What gets rid of cellulite?

A combination of exercise, diet and treatments can reduce the appearance of cellulite. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved several treatments for cellulite, including Cellfina®, Cellulaze® and Qwo®. These can improve the appearance of dimples on your skin.

Cosmetic surgeons also use a variety of treatments to reduce the appearance of cellulite temporarily. These treatments include:

  • Deep massaging to puff up the skin.
  • Acoustic wave therapy to break up cellulite with sound waves.
  • Laser treatment to help thicken the skin.
  • Liposuction to remove fat. However, it’s deep fat, not necessarily cellulite.
  • Mesotherapy, in which a needle injects drugs into the cellulite.
  • Subcision, in which a needle inserted under the skin breaks up tough bands causing cellulite.
  • Creams and lotions containing caffeine or 0.3% retinol.
  • Spa treatments, which can temporarily make cellulite less noticeable.
  • Vacuum-assisted precise tissue release to cut tissue and fill out dimpled skin.
  • Radiofrequency, ultrasound, infrared light or radial pulses to heat skin.
