From removing hair to fixing bad eyesight, there’s a lot that lasers can do. But how effective are laser cellulite treatments?

Laser is basically a very powerful, focused beam of light. Depending on the wavelength of the laser, it can penetrate through human tissue, which is what’s behind its major rise as a medical and aesthetic technology. Since cellulite is one of the most common yet frustrating issues plaguing women, it makes sense to wonder whether it really works.

Different salons and medspas offer a few different types of cellulite laser treatments, so in this post, we’ll explain which work, which don't, and cover the risks and drawbacks.

Hot Lasers vs. Cold Lasers

There are a few types of lasers used for cellulite treatment, but the main two categories are hot and cold lasers. The gentlest of the bunch is “cold laser” which is more accurately described as a low-level light therapy laser.

The laser used in LLLT for cellulite emits a low-level, non-thermal energy that is designed to penetrate the skin without causing any damage or pain. Most people who undergo cold laser treatment for cellulite experience little to no discomfort.

However, this laser also is not as well studied as a more invasive options. It also requires multiple treatments per week over the course of a few weeks to improve the look of cellulite, and there is no evidence of long-term results.

“Hot lasers'' are high-energy laser treatments that are deeper penetrating and more targeted, and include treatments like laser skin tightening, which heats the skin on a deeper level. Hot lasers can stimulate collagen production, resulting in tighter and smoother skin. While there can be some redness and discomfort during treatment, it usually subsides soon after. Cellulaze is also a hot laser treatment, but the difference is that it’s more surgical since the laser is actually inserted under the skin.

Evertone’s Anti-Cellulite Routine 

Ultimately, we don’t think laser treatments are ideal for dealing with cellulite. While low-level light lasers are probably safe, we don’t think their results are dramatic enough to merit the costs and effort. High-energy treatments like Cellulaze might be more effective, but they’re expensive as well, and the risks are a little too high.

FAQ: for Laser Treatment for Cellulite 

Is Cellulite Laser Treatment a Permanent Solution for Cellulite?

The answer to this is largely unknown. In research, follow-ups with laser treatments usually only happen a few months or up to a year after treatment, so whether the results will last is unclear. 

How Soon can I See the Results After Cellulite Laser Treatment?

This depends on the type of laser treatment, but generally, results take a few months after the final treatment to show. In other words, it’s definitely not a procedure that offers instant gratification. Non-invasive cellulite treatments usually also require multiple treatments before any results will show, while more invasive ones like Cellulaze might only require one treatment. 

Research shows that results from Acoustic Wave Therapy can be maintained for at least a year, although there is no research on how long the results can last beyond that. The best way to maintain the treatment results is through a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper skincare.
