this morning and get the lowdown on say you know okay but we all right I'll thank you still come
you're on today the bane of any woman's existence cellulite so can any of those popular remedies
I'm not going to a lot of women have
just worked out really well three women to go out and test some of the latest products
and treatments for cellulite to see if any of them work and you're going to find out
which ones do which ones don't everyone's in between yeah apparently there's one that
might work temporarily i'm hearing the rest anyway it wouldn't look right we'll
find out about that also a guy going to be talking about but up next if you were long
pants all the time just because you can't stand the cellulite on your legs going to
take out some popular solution to see if we can help make them go away that's after this
back at eight eleven this morning on gimmick or for real cellulite treatments do they really get
rid of that dreaded cottage cheese we said today correspondent and I village contributor Janice
Lieberman to find out Janice good morning to you cellulitis Lu Li I think it goes either
way okay all right well process it doesn't go away that's doing that right giving it away
products promising to fight cellulite or big business women spend about a hundred million
dollars a year on creams gels and procedures at the dermatologist office but do they work
as advertised for decades women have pulled out all the stops to achieve the perfect body
even with exercise and healthy eating for most of us the cellulite remains over ninety percent
of women have that cottage cheese look but what really causes the cellulite cellulite
is condition with the deep layers of that protrudes into the superficial layers of
the skin wasn't implying and appearances there are a host of topicals on the market
claiming things like notice up to an inch reduction around the thighs or reduce the
appearance of cellulite by up to sixty nine percent these are amazing claims are they for
real unfortunately the results from these products and we're very disappointing we
really rarely see something that we find this is effective there's not enough science behind
well you hear that you're going to reduce cellulite by sixty-nine percent a lot of people
are going to try the products obviously that's right so we agree and that's why we have three
women try three of the more credible products on the market today first up is 43 year-old
Lorna green who wouldn't want legs like those no cellulite there but let's be honest for most of us
working out and diet just doesn't do it I exercise all the time it didn't go away I see it all have
liposuction done it just took the fat pockets way but the site light on the skin remains for
Lorna we purchased the clarins total body lift for $58 hi Lorna it says it gives you stubborn
cellulite control you'll have to use it every day from your ankles to your way ready to give
it a try check back with you and good luck after carefully following the directions and using the
Clarence twice a day for two months how did Lorna do I'm disappointed I didn't see anything I felt
a tingling sensation when I did put the product on after a few weeks I would look in the mirror and I
myself saw no difference this I light was a stone as it was before I even use the topical cream the
doctors take fortunately we really didn't see any results and that is pretty much what I expected
cellulite is not a superficial condition and the top of the product just doesn't have the ability
to penetrate deep into the dermis in this case cellulite seems to be the winner we contacted the
folks at Clarence and they chose not to comment on this okay well if you're not going to just
do the ointment I understand this new trend where you add the oral supplements with ointment that's
right so we gave that a try that was for Paula Oberg she followed dr. Howard Murad's cellulite
solution which combines a topical and a dietary supplement and costs four hundred and thirty
dollars for an eight week supply the problem is I have cottage cheese legs I haven't always had
it I think I started getting it after my third child i'd be willing to try anything to get rid
of it paula is hopeful dr. Murad's claims to take back your body in eight weeks and reduce
the appearance of cellulite by up to sixty nine percent holds true for her so twice a day she
took the dietary supplements and used the firming serum eight weeks later how did she fare I really
thought that there was going to be a difference from everything that they said on the label that
there was no difference in my legs even though I followed the instructions completely the doctors
take unfortunately Paula had really no results topical remedies typically just affect the very
surface of the skin the oral remedy so they may increase the metabolism of the body they're not
you're getting at the root cause of cellulite we contacted dr. Murad and we're told quote we have
witnessed firsthand many very positive results from our product from our users in our spa and
medical practice they also say their product has gone for rigorous independent third-party testing
they say with excellent results okay but our ladies did not have much luck when it came to the
topicals in the oral supplement so you asked dr. Chasen to have an in-office treatment by to hear
about these procedures we had 39 year old Janice soprano try a combination of two procedures the
derma wave and the velasmooth which can be costly lucky for her he did it for free my cellulite is
lumpy and bumpy and rippling and it's going to sticks out on the tractor twice a week for eight
weeks Janice went to dr. Jason's office for two procedures the dermal way a no needle mesotherapy
system that claims to break down the fat and velasmooth which uses radio frequency infrared
energy and tissue manipulation which supposedly reduces fat and reap contours the skin surface
the cost thirty-five hundred to four thousand dollars eight weeks later how'd she make out
I was very surprised the treatments went well I was here twice a week and I could affect there
was about a seventy percent reduction in my celly and I lost about eight and a half of my thighs
probably about two inches off my hips and buttocks the doctors say there's no cure for cellulite and
there's no way to remove it a hundred percent with Janice we received about a sixty to seventy
percent improvement one thing to note to get these results Jenna spent about three hours a week at
dr. Jason's office and she'll have to go back for 250 to 300 dollar follow-up treatments every month
or two you know they can get a man to the moon but they can't get rid of the sansa exactly well if
that was pretty good though a lot you get to pick your expensive Janice thanks so much up next big
