<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I arrive at the clinic to be greeted by an anaesthetist and told Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi will be performing Cellulaze under intravenous sedation rather than local anaesthetic. (This possibility was mentioned on my pre-op advice sheet but I wasn\u2019t expecting it. I still want to go ahead \u2013 that\u2019s how much I hate my cellulite). I\u2019m injected in the wrist and remember nothing else. When I awake from Planet Cuckoo I\u2019m trussed u in tight, long, unattractive compression shorts. A nurse orders me to wear them night and day for 10 days, removing only for toilet trips and showering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s zero chance of going back to work afterwards. The procedure takes 90 minutes, and by the time I\u2019ve totted up waiting and recovery time. Cue a cringe-making call to my boyfriend (so much for keeping my embarrassing treatment a secret from him).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first night is uncomfortable, fluid leakage from the wounds and what feels like beaten-up legs. Come morning, I\u2019m desperate to glimpse my lasered thighs. Easier said than done. A strop-inducing 15 minutes later and I\u2019m finally out of the bondage shorts and checking out the effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The verdict\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A job well done: the incisions are neat and legs are far smoother. \u2018Your bum looks more rounded, in a good way.\u2019 Says the boyfriend. Ah, romantic. Alas, the smoothness of my thighs make my bottom look more dimpled in comparison. Cellulaze can only treat thighs and the crease of the bum, not the fleshy part above. So Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi prescribes a course of Velashape: a machine that combines radio frequency, vacuum and massage to smooth cellulite. Cellulaze has left my skin feeling very sensitive, and it feels like a boxer pummelling me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Four months later\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My cellulite has significantly improved, and Velashape has smoothed my bum. I won\u2019t pretend my dimples have gone completely but I\u2019m more confident about wearing a bikini. For Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi himself, there\u2019s no doubt of his success. As he takes my \u2018after\u2019 photos, he declares my cellulite has improved \u2018by 60-70%\u2019 transporting my thighs into the heady realms of grade one orange peel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cellulaze :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi says:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo achieve the best result from Cellulaze you need to apply adequate laser heat energy to stimulate collagen. This can become extremely painful under local anaesthetic. Pain increases blood pressure and bruising post-treatment. Therefore sedation is safer and more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi said: Some celebrities don’t wary about their cellulite appearance, as like the Nation sweet heart \u201cCheryl Cole couldn’t care less that she has a few lumps and bumps on her famous legs. In fact, she’s proud to be a realistic role model to young girls. ‘I don’t care if there’s a picture of me with cellulite,’ she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"cellulite](\"https:\/\/www.lmaclinic.com\/lma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cellulaze_Cellulite10.jpg\")
