The term cellulite was penned in the 1960s, from the French word cellule or ‘small cell.’ Leave it to the French to put a name to what most women (or like 99%) experience at some point in their lives.

A KINDER, GENTLER WAY TO LOSE YOUR BULGES
You’ve sworn off carbs and mojitos, and have been hitting SoulCycle® with a vengeance all summer long. But sometimes that just isn’t enough. Sometimes, you need a little medical intervention. Liposuction is hard on the body at times, and recovery may take longer as you age. Luckily, liposuction has a new solution in town: HydraSolve™’s low-energy tissue liquefaction technology (TLT) is reinventing the nature of body contouring.
