What's the Best Option for Stubborn Cellulite Other Than Endermologie?

I've had 18 out of 24 endermologie treatments with unsatisfactory results. What is the best treatment for deep embedded cellulite? My shape contoured beautifully after 8 sessions-but the cellulite hasn't changed! I'm 58, gorgeous, work out regularly. Drink 8-10 oz/H20/day. Eat right. What gives? Endermoligie worked great 10 yrs. ago on grooves created by earlier lipo. Why not now? What about Accent XL? Best, Houston Girl Thanks.

A: Smartlipo can improve cellulite

Smartlipo can improve cellulite. So can fractional laser resurfacing. These two treatments have the possibility of permanent improvement although weight change and aging can affect the results.

Could Cryolipolysis Be an Effective Treatment for Cellulite?

Since cellulite seems to be subcutaneous fat pressing against the connective tissues of the body then wouldn't a treatmeat that causes apoptosis of adipocyte be an effective treatment in eliminating the apperence of cellulite?

A: Cryolipolysis is not known to be effective for cellulite

Cryolipolysis is not known to be effective for cellulite. Cellulite is due to vertical bands that extend from muscle fascia to skin and therefore laser surgery with laser lipolysis adn fractional laser resurfacing have shown the most consistent improvement.
