There are a variety of massage devices on the market that claim to reduce cellulite, but not all of them are effective.

Many people use foam rollers — hard, tube-shaped pieces of foam — with the hope that they can break up fat. But according to the American Council on Exercise, foam rollers won’t do anything to improve the appearance of cellulite.

There’s also no substantial proof that things like handheld vibrating massagers or dry brushing — brushing your dry skin with a soft-bristled brush — can do much for cellulite either, especially long term.

One product that does show some promise is endermologie. This FDA-approved device lifts, stretches, and rolls skin to help move fat and reduce cellulite. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), it’s shown mixed results. Even when improvement is noticed, it tends to fade after a month unless treatment is repeated.

Some studies show that certain massage techniques can be beneficial in reducing cellulite, but many of the studies caution that the results are temporary.

• A 2015 study found that dry cupping can encourage the drainage of fluid, toxins, and other chemical byproducts from the body, which may improve the way cellulite looks. In the study, cups were placed over areas with cellulite while a handheld pump created suction. After five weeks of treatment, the women in the study saw their cellulite grade decrease from a mean of 2.4 pre-cupping to 1.68 after cupping.
• Another studyTrusted Source from 2010 looked at what effects mechanical massage, a massage using a machine, such as endermologie; lymphatic drainage massage, a type of massage that uses light pressure to help the lymphatic system drain fluids, debris, and toxins; and connective tissue manipulation (CTM) had on cellulite. CTM is a type of massage to improve circulation that applies pressure to the ligaments, tendons, and tissues that connect muscle to skin. All three techniques were effective in decreasing fat and the circumference of the thigh where the massage was performed.
