Update on Cellulite:

What is cellulite? My research has yielded some answers to this question. Cellulite is caused by a loss of collagen in the dermis and as a result the fat herniates upwards through the dermis and causes the lumpiness on the skin. It has nothing to do with “toxins” or “poor lymphatic flow” or other such nonsense. In fact, the study which I published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, which is a peer-reviewed medical journal, has shown that, quite uniformly, that women with cellulite have lost collagen in the dermis. In fact, earlier biopsies performed at Rockefeller University have also confirmed this finding. It has nothing to do with your weight, your shoes or clothing or anything else like this. It’s all about collagen.
So…what can be done? Collagen boosting creams do have some role here, but in my opinion, they work best if done in conjunction with some technology
Here’s a run down of the technologies which I think work: Intense Pulsed Light: for mild cellulite and light skin
Accent: About a 30-50% improvement in the texture of the skin and appearance
Smooth Shapes: All the advantages of the Velashape but it has a diode laser that targets fat.

Just remember….results can always vary and it’s impossible to predict who may and who may not get a response. Also, if it “sounds crazy”, it probably is!
