Does Thermage Work for Cellulite?
Does Thermage work for cellulite? I know the older skin tightening Thermage device didn't exactly get rave reviews, so I don't want to get ripped off but I'm thinking about trying Thermage for cellulite. What do you think about it?

Buyer beware!
In my opinion, there is no good treatment for cellulite. Many people speak of Thermage, Titan, or Fraction lasers for the treatment of this condition, but it doesn't appear that they are effective. To date there is no peer reviewed, blinded, controlled (that's the gold standard for research) report in the entire English literature that demonstrates a measurable difference.

Thermage does IMPROVE appearance of cellulite
No treatment today, whether surgical or non-surgical, can claim to get rid of cellulite permanently.

Grade 3 - Protruding lobules of fat visible when standing as well as when lying down.

Cellulite improvement needs multifaceted approach
Cellulite is tough. Combining Thermage (one treatment) with TriActive (multiple treatments) and topical Glytone Body Lift (caffeine containing cleanser with massage applicator) may have the best shot at improvement. Since it is not curable, designing an ongoing maintenance program can be very gratifying.

Cellulite can be treated by thermage
some, not all patients, have reported good reslts with cellulite after treatment by thermage and the new cellulite protocol and equipment. it's not a guarantee but there is enough improvement in some cases to warrant a try. there is no cure for cellulite and the treatment may continue as a maintenance in the years ahead.
