The Real Deal With Cellulite & How To Get Rid Of It - Part 2 - Women Campus

1. Nivea Goodbye Cellulite; $12.  This serum is packed with amino acids that penetrate the skin's surface and repair the proteins that comprise the connective tissue to strengthen the bands and prevent fat from poking through and protruding. "It didn't make my cellulite completely disappear, but it definitely reduced its appearance," says Michaela, a freshman at Fischer College.

2. Avon Anew Clinical Professional Cellulite Treatment; $30.  The gel has a firming polymer that when applied to the skin's surface tightens the surrounding cells. As the cells tighten, the space between the connective tissue diminishes, preventing fat cells from bulging through as cellulite. "It didn't only reduce cellulite—I swear that my butt checks actually shrank in size," says Christina, a senior at Boston College.

3. Dior Svelte Reversal; $64.  The active ingredients silicone and grape extract work together to fill your skin's lumps and tighten the connective tissue. "I noticed a small difference and it smelled great," says Jen, a senior at University of Massachusetts, Lowell.

4. Laser Treatments; $1500.  The newest laser treatment, the Cellulaze procedure, is performed under a local anesthetic during which the physician inserts a narrow tube the size of the tip of a pen under the skin. Cynosure's firing technology directs laser thermal energy to the treatment zones to diminish the lumpy pockets of fat, release the areas of skin depression, and increase the elasticity and thickness of the skin. Cynosure President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Davin says that this procedure requires just one treatment.
