Is CelluTite a Safe and Long-term Procedure for Cellulite?

Tags: long-term, safety
I'm considering CelluTite for the cellulite on my upper legs and buttocks. Has anyone heard about the effectiveness of this deep RFAL procedure? Is it safe? Are the results expected to be relatively long term? Is the company "Invasix" (the device manufacturer) generally reputable? I know their products are approved in Canada but still undergoing trials in the US, but I haven't heard anything about anyone's experience with them. Thanks very much.

Cellulite and treatment
Subcision, fat injections, Endermologie, Velashape, Mesotherapy (controversial), Smartlipo, conventional liposuction, Thermage are all procedures that have been tried for cellulite. I am convinced that many of these work to reduce the appearance of cellulite during the treatment but do not provide a long term result. One year followup studies need to be done to see if new devices provide long term results.

No happy treatment for cellulite
Please look on the satisfaction surveys at RS regarding cellulite. You will find it is not worth the money in most patients opinions regardless of the treatment, company, and how much they promise you.

Cellu-tite is a poorly known entity
In my experience, Cellu-tite is a poorly known entity. As such it is always more risky to use products and procedures that are not widely used in the medical community.
