Actually, laser treatments such as SmoothShapes can help reduce cellulite, as can medications. It is considered a medical condition, but though weight loss can help them to not show as much, it will not make them go away.

Yeah, minimizing is more the name of the game.

Deep tissue massage to help break up the cellulite, and exercises targeted at the problem areas to burn it. I don't think body fat has as much to do with it in some people, because I've always been under 100 pounds and have had to deal with cellulite before.

I don't think you guys understand what cellulite is and that you can't get rid of it. Cellulite is caused by irregular length of collagen protein fibers that connect the skin to the subcutaneous fat and muscles. The collagen protein fibers may be longer in some areas and shorter in others. The areas where the protein fibers are shorter pull the skin inward to make the dimpled appearance of the cellulite. Whether or not someone has cellulite is a genetic trait and its present in varying degrees within 90% of the female population. Because cellulite is a genetic trait it is not tied to weight and often very fit and skinny people will still have it since it is caused by a structural trait of the connective tissue that anchors the dermal tissue to the region underneath it. The only way to get rid of cellulite is laser treatment to alter the texture of the collagen fibers below the skin. I wouldn't worry about it much since 90% of the population has it. Don't bother comparing yourself to models since many of them probably have cellulite too and they just get it airbrushed out.
