Special Report: Cellulite bike

Darlene Gunning, Cellulite Pod user
I just started noticing that gravity was starting to take effect and just starting to notice a little bit more dimples.

90 percent of women over 30 have cellulite, the dreaded lumpy, bumpy look. And many of the remedies on the market offer minimal results.

And I tried those and the cellulite was still there.

But now there's a "new bike" that promises real rippling relief. It's called the Cellulite pod and it's a high tech chamber that uses inferred light and a bike to increase circulation and collagen production .

The inferred light heats up the skin, it actually penetrates up to two inches into the skin where the cellulite resides.

Jim Taylor of cellulite pod says the painless workout takes about 40 minutes and after four or five sessions you'll see a difference in your dimples.

And in combination with drinking lots of water and a sensible diet, we see a tremendous loss of cellulite and loss of inches.

And maker's say you don't have to be a woman to see results!

I've noticed a dramatic loss in basically the fat I carry around the stomach.

Dr. Michael Kaminer, Skincare Physicians of Chestnut Hill
I think the cellulite bike is preying on hopes.

Dermatological Surgeon Dr. Michael Kaminer is skeptical.

There is some new research that shows that infrared light does something to the skin, I just don't know that we know exactly what it does, and it's a huge leap of faith to say that it helps cellulite.

But still, Darlene is sticking with cycling.

Darlene Gunning, Cellulite Pod user
I've been using it, and I can see the difference, so it is working.

Experts say it's important to keep up with the treatments to keep the cellulite off.

The Cellulite pod should be available in the Boston area in a few months. A workout costs about $50 a treatment.
