Numerous companies claim their product or technique can eliminate those unsightly dimples in the skin called cellulite. But before you purchase anything, consult a cosmetic surgeon or board-certified plastic surgeon to get a professional opinion. Your cellulite treatment doctor will help you figure out what actually works.
How Some Cellulite Treatments Work
Lipodissolve: A series of injections with long needles sent deep into fat layers. The chemicals in the shots work together to dissolve areas of fat. The body rids itself of the dissolved fat naturally.
Mesotherapy: Similar to Lipodissolve, but the needles are shorter and the chemicals are injected into the top layer of skin, where cellulite exists. The chemical combination works to melt the fat cells.
Liposuction: A surgical procedure where your surgeon makes a small incision, then inserts a vacuum-like wand under deep layers of skin and suctions out the fat. This method is not recommended because the top layer of skin, where cellulite exists, is not accessed.
Endermologie: A massage machine is applied to the area where cellulite is visible. The machine has two rollers, and they make a fold in the skin when applied. The fold stretches connective tissues under the skin. The stretching reduces the appearance of cellulite. Treatments take about 30 minutes, and at least a dozen are recommended to achieve results.
Acoustic Wave Therapy: A wand, which resembles a microphone, is placed against your skin. Pressure waves penetrate the skin, correcting connective tissue, stimulating collagen growth and smoothing out the skin. Sessions take about 30 minutes, and at least six are recommended.
Cellulite Creams: Look for ingredients in the creams that have been proven effective against cellulite: caffeine, aloe vera, coenzyme-A, glaucine, vitamin C and vitamin E. Users say they’ve noticed a difference within two weeks of treatment.
