“I have been involved in cellulite reduction since 2003 and I have lost count of people who expect a cellulite cream to magically perform instant, complete and cellulite elimination with a handful of random applications, when the same people (correctly) expect to see long-lasting results from an anti-ageing creams after 2-3 months of use. There is indeed a lot of “magical thinking” when it comes to cellulite creams and this article is about separating fact from “miracles”.”
if you want results, use a concentrated cellulite cream, once or twice a day
For a cellulite cream to work, you have to use it daily or twice daily for 6-12 weeks
With the exception of moisturisers, most people use skincare products occasionally
Pick a real cellulite cream, change your lifestyle and use your cream daily, for best results

For a cellulite cream to work, you have to use it daily or twice daily for 6-12 weeks
Indeed most cellulite creams do not work:
Most cellulite creams are diluted junk, with little or no active anti-cellulite ingredients in them and are designed, manufactured and marketed for one reason: maximum profit. So even if you apply them religiously they do not have a chance in hell to work (sorry for the harsh words, but that’s the actual truth - analyse the ingredients of the top selling cellulite creams and you will come to the same conclusion).
Most people do not change their habits that initially led to the creation of cellulite and expect the cellulite cream to do all the work, while they keep creating new cellulite with those habits. Again, under these circumstances, even if you apply your cream religiously it will not work.
And many people only use their cellulite cream from time to time. No skincare product, cellulite cream or not, will ever work if you don’t apply it.
Forgive me for stating the obvious but the obvious quite often evades most of us. The fact is that for something to work you have to do it regularly:
To pass the exams you must study daily
To build muscle you must go to the gym 3-5 times a week
To lose weight you must diet
For a strong cellulite treatment to work you must receive it every 2-15 days
And for a concentrated cellulite cream to work you must apply it once or twice a day
With the exception of moisturisers, most people use skincare products occasionally
It sounds simple, but you would be surprised how often I hear from people that “I had that treatment [once in a blue moon] or used that skincare product [from time to time] and didn’t work”.
Well, no skincare product or treatment works if you don’t do it regularly.
A few months ago, a client used her cellulite cream twice a week, after having her twice-weekly baths, and very innocently asked why doesn’t the cream work? In addition, that person actually never changed a single thing in her - very unhealthy - diet and was allergic to exercise too. The fact is that without using the cream (and without changing your diet) it is never going to work.
Another one, took three months to use one bottle of cream (equivalent to 20 daily applications on the thighs and butt) and wondered why it doesn’t work. I explained to her that according to her use of 20 applications in 90 days, she only applied the cream every 4-5 days on average. No skincare product works if you only apply it every 4-5 days. When I asked her to try again using the cream daily, it did work for her, she was satisfied by the cream and ordered more.
I am not blaming anyone here. We all lead busy lives. We all forget. We all even lie to ourselves about our diet, exercise, supplements and skincare products from time to time - including myself. Our life is simply hectic and a skincare product sometimes is the 15th priority in our life.
Plus most people are not experts in skincare. People hear and read all sorts of lies about instant miracle cures with just a few (or even just one) applications or treatments and believe them.
Like I don’t understand accounting at all, I do not expect an accountant to know about skincare. Hence the advice, to accountants or anyone else, below.
Pick a real cellulite cream, change your lifestyle and use your cream daily, for best results
I am just stating the facts to make it clear that:
If you want your cellulite cream (or any skincare product, in general) to work, you must use it daily or - even better - twice daily, where applicable. Skincare / anti-cellulite products that are supposed to work instantly are either very temporary or pure fraud.
If you want your cellulite treatment (or any anti-ageing/skin tightening treatment, in general) to work, you must receive it every 2-15 days. Again, anti-ageing / skin tightening / anti-cellulite treatments that are supposed to work instantly are either very temporary or pure fraud.
Just make sure you:
Buy a real cellulite cream, i.e. one with multiple, high-purity anti-cellulite actives in high concentrations
Book a course of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and high-power ultrasound cavitation, the only SAFE anti-cellulite / skin tightening technologies that work
And remember to follow a healthy nutrition/exercise regime, for maximum results.
LipoTherapeia® Plus: Have a skin tightening/cellulite treatment with London’s cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
