If you've been waiting for the quick fix of cellulite treatment then your time looks like it may have arrived my friend.
It seems that as quickly and easily it is to get your eyes in tip top 20/20 shape, it's just as easy with the new technique of laser surgery for cellulite removal.
Yes maam, how happy are you to hear this glorious news?
What's more, the "FEL", or free-electron-laser will very likely be used to blast away acne as well in the next couple of years.
Here's what is happening so far though. The FEL beam can be produced very specificly, to heat and break down fat tissue, without damaging other body tissue.
In an article in The Times (Online) by Sam Lister, the good news on the new cellulite treatment was stated like this:
"Using the FEL, which is much more powerful than a conventional laser, the scientists were able to choose selected laser wavelengths that could heat up the fat, which was then broken down and excreted by the body".
Another huge benefit will be when the technique will be used to break down plaque in arteries. In fact, the cellulite removal
may be the secondary benefit in the grander scheme of it all don't you think.
Before you get excited however, it looks like this treatment won't be hitting the local strip malls just yet. It's being successfully tested on pig fat (not a bad place to start actually).
But, don't fret. There's still a lot that you can do to treat cellulite on your own. Not as easy as zapping it away, but hey, you appreciate more what you actually have to work for.
