What truly gets rid of cellulite?

TL;DR: Nothing truly gets rid of cellulite, because there’s never one thing that will do that. Plus in most cases you cannot get rid of cellulite - you can only reduce it.

It is about a collection of things (permanent lifestyle changes, treatments, creams) that will truly reduce cellulite and keep it that way forever.

How to really get rid of cellulite?

I've tried everything and nothing works. What does really get rid of cellulite?

This is a very common question that we hear at the clinic and also a very common question all over the internet. People believe the beauty industry marketing hype and all the extra extraordinary miracle claims, and then, when those claims do not materialise, they get disappointed.

Well, after seeing literally thousands of clients over more than two decades, and after researching the subject continuously for the last 20+ years, let me put it as clearly, as honestly and as bluntly:

In most cases, you cannot get rid of cellulite. Period.

In all but the lightest cases, there are permanent changes inside the skin, which mean that cellulite cannot be rid off. Only mild and/or recent cellulite can be rid of.

So the question is what truly reduces cellulite, not what truly gets rid of cellulite.

There is not one thing that gets rid of reduces cellulite. Such a single thing does not exist.

Forget what the manipulative aesthetic practitioners, beauty therapists and cosmetic surgeons tell you. Your cellulite will not be rid of reduced with just one thing, that's impossible. Furthermore, your cellulite will not be rid of reduced with one single session. It ain’t gonna happen.

You need to work on multiple fronts in order to effectively reduce cellulite. And if you have ANY treatment/procedure, of ANY kind, this has to be over 5, 10 or - for the worst cases - even 20 sessions, not one, neither two nor three nor four miracle procedures.

It doesn't work that way. The only way it works that way (i.e. single miracle session) is for the practitioner to make lots of money out of you in a single session.

So how can I truly reduce cellulite?

We have an 100+ tip article dedicated specifically to this question and you can read it here. But in a nutshell:

  • You must follow a very strict healthy nutrition plan

  • You must exercise and be physically active as much as possible

  • And for faster results, you must have a course of 6 to 12 sessions of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, i.e. the strongest SAFE cellulite reduction technology available today. Don’t fall for the HIFU or RF microneedling hype, you will be disappointed, and you may end up being burned, literally - as you can see on the links.

  • A real cellulite cream, i.e. one with multiple, high-purity anti-cellulite actives in high concentrations, can also help in this process

There are no two ways about it. You cannot have a single session miracle treatment and then expect your cellulite to disappear completely and forever without permanently switching to a super healthy nutrition and exercise regime.

So this is what truly reduces cellulite: switch to a healthy lifestyle now (plenty of details on our 100+ tip article), and if possible apply a good cellulite cream and have a course of 5, 10, 20 cellulite treatments. And keep this lifestyle forever after you finish your course.

I know this is not the one thing that truly gets rid of cellulite, but there has never been one thing.
