Those ugly bumps on your backside, or those sudden dimples that appeared after your first pregnancy. Perhaps it was the weight gain, or stress, or hormones. Whatever their cause, no one likes having cellulite. Getting rid of cellulite is something every woman wishes they could do. We buy creams and lotions, all in the hopes that there is a magic potion that will rid of us of this awful skin curse. Unfortunately there is no way to totally remove cellulite, but there are a number of devices and treatments now available to help diminish the appearance of cellulite and remove it, at least temporarily. These exciting new treatments are often done during a lunch break, and may not require any downtime.

Call today to book a consultation to come in and discuss your options and goals for improving cellulite. Often you may be able to receive treatment the same day.

I have had age spots for as long as I can remember. One visit to Dr. Shamban's office and my skin never looked so good, so smooth and naturally beautiful. I have returned for the Thermage, which tightens my skin, botox that I will never live without now. No more wrinkles on my forhead. I feel refreshed and rested looking all the time. Thank you so very much, Tracy

Treatment Tips
Always seek treatment with an experienced physician.
Be willing to travel a bit for the best possible treatment.
During your consultation, ask questions regarding results, concerns, and after care.
Cellulite is not well-understood by many cosmetic physicians, let alone the medical profession at large. We have assembled some of the field’s leading researchers to provide you information you can trust regarding cellulite removal and the condition in general. The Patient’s Guide is published to give those with the condition a place where they can find physician-written information from industry experts.
