To reduce cellulite, you may follow the below listed home and natural remedies:
Use a soft body brush on damp or dry skin, brushing in long sweeping movements over the afflicted area, and working in the direction of the heart.
Use a massage glove or rough sisal mitt in the same way as above.
Always massage a cellulite cream thoroughly with your fingertips. It makes them double effective. Remember, the massaging action is more important than the cellulite cream.
For those dimppled areas, take caffinatted coffee, grind it into dust & mix with cheap hand lotion, rub this into your problem spots for 60 second a day,then shower it off & watch those cellulite areas become smoother & firmer!

Me being straightforward
1. Some creams and lotions will diminish the appearance for a brief stint. If you are planning on lounging in a bikini all day, it couldn’t hurt to rub some cellulite cream into your thighs. It’s generally overpriced, but if you can afford it and it makes you more confident, then do it. The caffeine tightens up the blood vessels and will make the skin look smoother for a short time.
2. Massages will do basically the same thing. This is a cover up, not a cure. However massages are great for many other reasons, including circulation, rejuvenation and stress reduction.
3. Self-tanner. The skin just shows fewer dimples when it’s browner (or oranger depending on your product).
4. Diet and exercise! Oh my golly, you mean there is another reason to eat right and work out? Yes!
OK, I would be lying if I said it will most definitely get rid of all your cellulite. It will certainly help and it can’t hurt, but remember that cellulite is genetic.
Strength training will lower your overall body fat, which will lower the appearance of fat under the skin. The best part of this method is that it won’t disappear after two hours. If you tighten up your muscles and start to notice a difference, this solution will be one that sticks around for awhile.
Just one more reason to get your butt to the gym!

Tyra Banks vs. Tisha Campbell
March 26, 2007. MediaTakeOut.com obtained some pics of Tyra Banks and Tisha Campbell showing off their cellulite at a recent celebrity event. Warning to readers - please stop eating before you scroll down any further.Would you look at Tisha's stomach. That's what happens to you when liposuction goes terribly wrong. Whichever doctor did that to Tisha needs to have his/her license revoked. And Tyra is spotted on the red carpet proudly showing off her cottage-cheese thighs. There's nothing wrong with being a thick woman. 'Cause Lord knows, we love us some thick women. But Tyra really needs to take her big forehead over to the treadmill and tighten up those legs...

More complaints!
The New England Journal of Medicine is fighting back against drug-supplement companies that are falsely claiming the journal endorses a hormone promoted over the Internet as an anti-aging miracle.
The journal never endorses products. For at least a year, it has been trying unsuccessfully to get several Web sites and Internet mass mailers to drop claims that a tiny study published in the journal 13 years ago proves human growth hormone works, said Dr. Jeffrey M. Drazen, editor in chief.
"It makes my blood boil to see this happen," he said. "People were sending me letters saying, 'How can you endorse this stuff?' "
Some of the ads falsely quote the study's lead author, Dr. Daniel Rudman, as calling synthetic human growth hormone a wonder drug. Some ads link readers to the brief, highly technical summary of the study on the journal's Web site as proof.
In the study, 12 elderly men with low levels of growth hormone received a synthetic version for six months, and saw small increases in bone and muscle mass. But the main conclusion was only that diminished secretion of the natural hormone caused a decrease in muscle mass and skin thickness and the extra body fat typical of aging.
Still, dozens of Internet marketers of growth hormone products, which like other diet supplements are sold without government approval, claimed the study proves that their synthetic hormone or hormone-stimulating products reverse the aging process by up to 20 years. Claims range from eliminating wrinkles, fat and cellulite to increasing bone and muscle mass, stamina and sexual potency and restoring lost hair - in its original colour.
Drazen wrote an editorial in Thursday's issue of the journal denouncing the tactic. He noted the original study had several flaws and was accompanied by a critical editorial by Dr. Mary Lee Vance. She wrote that the study was too short to show the risks or to demonstrate whether any benefits would last, so general use "is not justified."
"There are likely to be significant and devastating side effects," Drazen said this week.
Because the July 5, 1990, study was getting 10,000 Internet "hits" a month - nearly 250 times more than other articles from the period - the journal on Jan. 31 posted the entire article, not just the summary, with Vance's editorial.
A new editorial by Vance in Thursday's journal adds to her original criticisms, saying synthetic growth hormone could increase the risk of cancer in elderly people. She said subsequent research showed that growth hormone does not increase muscle strength or breathing capacity, and that oral versions of the hormone could not work because stomach acid would destroy them.
Journal attorney Joe Appel has called and written cease-and-desist letters to several of the companies, with no response, and asked the attorneys general in Massachusetts and New Jersey to investigate.
The companies he cited include Ultimate Health of Madison, N.J., which did not respond to telephone inquiries from The Associated Press, and The American Anti-Aging Society. There is no telephone listing for its headquarters in Knoxville, Tenn., and its Web site appears to have been shut down.
Dozens of other marketers are using the society's marketing materials, with the same disputed claims, and charging up to $80 US for a month's supply of the hormones.
The New Jersey attorney general's office said it is looking into complaints from the journal and a dozen people about Ultimate Health.

