Question about spider veins and cellulite

[austina]

Hey all.. well I am on my journey here to lose weight and get super fit.. body building style.. I'm currently like 275 right now.. has any body here been at this weight and now has a killer body? I am worried most about loose skin and cellulite. Is there a way to reduce cellulite and spider veins that I have on my butt and thighs? I am not sloppy fat really, the weight is mostly distributed evenly.. my butt is huge though.. lol.. my skin doesn't seem to be floppy and loose though..

any suggestions, stories or what not will help.. i just found this forum so i am gonna check around for some more info.

thanks

I'm gonna be pretty annoyed if this is a prequel post for some cure-all bullshit....

Long story short: spider veins typically are treated by sclerosant, basically scarring the vessels down. The underlying incompetence of the deeper venous system remains, however, and without use of supportive garments constantly, you'll make more. In fact, you'll still make more w compression, but less than you would w/o.

In re: cellulite--good luck. Diet and exercise may help, but good genetics trump all.

There is absolutely NO peer reviewed literature to support success for either of these conditions with lasers, topical therapies, or injectable sludge such as mesotherapy.

HTH.
