There are hundreds of anti-cellulite products on the market and with summer on our doorsteps, it's time to put the dimples behind you.
Three women in search of a cellulite cure have dared to bare all in order to put three different remedies to the test. We visited them over a three-week period to find out how effective their treatments were.
22-year-old mum Lisa tried the Bella Bodies Capri Anti-Cellulite pants: $65.00

They use a built-in weave that massages the cellulite.
Results:
"When the pants are on they feel quite slimming... they tuck everything in," Lisa says.
"I would definitely opt for the gym over the pants. I feel the gym would get me a better result and I do feel better all over when I go to the gym."
Stay-at-home mum Marisa barely has any time for herself. She'll be rubbing on the Garnier Body Tonic Cellulite Firming Gel: $13

Results:
"It did feel nice and smooth on the skin and it felt like it was doing something. But after the last couple of weeks I haven't seen any results," she says.
Donna juggles work and motherhood and admits the dimples do bother her. She'll visit the Skinmedics Clinic in Sydney to trial the latest technology in anti-cellulite reduction using infrared heat and compression. A course of six treatments costs $1200.

Results:
"I feel firmer [but] the cellulite is still visable. I do feel a lot better after the treatments and I have quite a lot of weight loss as well," she says.
Dr Kerryn Phelps warns women that price doesn't always equal results when it comes to cellulite treatments.
"I think people should be very suspicious of anything that claims to cure cellulite," she says.
"Women who want to reduce their cellulite need to look at their total body. They need to look at their whole lifestyle… eat better, exercise more — there is no magical cure to cellulite."