Mesotherapy article
Source: Rochester Democrat
(July 29, 2006) — Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not caused by excess weight. It’s all in your genes. Cellulite is caused by clumps of fat cells that push up against surrounding fibrous connective tissue. This is what gives you dimples and what appears to be clumps of fat under your skin.
Women typically have cellulite because their adipose tissue is structured differently than men. As women gain weight, the fat cells swell while the connective tissue stays the same, thereby causing that lovely dimpling effect women all love to hate. Cellulite is typically a female problem; it can affect women of all ages irrespective of their weight. In women, fat cells on the lower part of the body store fat six times more readily than those on the upper body. They also release them six times less readily. This makes weight loss from the lower body almost impossible without the upper body suffering unnecessarily. The answer: No Needle Mesotherapy.
Tell me more about No Needle Mesotherapy
A new treatment, called DermaWave No Needle Mesotherapy™, uses specially designed pulses of electrical energy to relieve the congested tissue. This new technique called Aquaphoresis™ is a non-invasive, medically supervised treatment that utilizes laser technology and a sequence of electrical waveforms to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Because it is non-invasive, the treatment poses no known health risks for healthy patients—there are no known side effects and no recovery time.
How does No Needle Mesotherapy work?
DermaWave treatments relieve congested areas of cellulite deposits by using a very low energy laser and a sequence of specialized electrical currents. These electrical currents are used in combination with a smooth, plastic disk that is gently rubbed in a rotary motion over the treatment area, pushing the medication into the mesoderm layer of the skin. The electrical currents are balanced by positive and negative ions, in combination with pulsating energy. The electrical waveforms help increase microcirculation, lymph drainage and enhance blood flow, thus reactivating the specific physiological processes in tissue that contributes to the formation of cellulite. The actual treatment takes approximately 20 minutes and should be done twice a week for optimal results.
What to expect during your first visit?
On the first visit, you will meet with Dr. Tahmtan Hormozdyaran, M.D. to discuss a treatment strategy that best matches your needs. Dr. Hormozdyaran will talk to you about your medical history and lifestyle. During this visit, he will decide the best strategy to meet your goals and produce optimal results. Often, the strategy is a combination of treatments that can enhance results. Our goal is to meet your needs and wishes by customizing a plan.
What can I expect after a treatment? Multiple treatments?
A treatment session lasts about 30 minutes. Most clients will need to complete a series of 8-10 sessions to achieve excellent results. The results depend on the severity of the cellulite condition; however most see a change after 5 or 6 visits. After optimal results are achieved from a series of treatments, follow-up treatments every 2-6 months are suggested to maintain the benefit.
What about pain?
No Needle Mesotherapy is pain free.
Traditional mesotherapy breaks the bands of connective tissues by painfully injecting small amounts of homeopathic medicine immediately beneath the surface of the skin. This needle method also causes unsightly bruising, black and blue spots and is not recommended during warmer times of the year when you would wear a bathing suit or shorts.
The Aquaphoresis™ technique is patient friendly and the intensity is customized to the individual, eliminating any discomfort. This allows for a shorter time between treatments—enhancing the effectiveness. This technique offers great results with no downtime or bruising. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after a treatment.
What are the other uses of No Needle Mesotherapy?
No Needle Mesotherapy can be used as facial treatments to return skin tissue to normal function and appearance. This treatment called, Dermal Aquaphoresis,™ is designed to maximize skin recovery and repair by penetrating the outer protective covering using electrical waveforms and a conductive gel.
Dermal Aquaphoresis™ works by using a combination of three waveforms that push the medication deep into the skin. The initial waveform dilates the tiny openings, hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, which allows the active ingredient to transfer down in the skin. A second waveform stimulates blood flow and microcirculation by targeting muscle tone to increase firmness. Increasing blood flow also helps your skin to produce collagen for more elasticity. The third waveform focuses on lymphatic drainage of toxins and waste products. This treatment is painless and requires no down time.
