Effective Treatment for Cellulite
Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment for cellulite. Liposuction is the best treatment to date, but the effectiveness is unknown. About half of the patients that have liposuction have improvement in the cellulite and half have no change. Coolsculpting by Zeltiq has not shown any improvement in cellulite to date.

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.

Cellulaze
I would recommend Cellulaze for your cellulite.
Cellulaze is the first FDA approved minimally invasive, one-time treatment for cellulite. It utilizes a 1440 nm side-firing laser fiber optic to treat the three main causes of cellulite: It breaks down the fatty bulges, then cuts the fibrous septae that cause dimpling, then finally stimulates the dermis to shrink and thicken in order to improve the look of you cellulite areas.

Currently, cryolipolysis is only meant for small volumes of fat reduction. Cellulite, as we understand it at this time, is due to a few factors...including collagen fiber laxity, fat cell protrusion, hormones and small blood vessel changes.
The applicators used with coolsculpting are not able to apply around the thigh. So they cannot currently address cellulite on the thighs.
The current technologies used to treat cellulite include Velashape II, Thermage, SmoothShapes, Titan, Accent a

Cellulite, although not proven, may improve in some cases with coolsculpting ( Zeltiq )
As many people with cellulite notice that its appearance worsens with gaining weight, Zeltiq coolsculpting may diminish the fat and cellulite may look less noticable in some but not all patients. Cellulite is more of a process in which the collagen bands hold the skin down in a vertical or diagonal fashion and the fat in between the collagen bundles, pushes the skin up. Coolsculpting would not be a permanent solution.

Coolsculpting by Zeltiq (Cryolipolysis) for Cellulite?
Hi,
Cryolipolysis, or CoolSculpting by Zeltiq, has been proven to be effective at reducing unwanted subcutaneous fat layer bulges unresponsive to diet and exercise (love handles and abdominal pooches) by 20-25% per treatment session. There are current studies being carried out to determine if the treatment is effective for cellulite, but at this point unfortunately we do not have a proven effective treatment for "cottage cheese" thighs.
