ALICIA’S

THOUGHTS:

I was always

self-conscious

about my

lumpy thighs

and exercise

didn’t help

improve their

appearance, so I gave the celeb-loved FasciaBlaster a try. I used

it nightly following a hot shower. After prepping my legs with

the blaster oil, I’d rub the tool back and forth along my thighs for

20 minutes. It was painful the first few times and left my legs

bruised, but after two weeks of the treatment, my thighs were

noticeably smoother! I’m ecstatic and finally feel confident

enough to wear short skirts again.

MARISSA’S

THOUGHTS:

I was skeptical

about a manual

cellulite service that

could remove

dimpling, but

Fatima Zegrani at

the Martine de Richeville spa in NYC proved me wrong! For 50

minutes, she pinched my entire naked body in a technique called

Remodelage. The pain is similar to that of a deep-tissue massage

— but the results are entirely different. Immediately I saw

smoother, more radiant skin from head to toe, and the results

lasted about 72 hours! It turned me into a believer — I would

100 percent go back for a quick fix.

CAITLIN’S

THOUGHTS:

I had two deep

dimples on my

backside that

bummed me

out (pun

intended). I

went to Dr. Arash Akhavan to get rid of them. The worst part of

the procedure was the prep. The numbing solution took 30

minutes to inject and stung as it took effect. Once the skin was

numb, Dr. Akhavan cut the connective bands in four spots —

two on my buttocks and one on each thigh, which took less

than 20 minutes. Two months out (with a summer tan), I’m

thrilled with the sleeker look, which will continue to improve

over time as the skin bounces back. Bootylicious indeed!
