Cellulite treatments that actually work?

Hi ladies, I need your help! I was wanting to try a salon treatment for cellulite (believe me, it's gone way beyond the realms of what a cream can do!) and I keep seeing this Endermology (think that's what it's called or is that the study of insects?!) which tends to have good reviews. Has anyone ever had anything done at a salon that has really worked? I once did Carol Vorderman's Detox for a month and even that didn't make a difference........ So maybe diet and exercise isn't even tough enough for the job!

Cellulite has nothing to do with diet or exercise and creams and lotions will not get rid of it.
It has to do with your levels of oestrogen...so...lots of oestrogen, and you are likely to have cellulite.
Its also why women have it more than men.0 -
try agnus castus supplements, aloe vera and drink plenty of water all to help balance/flush out toxins. also, there is a device which works on using ultrasound that helps break the fat down. auravita have them on sale at the moment:

Yep - you can't get rid of it without very invasive procedures - and even then, it may well return. You can do things to reduce the appearance of it though. (There's some basic advice here http://www.healthy-hints.com/skin_tone_&_cellulite.html - all pretty much common sense stuff, but there may be a few nuggets in there you haven't tried.)
The firming creams on the market don't have a long term effect (they generally work by plumping up skin cells in the same way as a volumising lipstick) but they can temporarily make skin look a lot better, so good if it's going to be on show!
By far the best solution I have to say though: fake tan (a real tan would work too, but at this time of year it's unlikely to be an option unless you happen to live in Brazil!). The shadows created by cellulite are far less obvious on darker toned skin (I model part time and a tan is a godsend in more scantily clad situations! Although photoshop has advanced a lot, no-one has yet invented a real-life airbrush as far as I know!). Obviously it can be expensive getting it done at a salon, although it is a much better result (and most beauty colleges do them cheap at a slight risk of satsuma syndrome). If you're going to be MSE and do it at home, the ones that come with a spray tend to be easier to apply - if you can, get a (very) close friend to help do the hard to reach bits.0
