An assessment of traditional and novel therapies for cellulite.
There are numerous treatments for cellulite including topical, surgical, laser and other therapies. Many of these treatments are expensive.

This article will focus on both traditional and novel treatments for cellulite and assess their efficacy based on the scientific literature.
