Question #5: Why are cellulite treatments and creams so popular?
Both professional and DIY treatments can help create the look of smoother skin, which is all we're really after in the first place. At the spa, you can opt for non-surgical, non-invasive body contouring treatments. "There are many devices available, for example VelaSmooth, that propose to reduce the appearance of cellulite," reveals Dr. Kellett. "The only device soon to be available in Canada that has been proven to actually liquefy fat is the UltraShape, available only in physician's offices," she says. Alternatively, you can go the at-home route with topical treatments, such as creams and gels. Active ingredients like caffeine temporarily plump up the skin, creating a more toned surface. Try L'Oréal Paris Perfect Slim Patch, $25, two to three times a week. When used with a toning cream it allows you to target problem areas for maximum firming results.
