I've had 18 out of 24 endermologie treatments with unsatisfactory results. What is the best treatment for deep embedded cellulite? My shape contoured beautifully after 8 sessions-but the cellulite hasn't changed! I'm 58, gorgeous, work out regularly. Drink 8-10 oz/H20/day. Eat right. What gives? Endermoligie worked great 10 yrs. ago on grooves created by earlier lipo. Why not now? What about Accent XL? Best, Houston Girl Thanks.

New FDA approved treatment for cellulite - Cellulaze

Cellulaze utilizes a 1440 nm wavelength laser to accomplish 3 things: 1) melt away fat bulging out 2) break up fibrous septae (attachments) that create the indentations and 3) help thicken the dermis (skin) to prevent future recurrence. The procedure can take between 60-90 minutes and can be completed under local or just IV sedation (depending on the length of your procedure and number of areas being treated).

Best options for cellulite: custommized approach to specific needs

Smartlipo can improve cellulite

Frustrations of Cellulite...you are not alone!!!!!!

Cellulite!!!! It is a problem for a lot of ladies...unfortunately. Sounds like you have had a nice improvement with Endermologie 10 years ago but as time goes on and the tissue ages the treatments wont help you as much. I agree with the previous surgeon that fat injections and small excisions would be helpful. I would probably stick to the fat injections, try to maintain your weight. If you need to lose weight do so as this may help the cellulite look better.&nbs more

Stubborn cellulite

Velashape may be more effective than Endermologie. If you still don't have enough improvement after a series of Velashape treatments, you might consider a test area of subcision and fat injections. If this area improves and stays cosmetically acceptable for more than a year, you might have more treatments. The latter can cause scarring so proceed cautiously.
