Cellulite Treatment Before and After

I'm looking at the various before and after photos for cellulite treatment, and some of them look the same to me. What should I be looking for realistically in photos of patients after cellulite treatment?

Effective Cellulite Treatments and Other Myths

I agree with Dr. Rand. The treatment of cellulite has been VERY disappointing for ethical Plastic surgeons and Dermatologists (the others market and sell everything and anything despite results), because most "treatments" are rather ineffective - despite their costs. Many appear to work, at least temporarily, by causing swelling in the tissues which mask the appearance of the dimples but as soon as the swelling goes away so do the "results".

Cellulite Treatment Before and After

Thank you for your question. There are many cellulite treatments currently available, but the one I use in my practice and would suggest is Cellulaze.

Cellulite treatments

Probably the most effective treatment, and it is only mild at best, is the use of Endermologie. Other technologies exist with varying claims of success but in many instances achieveing a response rate of 20% is typically the best that can be achieved with any modality
