description Abstract BackgroundCollagenase Clostridium histolyticum ObjectivesThe article provides an overview of cellulite treatment with CCH-aaes, including patient identification and education, treatment planning, CCH-aaes dilution, injection technique, safety, and early experience with mitigation of adverse events, including bruising. MethodsAs part of a continuing medical education (CME; xMedica, Alpharetta, GA) event on developments in cellulite treatment, a panel of experts developed a course and roundtable, which included lectures on cellulite physiology, new developments in the field of cellulite treatment, demonstrations of injection technique for CCH-aaes, and a review of considerations for the use of CCH-aaes in real-world clinical practice. ResultsThe practical guidance presented here is based upon real-world experience with CCH-aaes. The discussion includes strategies based on early experience for how to obtain the best results as well as suggestions on how to mitigate bruising. ConclusionsCCH-aaes has been a welcome addition to the armamentarium for the treatment of cellulite. With knowledge of proper patient evaluation and injection technique, thorough patient education, diligent photography, and developing research on bruising mitigation, CCH-aaes shows great promise as an effective and safe modality for the management of cellulite. Level of Evidence: 5
