I recommend using bone broth to consume gelatin, and not a processed variety you might find at the store. In my previous article, “Bone Broth — One of Your Most Healing Diet Staples” is an excellent recipe and list of some of the benefits you’ll likely experience when adding this to your diet.
A regular exercise practice cannot cure cellulite—but in many cases it can help prevent or reduce its appearance. Cellulite occurs when connective fibers underneath the skin become weak or lose their elasticity, but stretching and strengthening those areas (in addition to burning away excess fat overall) can help.
All patients who are interested in cellulite treatment procedures will start the process with an individualized consultation. Here, the patient will have the opportunity to discuss concerns and goals for treatment. The cosmetic surgeon or medical provider can discuss all forms of treatment and determine which type of treatment or combination of treatments is best indicated. For individuals who choose to utilize energy based treatments for body contouring, there is really no down time. The treatments are comfortable and the results continue to improve with time.
Make your skin stronger. Want to do even more to de-lumpify your derriere? Topical treatments that may build collagen in the skin, like Retin-A or creams with retinol or vitamin C, couldn’t hurt and may help, Dr. Sadick says.
Under your skin, there’s a network of connective-tissue strands, called septae, that hold the fat in place. If the septae aren’t strong and tightly woven together (which may be determined by genetics), the fat can bulge out between them, creating ripples on the skin’s surface—a.k.a. cellulite. Women are more likely than men to have cellulite, since they have fewer and less tightly arranged septae. Women also have thinner skin, as well as hormones that can affect the size of fat cells and the strength of the septae. To truly eliminate the problem, says dermatologist Molly Wanner, an instructor at Harvard Medical School, “you would have to get rid of the fat and, essentially, change the interior structure of the skin.”

CATS (Cellulite Analysis Treatment System) has been developed to help the majority of women improve the appearance of their cellulite. Cellulite is the mattress like or orange peel appearance of the skin of many women and some men. It is most common on the back of the thighs and buttocks, but can be present on the front of the thighs, abdomen, and arms. Cellulite has many causes including genetics, hormonal and weight changes. The most important microscopic skin changes resulting in cellulite are an eruption of fat into the lower dermis and contraction of the microscopic pillars that support the fat. Several treatments have good scientific studies supporting their use. The ones included in the CATS system are:
Anti-cellulite treatments are said not to be painful—they purportedly feel like a deep-tissue massage but with more heat. Ideal areas for treatment are the thighs and buttocks. Each machine (depending on what brand your doctor offers) is a bit different and the number of treatments varies. Most people require four to 10 sessions but sometimes more. There is no downtime with these types of treatments.
I was introduced to Cellulite Solutions via a Groupon and purchased a package deal once my three sessions were done. I was not pressured into buying the package, I was already seeing great results and knew more would be needed to get where I wanted to be. I highly recommend Cellulite Solutions!
Similar to the body wraps discussed above, gels and creams affect only the skin of the cellulite-affected area. It is not possible for them to penetrate much below the skin’s layer, so they can’t actually get to where the cellulite resides. They may help improve the skin’s appearance, thus making the dimpled look of the cellulite not appear as noticeable.
A hand-held device called Cellfina was approved in 2015 to make this procedure more precise. It provides vacuum-assisted control of the depth and area treated. About 20 to 30 individual cellulite dimples are treated during an average 1-hour session. Results can last up to 2 years.
