What's the one word that can send most women and some men into a severe panic? Cellulite. And doctors insist those lumps, bumps and ripples can certainly be stubborn even with diet and exercise. Now, a smooth breakthrough that ladies insist comes just in the nick of time for swimsuit season.
Dimples, ripples, cottage cheese…what ever you choose to call it, ladies agree, cellulite is the dirtiest word in the dermis-dictionary.
"Cellulite is an accumulation of fat that develops under the skin."
When stubborn lumps and bumps can't be smoothed with diet and exercise, ladies like Jessica Johnson check into Musto Medical in Pacific Palisades.
"Fear no more cause help is here."
The fix for flawless skin, this all natural skin and body clinic custom designs cellulite-busting packages for individual needs. The smooth operators use multiple remedies. The VellaSmooth laser.
"We use a VellaSmooth laser which in an infrared light with a slight suction heats up fat and passes it through the system."
With a Meso-derm cream that promises to shrink inches overnight. Plus supplements and a shot of B vitamins once a week promises sleek thighs, tummy and arms in just five weeks.
"I've noticed smoothening of the skin," Johnson told us.
Combo packages start at around $2,000. "Ten treatments are $2,200 and that includes your cream, injections, and supplements for five weeks."
And this re-firm laser is also used to tighten loose skin. "It's perfect getting ready for swimsuit season."
Doctors say it works great on baggy, saggy knees as well as cellulite. "There is no pain involved, there is no down time."
Now Jessica says sleek and smooth are her word of the season. Musto Medical says not everyone responds the same to each therapy, that's why it's so important to treat cellulite with multiple approaches.
