Cellulite is a multifactorial condition[8] that is unresponsive to a wide array of treatments. However, there are currently many possible treatment of cellulite as skin care and non-invasive therapy (mainly radio frequency with deep penetration on the skin).[9]
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and tissues beneath the skin. Unlike impetigo, which is a very superficial skin infection, cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that also involves the skin’s deeper layers: the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

Endermologie is a spa treatment where you receive deep massage while your skin is lifted with a vacuum-like tool. You’ll need several sessions to see results, which may last up to 12 months. Some bruising may occur.
Two more effective strategies I recommend are weight training and isometric training – such as Barre, BarreAmped and Pilates. BarreAmped is an effective workout based on Pilates, dance, yoga and deep stretching. Together, these are helpful for lowering your weight, improving cellulite and toning the body. And here’s another perk: These come without the possible risks and only short-term benefits of liposuction.
A skin doc is a good place to start, and many dermatologists do perform treatments in their clinics. But cellulite is not a medical condition, says Ein-Dor, and a medical professional is not required to treat it. “I am not a doctor, but because I focus only on cellulite, I can provide many more options in my center than most doctors can provide in their offices,” she says. Medi-spas can also perform treatments such as Endermologie and non-invasive laser procedures—but Ein-Dor cautions that you make sure your technician is licensed and has received proper training on whatever device you choose. (If you want a surgical procedure like Cellulaze, however, you’ll need to see a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.)

Cellfina is the only minimally invasive treatment cleared by the FDA that’s been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite for up to 2 years. The treatment session, which typically lasts only about 45 minutes, begins with the application of a topical cream to numb the targeted area. The Cellfina procedure uses a tiny microblade to release the fibrous connective bands that thread through fatty tissue and pull down on the skin, creating the dimpled look known as cellulite. Because Cellfina actually cuts these bands, the results last longer than other cellulite treatments.
Because cellulite is simply fat, many people—experts included—have claimed that the only way to lose cellulite is to lose body fat. But the most current thinking on cellulite goes a layer deeper, to the muscle that ultimately gives fat its shape. “As women age, they lose muscle,” says Wayne L. Westcott, PhD, Prevention advisor and fitness research director at Quincy College. “As that muscle layer becomes thinner, weaker, and less firm, that overlying fat layer now doesn’t have a stable base. The fat crinkles and wrinkles and goes in any direction because there’s not a solid, smooth foundation underneath it.”

Hormonal changes, specifically a decline in estrogen levels, may contribute to changes in circulation and a reduction in the production of collagen.1,2 A combination of fat cells becoming larger or increasing in number, a thinner collagen layer and change in blood supply may lead to cellulite.
This is a minor surgical procedure developed to reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles by breaking fibrotic strands.38 It was approved in 2015 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treatment of cellulite with results lasting up to two years.39
The medical term for cellulite is gynoid lipodystrophy.3 The visible changes resulting in cellulite occur when there is a change in fat distribution or metabolism resulting in a change in structure of fat cells and connective tissue.4
This minimally invasive procedure can improve your cellulite. Results have been shown to last for at least 2 years. The doctor marks the area, injects a numbing solution, and then inserts a tiny blade to cut the connective tissue that holds your fat onto those dimples.

“I was skeptical and had no expectations that anything would make a difference — and then I met Marie. I saw an immediate difference with VelaShape treatments, and maintenance with Endermologie has kept up the results. I also had significant inch loss and dropped a full pants size. I could not ask for more!”
That’s why it hasn’t been your fault – today is YOUR day… your day to retake control by taking responsibility: Try My Cellulite Solution for 60 full days, on me… and see the results you desire, or you pay nothing!

Endermologie is a suction massage technique developed in France. This type of electrically powered device has two rollers components. Users often wear nylon stockings to decrease the amount of friction while the skin is draw into the machine (with a low-pressure vacuum) and kneaded by the two revolving rollers. Treatments range from 10 to 45 minutes of rolling the skin of the hips, thighs, legs, buttocks and stomach. Claims are that endermologie improves fat tissue architecture, lymphatic drainage and capillary circulation. Research on the mechanobiology (the science that integrates mechanics, molecular biology and genetics) of the skin shows that deep mechanical massage will induce changes in the dermis connective tissue (Silver, Siperko, and Seehra, 2003). However, in review of the published research on endermologie, which is minimal, this device does not show meaningful efficacy in the treatment of cellulite (Avram, 2004; Vliet, 2005).
