really,
coffee scrub?

there are no magic potions.

There are loads of creams and scrubs promising to magically whisk away cellulite, but all of their effects are superficial and temporary, at best. There are also surgical procedures that may be more successful. But these procedures are invasive and could involve downtime.

TREATMENTS THAT TARGET

fat

(deepest layer of skin)

lifestyle

Often, women believe that if they just got on the clean-eating bandwagon or did another rep of squats, they could get rid of their cellulite. Well, we're here to tell you that diet and exercise won't get rid of your cellulite because, unfortunately, they don't affect the fibrous bands that cause it.

fat freezing

Also known as cryolipolysis, an in-office procedure that uses freezing temperatures to break down fat cells, possibly temporarily improving the appearance of cellulite.

surgery

Fat grafting, or liposuction, involves inserting a narrow tube under the skin through incisions that suction out fat cells below the skin's surface. In some cases, while it reduces fat, it does not affect the fibrous bands and has been known to make cellulite look worse.

TREATMENTS THAT TARGET

surgical subcision
