Laser Treatment – In this treatment option, the dermatologists will adjust the device and melt fat under the skin, it will break-up the fibrous bands under the skin and stimulate collagen production.

Liposuction – In this surgical procedure, the surgeon will remove fat deposits from the body through a tiny incisions. However, this surgical procedure removes deep fat, not cellulite and in some rare cases it may make the cellulite appear worse.

Massage – Endormologia is a treatment option that will increase blood flow, remove toxins and reduce excess fluid in cellulite-prone areas.

Mesotherapy – For this therapy, you will be injected substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes into the tissue just beneath the skin, to help you to get rid of cellulite.
However, with mesotherapy several unwanted effects can occur, these include: infection, rashes and bumpy or uneven skin contours.
