Christine Petti has announced she will be appearing on the CBS network television show The Doctors to discuss Cellulaze®, an innovative minimally-invasive treatment for cellulite reduction recently approved by the FDA. Having played an integral role in the clinical trials for Cellulaze, Dr. Petti and her center for plastic surgery in Los Angeles recently began offering the procedure as an effective way to reduce the appearance of cellulite and smooth skin.
The Doctors, a CBS network television show offering medical advice to its viewers, will be airing a new episode featuring Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Christine Petti on an advanced procedure targeted to eliminate or reduce the appearance of cellulite. Developed by Cynosure, the treatment is called Cellulaze® and was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a minimally-invasive, laser-assisted therapy for cellulite reduction that increases the elasticity, thickness, and smoothness of skin. Dr. Petti, who served as one of five surgeons in the country involved in the clinical trials of Cellulaze, will be demonstrating how the procedure works and revealing the results of one of her patients who recently underwent treatment.
Cellulaze is performed by inserting a tiny laser fiber beneath the skin in order to heat and disrupt herniated pockets of fat and release fibrous bands that dimple skin. The treatment also assists in the stimulation of collagen to increase the depth and tone of skin for a smoother look. Dr. Petti says the entire procedure takes approximately one to one and a half hours and results should be visible within a few weeks, although full skin tightening and cellulite reduction may continue developing over the following months. She also says added benefits of the Cellulaze therapy are the quick recovery and minimal bruising that occur after treatment. “Cellulaze is an effective and one-of-a-kind answer to a woman’s battle against cellulite. As the old adage goes, men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Women are anatomically different: the architecture of the skin, fat and fibrous bands are different in women. Cellulaze is the only treatment that targets this special anatomy so the anatomy of cellulite can be changed, therefore creating a smoother skin surface.”
After having had the opportunity to observe the benefits of the unique cellulite treatment in Los Angeles for some time, Dr. Petti says she is confident in the results and hopes to share her findings with viewers of the CBS show. She adds that she is excited about the chance to introduce more patients to the effective procedure and help patients achieve a confident, healthy body. “’The Doctors’ TV program is the perfect health education platform for me to provide women with a veritable source of information on a dreadful and depressing problem-cellulite-that plagues women of all ages, body and skin types. ‘The Doctors’ is always at the forefront of credible health-related information, and it is a privilege for me to have this forum to relay vital information to women about this revolutionary Cellulaze treatment for cellulite.”

Smartlipo Patient Testimonial
Dr. Petti is very warm and personable. She can relate to the patient on a personal level since she’s been there and can understand what we are going through. I am only two weeks post surgery and I can already tell a difference. I can’t wait for the final results to show through. Dr. Petti and the office staff were lovely and very understanding and supportive. It was a good experience.

Breast Augmentation Revision Patient Testimonial
I am so happy with the results of my breast augmentation revision. I can’t tell you the depth of my regret that I didn’t find Dr. Petti for my initial surgery!
Dr. Petti was the only doctor with whom I consulted who spent a lot of time looking at my breasts and she seemed determined to see what had happened to me and what she could do to help.
Everyone in her office was attentive and comforting to me and I knew that each one of them cared about the outcome of my surgery. The whole experience was much more personal than a hospital setting; I was relaxed, felt taken care of, it was almost pleasant. I loved Anita and Sharon….Loved the “no pain” IV from Dr. Moorman!
Thank you,
V.L. – Los Angeles Breast Augmentation Revision Patient

New FDA-Approved Treatment for Cellulite Now Available at Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Practice
Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Practice Offering Recently FDA-Approved Cellulite Treatment
Following recent approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Christine Petti has announced she will be offering Cellulaze, an innovative minimally-invasive anti-cellulite procedure, to patients at her practice looking to diminish fat pockets and increase elasticity of skin. As one of five surgeons in the U.S. who conducted the clinical trial for Cellulaze, Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Petti says she is excited about its release and hope patients will take advantage of its proven effectiveness in toning and body contouring in Los Angeles.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved the latest laser treatment device Cellulaze as the first minimally invasive solution for treating the physiological structure of cellulite in women. Developed by Cynosure, Inc., Cellulaze utilizes laser fiber and heating technology to reduce cellulite, or fat deposits beneath the surface of skin around the hips, thighs, and buttocks. Christine Petti, MD, one of five clinical trial participants in the United States involved in the testing of Cellulaze, has now unveiled the product at her practice for plastic surgery in Los Angeles and says she is excited about the proven results in body sculpting and skin tightening for her patients. As part of the research phase and FDA approval of the device, Dr. Petti says she has seen dramatic improvements in cellulite reduction with Cellulaze.
Targeting herniated pockets of fat beneath the skin, the Cellulaze procedure requires one treatment and results are typically visible within a few weeks, although the most significant results may continue to develop over a few months following the procedure. Dr. Petti says the procedure is performed by inserting a tiny laser fiber under the skin to heat and disrupt the fat, release fibrous bands that dimple skin, and stimulate collagen production. While non-surgical procedures cannot substitute for the results possible with a surgical procedure such as tummy tuck in Los Angeles, she says Cellulaze offers patients a minimally-invasive treatment for cellulite with little to no downtime and effective results.
Dr. Petti says she hopes the new procedure will provide patients at her practice yet another alternative for sculpting their figure and improving self confidence. She adds that as patients consider the number of cosmetic options available for enhancing their appearance, she urges them to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon before undergoing any aesthetic procedure such as Cellulaze in Los Angeles.
