ABSTRACT
Many of the currently accepted cellulite therapies target defi ciencies in lymphatic drainage and microvascular circulation. Devices utilizing either exclusively or in combination are radiofrequency (RF)-, laser-, and light-based energies; many coupled with tissue manipulation are available for the improvement of cellulite. Laser-assisted liposuction with and without autologous fat transfer for the improvement of the appearance of cellulite has also been utilized. Although improvement using these devices is temporary, they may last for several months. Thus, patients who wish to have smoother skin with less visible cellulite can have a series of treatments and then return for additional treatments as necessary.
