The 10 Best Anti-Cellulite Treatments and Products

Cellulite is a widespread problem. It’s hard to nail down an exact rate of occurrence since few people go to the doctor about it. But most experts estimate that anywhere between 80 and 98% of women have it.

Cellulite can appear regardless of your body type or weight. Healthy diet and exercise do seem to lessen the effects. But they don’t seem to be a deciding factor.

Cellulite occurs when deep layers of fat push against your connective tissue. When it bulges through, it causes the lumpy appearance.

Strengthening the tissue and controlling weight can help. But being thin and fit won’t always save you from cellulite.

Then what’s the best way to get rid of it? Let’s look at ten of the best anti-cellulite methods out there. One method may work better for you than another, so don’t get discouraged. You may need to try a few.

1. Cellulaze

Let’s start with a very effective FDA-approved method. Cellulaze doesn’t often wipe out cellulite completely. But it can reduce the appearance of it by quite a bit.

This method involves inserting a small laser into the skin. The heat from the laser melts the fat and softens up the connective tissue.

This method is only practical if you have time and money to burn. Plan to end up spending more than $5,000. How much time it takes depends on the severity of your cellulite.

2. Zwave

Zwave is another FDA-approved clinical procedure. The method uses radial shockwaves to break apart the lumpy tissue.

It’s also a very effective procedure. But you may need around ten sessions to see results.

At $300-$450 a pop this procedure is cheaper than Cellulaze, but not by much. You have to factor in maintenance procedures later as well.

3. Vanquish

Vanquish uses radiofrequency energy to destroy fat cells. It works by applying heat, but not so much that the procedure is painful.

If you want to be technical about it, Vanquish is a fat-removal technique. But its anti-cellulite applications are impressive.

The price is also impressive, and not in a good way. Plan to pay $500-$800 per session.

4. Project E Beauty Professional Machine

If you want to use a machine, without the hefty price tag, this home machine may work for you. It some cases, it seems to work even better than some clinical treatments. The downside, of course, is that you’re not under a doctor’s supervision.

It’s still pricey – expect to shell out about $1,500. But it’s a lot less pricey than the professional options.

5. Exercise Programs

What if you don’t have tons of money to drop on one of these fancy anti-cellulite options? Don’t worry, there are plenty of other options out there for getting rid of cellulite.

If you want to put in the effort, you can try an exercise program that targets cellulite. Exercise isn’t the only contributing factor to cellulite. But movements designed to target and strengthen your muscle fibers appear to help.

You might try a program like Cellulite Gone. The program claims that it works if you do the exercises right 3-4 times a week. It doesn’t require a diet, although healthy eating will help.

6. Cellinea Pills

Is exercise not your thing either? If you can remember to take a pill, then Cellinea pills may be a good option for you.

Cellinea is clinically tested, so you don’t have to worry that you’re buying the infamous snake oil. According to their tests, 97% of women see a marked improvement in about 3 weeks.

This supplement is full of the nutrients necessary to help your skin from the inside out. It will hydrate and improve your skin’s elasticity and blood flow.

It will also jumpstart your metabolism. All this helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite and keep it away.

7. Bum Bum Cream

Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum (boom boom) Cream comes from Brazil. You know what else Brazil is famous for? That’s right, Brazilian bikinis. To sport a Brazilian bikini you’re going to want to get rid of that cellulite.

This cream is chock full of ingredients that have a positive effect on your skin. Because of this, it’s far more than a simple anti-cellulite cream.

It helps hydrate, elasticize, and moisturize your skin. That makes it healthier and more supple, delaying the natural effects of aging.

Some people don’t like the smell, but that’s the only negative thing about it. Don’t worry – if you fall into that category there are plenty of other cellulite creams to check out.

8. Anti-Cellulite Suction Cups

A great inexpensive method is to massage the area with silicone suction cups. This can be painful so be sure to apply an oil to the skin first.

The cups suck the skin up and break up the cellulite action underneath. It’s an easy method that doesn’t take tons of time and money. But you do need to be consistent about it to see results.

9. Majestic Pure Anti-Cellulite Massage Oil

A great way to improve the results you get with the cups is to pair it with this massage oil. The product claims to reduce cellulite on its own, although it will take a while to see results. Using it with the cups, however, is a match made in heaven.

10. Glo910+ Anti-Cellulite Massager

If you want to get serious about your anti-cellulite massage, try this massager. It comes with four different rollers that perform different functions.

The teeth roller helps to break up fatty deposits. Then the flat rollers help improve drainage. You can use the foam roller to relax the muscles and prevent soreness. Top it off with the exfoliating body brush. Voila!
