By Lara G Giddins

Liposuction is the most effective way to get rid of cellulite. Even so, many people don't want to take the risk of undergoing plastic surgery or the cost. Thankfully, there are many cost effective alternative to plastic surgery that can be effective in removing cellulite from all those problems areas that you have.

Treatments that you can do in the home are things like diet changes, more exercise or using body scrubs. For the day spa environment there treatments like body wraps, sound waves and laser therapy that help to remove the fat from underneath the skin and improve circulation flow to the skin itself.

One cellulite reduction treatment that you can do in your own home is a body scrub. Take some dry coffee and mix it together with a particular lotion. Massage the liquid into the problem areas. Many people don't realize that coffee has anti-cellulite properties. After several weeks of using this body scrub you will notice a difference to your skin.

Exercise can be a cost effective treatment for cellulite. Cardiovascular exercise will help you burn fat and cellulite, while strength training will help tone the muscles and increase the amount of calories that you burn during the day. Experiment with swimming, running or playing sport as way to get your exercise done.

Of course, any exercise program should be accompanied by appropriate dietary changes. Simple changes are only required for big results so look at the amount of sugar and fat you consume.

An effective treatment for cellulite is massage and it is possible to do this at home. Massage works by softening up the skin and fat, and making the dimples less obvious.

Of course, you don't have to rely solely on cheap home techniques. Most beauty spas have plenty of machines at their disposal that they can expertly use to help you in your goal to lose cellulite.

A popular spa treatment involves using a Endermologie machine. The machine rolls over the cellulite to flatten and smooth the dimpled skin and to make the blood circulate the skin.

A non-invasive method is Acoustic Wave Therapy. During this method, sound waves are sent harmlessly through the skin and directed at the fat cells in the layer beneath.

While these treatments are all considered effective, plastic surgery can be an option to reduce cellulite. Liposuction is the procedure of choice and this involves sucking out the cellulite fat via a vacuum. This is probably the most effective cellulite treatment available currently. If you want to know more don't hesitate to visit your local plastic surgeon. - 16004
