Every day we get people call my office inquiring about how to get rid of cellulite. SpaWeek.com has recently posted an article detailing some of my thoughts on cellulite treatments such as topical creams, pills, and laser treatments. You can find it here.
Bottom line: Cellulite affects over 90% of women, both younger and older, thinner and heavier. There is no permanent cure for cellulite (no, liposuction can only make it worse), although there are some treatments that can temporarily improve it. In my office we offer Dermosonic, an FDA approved treatment that combines external ultrasound with a deep tissue massage. It's a relaxing treatment that seems to work well to smooth out cellulite... for a while.

Thanks for reading.

I wish that your blog were set up differently so that one could contribute interesting questions or information rather than having to respond to a particular item. This link is about corrective surgery for professional fighters.
