Reducing the appearance of cellulite is one of the toughest goals to achieve in skin care. Millions of creams, treatments and lotions have been tried over the years, only to fail to make a dent in those unsightly dimples on our skin. Fortunately researchers have been hard at work on the tricky problem of cellulite. A number of new treatments are now available which target cellulite. Some use lasers to heat up the underlying skin, others use a form of mechanical message, while still other treatments aim to improve cellulite with radiofrequency energy. A number of new devices utilize a combination of all the above in an effort to improve cellulite as much as possible. Nothing yet is the perfect cure for cellulite, but these new technologies are often able to improve the appearance of it.
It’s important to understand the limitations of treating cellulite. If you go out looking for a ‘quick fix’, you are setting yourself for disappointment. If you are hoping to reduce the appearance of cellulite on your body, call today to schedule a consultation so a physician may sit down with you and discuss your options for treatment.

Dr. Derick is wonderful. My daughter has severe eczema and I went to Dr. Derick after numerous dissapointing, unsuccesful visits to her pediatrican (& others), and a bad flare up of my daughters eczema. We arrived to a very clean, impressive office, with very polite and professional staff. We were taken into a room where a nurse evaluated my daughter. It did take a while for Dr. Derick to finally get to our room, but once she came in, I was very pleased with the outcome. She was very detailed in her explanation of eczema, and explained more about it than any other doctor had that I met with. She diagnosed my daughter (confirming eczema), and suggested ways in which I could reduce the eczema. Again, at the time of my visit, my daughter had a severe flare up and we didn't know what to do anymore...we were at our wit's end. She gave us a few Rx's, gave us very detailed instructions & "tricks", and by the next day, my daughter's flare up was significantly decreased. I am so pleased with her, and when necessary, I will continue to go back.
