Dr. Gregory A. Buford answers: How can I get rid of cellulite?

What are my options for permanently getting rid of cellulite on my arms and thighs?  Already tried cellulite creams and massage...none of which worked. I am willing to do an anti-cellulite medical treatment if its safe and works.

There is no way to actually get rid of cellulite although there are treatments to reduce its appearance. All of the following treatments have been touted for their effectiveness in either decreasing or eliminating cellulite:

  • Thermage
  • Liposuction
  • Endermology
  • Topical creams

Unfortunately, as you may have found, reports tend to be anecdotal and without any hard scientific basis.
