Be realistic about cellulite treatment
The best single way to reduce cellulite is to lose weight through a great diet and regular exercise. Everything else we provide as doctors is second best to this solution. True cellulite is caused by irregularities in the very superficial fat of the skin. Unfortunately, that is very close to where the blood supply of the skin is, in the subdermal plexus.
Treatments such as superficial liposuction, lasers all risk severe irregularities, discoloration, burning or even perforation of the...

Is there an effective cellulite treatment? Yes, now there's Cellulaze.
Diet and exercise help to reduce the appearance of cellulite but for most women it doesn't eliminate it.

No Cellulite Treatment is perfect, but Endermologie is the Gold Standard.

Endermologie for cellulite
The best choice is time honored, Endermologie. Nothing is permanent but this therapy has been around longest and has consistently given excellent results. It is not painful and very reasonably priced.
