Laser/light therapy can be used to reduce the appearance of cellulite temporarily. These treatments combine low-level lasers or light-therapy devices with suction, manipulation, and massage. Laser therapy and/or light therapy require multiple treatments to achieve noticeable results and regular treatments to maintain these results. SmoothShapes with Photomology, VelaSmooth, and TriActive have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat cellulite.
SmartLipo uses a special laser which is inserted under the skin through a small incision. The area treated is first anesthetized using a special technique of local anesthesia called tumescent anesthesia (click here to learn more about tumescent anesthesia). The laser is then inserted just underneath the skin. When fired, the laser heats the skin and causes skin tightening and smoothing. The laser can also disrupt and destroy the fat cells that have erupted through the skin (see: Why do I have cellulite? above) helping reduce the cellulite. Finally, the laser can also be used to disrupt the contracted pillars (see: Why do I have cellulite? above) and release the dimples. Using SmartLipo can result in improvement in some of the toughest cellulite cases.
Conditions or diseases that reduce the circulation of blood in the veins or that reduce circulation of the lymphatic fluid (such as venous insufficiency, obesity, pregnancy, or surgeries) also increase the risk of developing cellulitis.

One study by researchers at the South Shore YMCA in Quincy, Massachusetts, found that adults who did three 30-minute aerobic workouts each week for eight weeks lost four pounds, but gained no muscle—and only slightly improved body composition. When they paired 15 minutes of aerobic activity with 15 minutes of strength training three times a week, however, they lost 10 pounds of fat, added two pounds of muscle, and saw a greater overall improvement in body composition. In other words, they looked better and lost some of the wiggle!

Hello Melissa,your are doing such a good job and your are very inspiring.After my first pregnancy I got rid of cellulite with Montignac diet( mostly meat-grilled or boiled- with vegs, no fruits, no flours, no grains, no sugar etc).I remember taking some fish oil supplements.But the best supplement I used was working out, with body wraps, with a burning cellulite(similar to Guam but less expensive) cream on my skin.After that, my pants were soaking wet, the water was flowing down to the floor. We have here sauna suits, plastic pants that you can easily wear under the regular pants.
By boosting intakes of certain nutrients through a combination of food and supplements, it’s possible to repair, rehydrate and revitalise the cells and connective tissue, which in turn, forces the fat cells back to where they belong, so they can’t be seen. This is achieved by following the accompanying eight-week plan that focuses on changing your diet and taking supplements to strengthen and protect your skin from the inside, and exfoliating and moisturising to protect and strengthen skin from the outside.
