Today, it is estimated that over 90 of women are fighting with cellulite. These bulgy, dimpled marks can appear on your stomach, rear-end and in some cases, even your arms. Contrary to what you may have heard, cellulite is not a weight related issue. Even the skinniest person in the world can have cellulite. Cellulite forms when body fat is deposited deep into the skin. Luckily, there are several treatments to help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Cellulaze is the first FDA approved treatment for cellulite. With this treatment, a small laser tube will be placed under your skin. Once the laser heats up, it begins to melt away the fat that leads to the appearance of cellulite. While this treatment can greatly diminish the treatment of cellulite, it may not work for everybody. Those with larger pockets of cellulite may wish to consider other options.
The latest cellulite treatment to hit the market is Zwave. With Zwave, high energy shockwaves are applied to the affected area. This treatment works best for those that have mild to moderate cellulite. In the beginning, three treatments a week may be needed. On average, most patients receive treatment for ten weeks. Depending on the size of the area to be treated, the procedure can run anywhere from $300-$450 per session.
If you are looking for a noninvasive treatment, consider one of the many cellulite creams that are on the market. These creams use caffeine as their main ingredient. Caffeine helps to dehydrate fat cells thus shrinking them.
However, it is important to remember that these crèmes will need to be used on a daily basis. These crèmes need to be applied with an aggressive massage to reach the target area. Remember, once the treatment is halted, the cellulite will come back with a vengeance.
