- 30 Jul 2009
I've had mesotherapy, velasmooth and endermology treatments for my cellilute and none of these procedures worked for me.
What is the best remedy to reducing the look of cellulilte on my thighs and buttocks? Why is it so difficult to find a solution to this wide spread problem for many women?
Are there any procedures out there that really work for cellulite?

My rating:
They are horrible. I had velasmooth there and they were trying to reassure me that my condition was changing and I knew it wasn't. I had 21 procedures done but no change in my condition. I went to a private doctor and had 3 sessions of mesotherapy after the third sessions, I couldn't take over a 500 needles in my legs and buttocks. I had also endermology and had 13 sessions but to no avail. So at this point you would think I would give up.
Cellulite is a product of estrogen, and genetics is a big contributing factor. 80% of all women have it. Exercise, diet and massage therapy can help, and certain lasers/radio frequency devices have helped to show improvement.
But there are no guarantees. Any good, ethical provider will explain it all to you without making promises.
When you say estrogen, is it too much or not enough estrogen that contributes to cellulite?
Smoking and excess sun exposure will aggravate cellulite, since those things will cause your skin to be thinner and less elastic. Obesity causes the dimples to look deeper and bigger since it magnifies the size of fat pockets.
As I said before, exercise, diet, and massage therapy can help improve the appearance, as can certain lasers/radio frequency devices.
Good luck!
I don’t smoke, I drink 1 glass of red wine a day, I exercise at least 4x a week, and I drink a lot of water.
My weight is normal but I have cellulite and saggy skin. I’m with you on "the rest is BS"
because I have tried most of it.
I am from Florence, so my base is in tuscany.
I use mesotherapy Dr. Brambilla in Viareggio, Studi Vecchia Viareggio. This is a small clinic but he uses a very effective cocktail.
They also have the cavitational ultrasound machine that works wonders by busting the fat cells.
I am sure you will find good clinics every where.
Good luck.
I'm going to Italy in 3 months.
Could you tell me where in Italy and who you saw?
thanks if you!
I have fought cellulite. 20 years. As a working mum, 8 hours at the office sitting in meetings and two hours commute a day.
I have had an excellent course of mesotherapy in Italy, a strong cocktail of substances there. Results lasted a couple of years. Now there is a machine based on cavitational ultrasound and seems to be fab.
But you are right, if all the money we have spent into cellulite treatments worldwide was pulled together.... We could probably rescue an entire african nation.
However, i suggest that we DEMAND that these beauty centers give guarantee on results or... Refund....
We Should get our money back if dissasified, bet that would get all the ineffectual treatments off the market real fast!
