While there's no magic cure to get rid of cellulite, you can reduce its appearance. That smooshed skin effect is caused by fat cells trapped between layers of connective tissue, making for a rippled result, according to Robert Ersek, an Austin-based plastic surgeon. You can deal with the dimples on the cheap with a daily dose of firming cream, which contains ingredients like caffeine and seaweed that are said to tighten and moisturize the skin.
Results start to appear within one month.
It's said to break down the fat cells so that if and when they rebuild, they do so in a smoother fashion, explains Dr. Ersek. But you'll need monthly sessions thereafter to maintain results. Read our Privacy Policy . Inc. All rights reserved.
