Cellulite affects majority of the women in the western world. While it has been authenticated to be completely unrelated to obesity, the under related cause of cellulite is due to the convergence of fat under the skin giving it dimpled appearance. The quest to find the solution for cellulite is ongoing and has resulted in a multitude of products and services promising to do away with cellulite.

Exercise and Low Fat Diet

This is possibly the easiest and cheapest solution for reducing the appearance of cellulite. By reducing the amount of fat you eat and increasing physical activity, the appearance of cellulite will be lessened even though it will not entirely fade away. The disadvantage of this technique is that it does not always work, especially for exceptionally busy people or those who are not able to keep themselves on a low fat diet.

Laser Treatment

It is one of the most well known alternatives for cellulite treatment, for those who can afford it. The laser burns the fat deposits so that the lipid molecules dissolve and fade away over time. This course of treatment is tremendously expensive because you will have to come in for a number of sessions before seeing the desired results. The advantage is that the method is relatively safe as there is no cutting involved. Secondly, no recovery time is involved with the method.

There are beauty clinics and cosmetic surgery centres throughout all major cities in the world where specialized staff trained in the use of laser can discuss specific cases of cellulite and propose a treatment option. Effective solution requires an intensive course of treatments over 6 months or longer and followed up by less-frequent sessions for maintenance of cellulite free skin.

Topical Cellulite Solutions

The usage of anti-cellulite creams and other topical solutions is probably the best alternative for those who cannot afford laser treatments. The cream is absorbed by the skin pores and acts upon the layers of fat deposits, breaking them down so that they are less visible.

This cellulite treatment technique is non-invasive and relatively comfortable as it can be applied right within the comfort of one’s own home. In addition to this, it is a lot cheaper than the laser treatment.

While choosing the best suitable treatment, it is highly recommended to seek referrals on the products and services, length of treatment, cost and expected time to get results along with the long term success rate for such treatments.
