Comparing Cellulite Treatments

There are three major kinds of cellulite treatments in the marketplace: Topical products that are applied to the surface of your skin; surgical procedures and American Laser Centers' AmeriSmooth technology.

Topical Cellulite Treatments:
Creams, lotions and other topical products that claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite have one major flaw: They generally don't work well, or even work at all. The main reason for their ineffectiveness is that cellulite is a tough substance that gathers under the surface of your skin, below the effective reach of topical cellulite treatments. Effective cellulite treatments need to reach under your skin to physically break down the cellulite layer and reduce its effects to your skin's appearance.

Dermatologic Surgery Cellulite Treatments:
While surgeries performed by a dermatologist can break up cellulite deposits and are often effective, the pain, post-operative discomfort and appearance of the area and other side effects have made them relatively unpopular cellulite treatments. Unlike topical products, surgeries do physically break down or eliminate cellulite deposits, but at a physical cost that many are not willing to pay for cellulite treatments.

AmeriSmooth Cellulite Treatments:
American Laser Centers' AmeriSmooth cellulite treatments combine the non-invasive benefits of topical treatments with the effectiveness of traditional surgical procedures to offer our clients the best in comfort, effectiveness and safety. AmeriSmooth cellulite treatments use a combination of infrared and radio energies to penetrate deep into your skin to break down the cellulite deposits and combining those energies with deep tissue massage to physically smooth out the cellulite and reduce or eliminate its visual effects on your skin surface, AmeriSmooth provides a proven alternative to ineffective topical cellulite treatments or unpleasant surgeries.
