What are your thoughts on Pelleve for cellulite on the front of my thighs??? Will it work?? Thanks!!

Question

Will Pelleve tighten the skin above my knees and the whole inner and front of thighs?? I have terrible cellulite there but if I lift the akin up a fraction it goes away!!! Help!? Any other thoughts instead? I'm 36 and 5'9" and 137 pounds.

Hello, Pelleve is designed for the face, but Pellefirm is designed for cellulite.  It is the same technology but a different hand piece delivers the energy.  It is designed to provide a noticeable but non-permanent improvement in the appearance.

Pellefirm is designed for skin tightening in the body while Pelleve is just for the face and neck.Pellefirm will tighten your thigh skin after 6 treatments, but it will not address cellulite.  Cellulite is caused by deeper strands of connective tissue dimpling the fat compartments under the skin.  No great permanent treatments are available for cellulite, just temporary improvement with modalities such as endermology and body wraps and lymphatic massage.
