Laser Lipo Excellent for Saddlebags But Not For Cellulite
Thank you for your important question. Laser Liposuction is very effective for removing Saddlebags-also called Steatopygia.
However Cellulite is a different type of problem and requires release or subcision of fibrous bands under the skin that pull the Cellulite "dimples " downward.
There is a procedure called Cellulaze that has been used specifically for Cellulite.
However I expect you will be happy with the Laser lipo treatment of the "saddle bags"

Cellulaze Best for Cellulite Reduction
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, I would not suggest Smart Lipo for cellulite. Instead, I would suggest Cellulaze to reduce your cellulite. Cellulaze is the only minimally invasive laser procedure designed to attack the structure of cellulite beneath your skin. Cellulaze is backed by many years of clinical research. Studies have shown it increases the thickness of your skin by 25% and the elasticity of your skin by 29%—significant claims that haven't been made by any other...

However, there are simpler laser like devices that can also tighten the skin with cellulite. Also you should note that no treatment of cellulite is permanent. A series of treatments is required and then one should expect to go back to their physician for further treatment approximately once a year.

Opt for VelaSmooth if cellulite is the problem
If cellulite is the problem then you can receive treatment for that condition. The two devices I know that can work are the VelaSmooth and SmoothShapes machines. The former device is a bit more technique sensitive. I completed 6 month follow up studies after 8 treatments for both devices. The results looked good. If you are looking for more of a contour change, then the invasive technologies would be the preferred pathway. Someday soon, there maybe non-invasive methods to reduce contour...
