Does Needle-electrolipolysis Work for Cellulite?

Tags: needle, results
I dont have a weight problem,just a little bit of cellulite i want to permanently get rid of. I had 3 sessions and havent seen major results, I talked to a plastic surgeon and he doesnt believe the fat in the fat cells actually gets desolved (triglycerides to fatty acid) and passes through the fat cell membrane. Who to believe? Has anyone done it? are there results?are they permanent?and do we actually get rid of fat? or do we reuse it?

Does Needle-electrolipolysis Work for Cellulite?
I would say that up to now there has been no real good treatment for cellulite. All treatments typically required multiple sessions and results did not last.
The FDA just approved the Cellulaze laser a few weeks ago. This is the first treatment that has shown lasting results. Typically one treatment has shown to improve cellulite for up to a year or more.

Few effective options for treatment of cellulite
Rather than comment specifically on the treatment you are receiving, I would say that there are very few treatments that have any scientific effidence that they work for cellulite, and those that do only work in some people, and usually for temporary effect. If there was one treatment that was truly effective in a high percentage of women, it wouldn't be a secret and you wouldn't have to ask around to see if it works.
