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.

These are nutrients that may be obtained from food or from intake of dietary supplements. They are the foundation for The Cellulite Solution program. Each one contributes to healthy cells and healthy connective tissue (collagen & elastin) which when they are strong and healthy, the skin is firmer and more hydrated. Glucosamine is an amino acid that is the building block for collagen and elastin. Take 1200mg of either Glucosamine Sulfate or Glucosamine Hydrochloride every day... more

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.

No great answer for cellulite

There are a lot of expensive treatments for cellulite - none with lasting results and most that are a complete waste of money. Beware of the marketing. Cellulite is a common term referring to skin surface irregularities and dimpling of skin, predominantly in the thighs and buttocks (think cottage cheese thighs). Causes for the appearance have been blamed on differences in connective tissue structure and on adipose tissue biochemistry. Research has confirmed that women get cellulite... more

Cellulite treatments, but no cure

Unfortunately, a treatment for cellulite remains problematic and there is just no known way to fully eliminate it currently. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding weight fluctuations can help some people improve the appearance of cellulite. In my experience, some things like Slim Lipo may offer a slight improvement, as well.

Improving Cellulite

Hello I have both the VelaSmooth device and the newer SmoothShapes device. Both can improve cellulite. My nurses and I have had better results with the later device. I have two prospective clinical studies which will be published in peer review journals that show good improvement with both devices. The SmoothShapoes device is safer so you have some options.

You can't get rid of cellulite

There are some procedures such as Endodermologie that provide temporary improvement but once they are discontinued the problem usually recovers. Removing the loose skin will flatten areas out. Radio frequency devices will also temporarily help the problem but not completely. Fat re-injections are often inconsistent, and in most cases liposuction may make cellulite worse. Consult with your physician about the pros and cons of any treatment

Nothing great for cellulite

Unfortunately, there is nothing great out there to treat cellulite. All the lasers that purport efficacy are not impressive to me and do not warrant the cost.

Every woman knows what cellulite is and they hate it. You see it in the thighs and buttocks and it is very difficult to treat. Ninety-five percent of what you have heard about cellulite treatment is hype and not science. In my opinion, creams, massages and ultrasound don't help. Also, in my opinion, treatments such as lipolysis, mesotherapy, and endermologie don't help. There are two procedures that do help: One is non-invasive, and the other is done together with liposuction. First, the... more

Right now, the best procedure for cellulite treatment is a just-FDA approved laser called the Alma Accent. The FDA study I was involved in, that was published in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery, found that upper thigh skin cellulite can be improved with this new unipolar radiofrequency device, with fewer treatments and longer lasting results as compared to older options. The older options have typically been bipolar radio frequency and low-level laser devices which have been proven to... more

My experience with Thermage, Triactive and Glytone for cellulite.

My experience with cellulite is that it is a pain! Agreed, there is no cure. So how to manage such a vexing problem? It takes dedication. We have found that a single Thermage treatment followed by twice weekly Triactive treatments for one month achieves a good result in most. It is important to have a long term program to maintain and better the improvements. Once monthly Triactives with daily in-shower massage with Glytone Lipolift (it comes with a massager)... more

There are treatments but no cure for cellulite

Unfortunately there is no cure for cellulite but there are some great lasers out there to improve the appearance of cellulite. Currently we have Accent and Smooth Shapes to treat cellulite and we’re seeing great results.

Cure for Cellulite

Hi there- Currently there is not a treatment available to permanently eliminate cellulite. Even though we believe we achieve fabulous results with our Endermologie treatments, monthly maintenance treatments are required to maintain the results. If Endermologie is not the type of massage you have already tried I would recommend trying a series of treatments. Endermologie is a painless, noninvasive mechanical massage that stimulates the reactivation of fat release and production of... more

There are still no permanent cures, unfortunately. Endermologie was the first therapy really proven to work and is now time honored. My office added Endermologie when it first became available in this country and the same Endermologie therapist is still with me. She has incredible experience, having been trained at the beginning and having perfomed so many treatments over all these years. The results she is able to achieve are excellent.
