One of the latest and most exciting developments in cosmetic surgery is cellulite laser treatment. A number of different groups are currently researching and testing various methods of cellulite laser treatment in order to determine the efficacy of this procedure, especially when used in conjunction with other forms of treatment. Endermologie, for instance, can be combined with cellulite laser treatment, with the laser softening the tissue to be massaged, potentially creating smoother results in less time. Cellulite laser treatment could also be used before or after liposuction, again speeding and improving the effects.

Especially effective is the combination of cellulite laser treatment and roller massage therapy such as Endermologie. These processes used in conjunction appear to trigger the breakdown of subcutaneous fatty tissue. Individuals using cellulite laser treatment and Endermologie are also able to mobilize the body's natural mechanisms to dispose of undesirable byproducts of decomposed fat, such as glycerol and free fatty acids. Cellulite laser treatment, according to experts attending the 2004 meeting of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS), holds much promise.

Although cellulite laser treatment is still in testing phases, the procedure appears to hold great promise for the field of cosmetic surgery. Already cellulite laser treatments are being used in Europe and other parts of the world and physicians report great results. Currently, American patients seeking cellulite laser treatment may qualify to participate in a study, although such opportunities are rare.
