Very Happy With Results. Experience Counts! - Torrance, CA

I am 51 now, I was 50 when I had it. I think it was a 3? I have to see where the before pics are...not that I want to see those! The funny thing about pictures is lighting has EVERYTHING to do with it. Not just cellulite but wrinkles, sagging skin, etc. So, stay away from store dressing rooms before and after! Life is too short!

Well, some came and went! So be prepared. What I mean by that is the initial swelling makes it look like ALL the dimples are gone. So some people's reviews express disappointment when, after a few months they see some dimples back, even if they are less than they originally had! My bruising wasn't that bad, I did do the arnica and bromelain. I was in good shape (spinning instructor) and ate very well. I continued eating well and was mindful that I wasn't exercising while I was recovering. Dr. Petti also weighs people to be sure the results aren't being impacted by people gaining weight, which I did not. My husband saw the results right away, he is less judgmental! I liked it better when the shading was gone, that took about 4-5 months, but again, that is my skin (olive complexion) not everyone will have that issue.

Aging Maven, like Meg, you gratitude is lovely. I am confident the discoloration will go away. I haven't posted my experience yet but I'm just shy of 3 weeks out. I did go to one of the most experience doctors. I told her what I was reading about the discoloration, it does fade, different speeds for different people. I know you don't want to spend any more but just a thought that would be useful for more than just your legs, Clarisonic, it's great for your face but they have a body brush as well, it may help the numbness/tenderness.

As for the Vela/endermologie/smooth shapes, I am convinced those procedures made my cellulite worse! I would never do either during my healing! Why would I want any pulling, vacuuming, suction?! I would bet the doctors offering it had those machines before they started offering Cellulaze and just want to keep it busy. Gentle lymph drainage massage or the Clarisonic, self massage with Traumeel (arnica) cream but mechanical pulling, no!

I do think there is something to be said for the experience of the doctor, but there is also something to be said for time. I'm only glancing now, I'm doing my best not to compare anything at this point. I told my husband in advance not to let me make any comments about the success for 3 month with final opinion for 6! For my part, I'm eating clean, drinking tons of water and following all instructions.

I bet at the end of the day you will be happy. Since you are exercising more your legs will be gorgeous when the discoloration is gone and that new muscle tone shows up. That, and your great attitude, now THAT is attractive!

Warmest regards

Once again, "bromelain"

Sorry, that was supposed to say "bromelian" auto correct does not like that word!
