[Learn Why]
Our mission is to provide the public an informative, authoritative, and credible resource for understanding cellulite, its causes, and its treatment. There are so many products and devices which claim to “improve” or “treat” cellulite it is very difficult to know what is truly helpful. As a Patient’s Guide® website, we are committed to the highest standards of medical accuracy and review.

It may develop in your teens or later, it will depend on your genes. That said, over 85% of women will have cellulite before the age of 40. For more on cellulite, visit What is Cellulite

Velashape is effective for temporary treatment of cellulite, in my opinion. As with any treatment for cellulite, Velashape doesn't permanently treat it. To learn more visit Velashape

No, currently there is no permanent cure for cellulite. This is still one of those dermatologic conditions we improve rather than remove. There are treatments available that treat cellulite temporarily, however.

Selecting the right doctor for treating cellulite is the most important part of your treatment. A skin care expert is the preferable choice, someone who will honestly evaluate you and give you the correct information about treatment options. You should know nothing will totally cure your cellulite and be aware of the risk/reward trade-off involved.

One treatment involving massage, known as Endermologie, has shown some results for temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite. A number of treatments also incorporate massage, such as Velashape.
