Subcision
Another process that has been FDA-cleared is called Cellfina. In this procedure, a doctor puts a needle under your skin to cut the fibrous tissues that cause cellulite. It's been shown to last more than two years, and is designed to treat individual trouble spots, dimple by dimple. Unfortunately, as with laser treatments, it's quite pricey: It'll run you around $4,000.

Shockwave Therapy
Using the same technology that doctors use to break up kidney stones, doctors administer the shockwaves twice a week for six weeks. Patients generally see results and the price tag is much lower than the other treatments we've discussed. That said, more research needs to be done and doctors aren't yet sure how long the results last.

Yes, cellulite is genetic and happens to all of us, but if you replace your fat with muscle, well, you've got a recipe for smooth success. Just be sure to it the right way: A healthy diet combined with weights and cardio will help to decrease your cellulite naturally.
