There are a few different options for eliminating cellulite.  I have tied many different products and procedures that claim to get rid of cellulite and reduce cellulite, these are my experiences.  I am 27 years old 5'2 and I way 110 lbs. I am active yet I still have cellulite that I would like to get rid of. I started to get cellulite when I was around 25 years old.  I have tried many creams, gels, ect. that claim to get rid of cellulite or reduce cellulite.  A few procedures I have ried are endermologie and mesotherapy.  Both mesotherapy and endermologie claim to get rid of cellulite. These are my experiences with both procedures.
                                                                    MESOTHERAPY
Mesotherapy is the practice of giving microinjections of conventional and homeopathic medications (and/or vitamins) under the skin to treat cellulite.  Most doctors say there is no way to get rid of cellulite permanently.  I was hoping that they were wrong because in Florida it is always bikini season.  I have done mesotherapy 4 times and I am happy to say that I disagree. (I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you don't do something about your cellulite early it will continue to get worse.)  My cellulite has gotton so much better but I still feel I need a few more sessions.  Sometimes it can take a while to see the cellulite disappearing but have patience's and you will see a big difference.  There is also a book you can read about how to avoid getting more cellulite, how you got it in the 1st place, and it talks about mesotherapy.  
(                  BOOK  LINK            )    I know the thought of injecting a needle into the sensitive areas of your legs and butt doesn't sound very pleasant but it's not that bad.  I mean don't get me wrong it doesn't feel like a relaxing spa treatment but it is very bearable.  Actually the 1st and 2nd time I had mesotherapy I refused the numbing cream.  The 3rd time I decided to stop trying to be a hero and I lathered up.  By the way in case you didn't get the point TAKE THE CREAM, because with the cream you don't really feel much.  After you reach your desired result you will need to maintain it with only one session per year.  Anything else you would like to know about my experience or this procedure feel free to ask.
                                                               ENDERMOLOGIE
Endermologie is also a great way to get rid of cellulite, reduce fat, and tighten skin.  Endermologie acts as a vacuum, It sucks your skin and fat into the machine and breaks up the fat cells. (okay  now you can start getting excited)  During your visit expect it to sound as though they were drinking a slurpie or maybe trying to give you a hickie.  With this cellulite treatment it is recommended to do twice per week until you reach your desired results.  You will start to see results fairly quick.  I saw very nice results with 5 treatments.  What I really liked about endermologie is that it was pretty painless, and didn't take very long. (about 30 - 40 minute sessions.)  The 1st thing I noticed was my skin getting tighter, the 2nd thing I noticed was my cellulite disappearing, next came fat reduction.  On the back of my legs right beneath my butt I hate that bulge of fat (some call it a banana, which is crazy because usually I love bananas) endermologie was getting rid of it.  I was very happy with my results with this procedure.  However there was one downfall,  I ended up going on vacation shortly after my 5th treatment and was not able to return for more treatments for quite a few weeks.  okay fine I didn't go back for anymore procedures. (not very smart)  With that my favorite fruit came back after a month or two.  Having said that this procedure still got rid of my cellulite and prepared me to feel better in my teeny weeny bikini.  I do recommend this procedure for people that would like a less invasive option for getting rid of cellulite and helping with fat reduction.  However you do need to do maintenance, I was told twice a month is best. (I think that is a very small price to pay to be able to wear a pair of daisy dukes without your thighs resembling the popcorn on your ceiling) Anything else you would like to know about my experience or this procedure feel free to ask or comment.
