If I only had a nickle for every time I was asked the question, “Which cellulite treatments actually work?” I’d be able to afford celebrity style cellulite treatments. Now a days science and technology affords cellulite sufferers new treatment options. Some work while others are just hyped up moisturizing creams or gizmos that do everything but treat cellulite.
Once the smoke all clears the following approaches render not just the most popular cellulite ways to treat cellulite but have been around long enough to demonstrate satisfying results.
Best Cellulite treatment options, approaches, and top picks for 2012:
#1 Cellulite Treatment Diets: A great long term goal should be to reduce your body fat percentage. There is a clear association between excess body fat and cellulite. period. After all cellulite is simply a collection of fat cells and subcutaneous connective tissue under the skin. Reduce your fat and you’ll reduce cellulite’s damaging effect on your skin. Aside from that most dermatologist claim that smoking, unnecessary medications like diuretics, animal fats, fried and processed foods, coffee, alcohol, lack of fiber and water all greatly contribute to cellulite formation.
There are plenty of dieting plans that can reduce your body fat percentage. The main key is to start small and build from there. Start shifting your eating habits in the direction that reduces cellulite and improves your quality of life and self esteem. P.S. a quick and easy cellulite treatment diet that’s worked fast for millions is FattLoss4Idiots.
#2 Cellulite Treatment Exercises: If treatment #1 made you yawn, this one may make you angry. But unfortunately toned skin and muscle will dramatically prevent or reduce cellulite. Why? Because cellulite is simply weak skin and connecting tissue unable to maintain the fat within its compartments. Just imagine fat seeping up through your weakened (subcutaneous) connective tissue and surfacing in the form a pitted orange peel. Yuck! But toned skin and muscle keep escaping fat from seeping through. Exercising and Dieting should be your first line of defense against cellulite.
BTW, there are plenty of ‘cellulite treatment’ exercise plans to read but actually any form of cardio and full body strength training done consistently will work. Getting positive feedback on this report: Cellulite exercise treatment report.
#3. Cellulite Treatment Creams: The first 2 treatments are long term solutions. Cellulite treatment gels, creams, lotions, and other ‘solutions’ are one of if not the #1 get’r done fast methods on the market. Results aren’t instant but faster then diet and exercise. Just not as sustained or dramatic. In and of itself cellulite reduction creams (don’t buy cellulite removal creams as there is no such thing…yet) can visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite ‘dimpling’ on the thighs, hamstrings, stomach, and buttocks with consistent and sustained (more than 6 weeks) use.
Used in conjunction with treatments #1 and #2 and you’ll probably be in one those before and after photos. Please send one to me!
#4. Cellulite Laser Treatment: According to www.Health.com treating cellulite by laser is a quick and painless (actually pleasurable) and even FDA approved cellulite or stretch mark treatment option. It’s also a more effective alternative to cellulite massage treatments. Visible results occur in less than 2 months. Velashape laser is popular for treating celebrity cellulite. Testimonials and user reviews tend to be polar opposites. Patients either love it or hate it.
But it’s certainly a viable alternative to liposuction or other surgical methods. Most of the positive testimonials came from those who went beyond 10 sessions.
In a recent FDA clinical trial a dermatologist recorded visible results in 100% of the trial patients. And more than 75% of them saw a 50% improvement. The big question is, “How much do cellulite laser treatments cost?” Anywhere from $150-$200 for each session. You’ll need a minimum of 8-12 sessions.

#5 Endermologie Massage Treatment: Sounds scary but its a non-invasive approach that utilizes deep massage to progressively and ultimately shrink those fat cells responsible for displaying cellulite. The idea is to increase blood and oxygen flow to the problem areas which encourages cellulite to metabolize.
The good news is endermologie is FDA approved. The process involves a mechanical roller along with a vacuum type device that’s used to simultaneously smooth and suction remove cellulite from the skin. The treatment is painless, time consuming (45 minutes typically) and you will need at least 15 sessions to see satisfying results. Maintenance sessions are of course encouraged. Even though it’s an expensive undertaking results can be expected.
#6 Mesotherapy Treatment: Considered a rather invasive and new approach to cellulite removal. Mesotherapy is popular in Europe but not regulated and unapproved by the FDA. The process involves injecting small amount of cell wall destroying chemicals under the skin to melt away cellulite problem areas. The benefits are numerous in that there’s little effort on your part, no exercise or dieting. The negative is that its not regulated and it’s too soon to say if there are side effects. Cost ranges from $300-$700 per treated area. Results work but are subtle.
