Question

Cellulite cream - Are there any that actually work?

Do cellulite creams really work?  I've heard that creams with ingredients like caffeine, ginseng, coffeeberry, etc. really do make your cellulite look better, but I'd like to know which ones work the best (or at all) before I invest in a whole jar.

Cellulite creams don't work

Creams don't work for cellulite. Some may contain products that cause some temporary irritation which causes some swelling and some very temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

The best treatment for cellulite is Endermologie. Nothing is permanent but Endermologie has a long track record of being effective. After a baseline series of treatments, that do not hurt, maintenance requires 2 or 3 treatments yearly.

The person administering the treatment is very important. Our Endermologie Therapist at Rejuvenation Center has more experience than anyone in Northern California and a very long list of satisfied patients who continue to return for years. Make sure the Therapist is properly trained and has good experience. Ask for references.
