A Sales Pitch More Than Anything Else!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
If I had known that the purpose of this book was to sell MesoTherapy services, I would not have purchased it. The before and after photos look impressive. Having had first-hand experience with mesotherapy, it is my opinion that the results portrayed are not typical. Also, mesotherapy does not work well for people who have previously had liposuction. If you are interested in investing in mesotherapy, proceed with caution and be sure to obtain references that you can speak directly with. Do not rely on photos exclusively.

The only cellulite book you need to buy,
By Elizabeth B. (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
Forget all the other books, the creams, the lotions, the false promises. This book is the only one you need to buy. It gives it to you straight. You're not going to get rid of your cellulite without the help of mesotherapy. How do I know? Because I HAD it. Cellulite that is as well as Mesotherapy the greatest miracle since I don't know what. It's not to say you can't diminish the orange peel or the look of it, but it's only going to be temporary. Dr. B gives some tips that will help and yes, he even has a cream. It can be used alone but really, it's the bomb when used along w/the meso. (Mee-so....sounds like the soup but it's not). The book will explain what to expect. The before and afters are awesome and there are great little comics that help you laugh at the whole thing. B/c who hasn't hid in fitting rooms, bedrooms, on the beach just to avoid exposing our hideous dimples. You have to laugh and you'll find out that you are not alone. If you're serious about doing something, this is a great place to start.

The Cellulite Cure- opinion of book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
The Cellulite Cure by Lionel Bissoon is a well written, very informative book. However, I feel the author could have done better. The synopsis of the book is this: the cure to cellulite is through a series of injections called mesotherapy.
Before purchasing this book I have had some mesotherapy injections to remove my cellulite. It does work, but it takes time. I had three sessions done on the back of my thighs and buttocks. My legs look a little better, but my butt needs extra attention ;-) Bissoon did offer me hope that diet and physical activity does play a significant role (the cosmetic surgeon who performed my mesotherapy said diet has no effect). Bissoon gave me new hope and I will follow his tips in the book and continue to get more mesotherapy in the future. I am giving this book a four because overall, I thought Bissoon did a good job in that he gave very clear explanations of what is, and what causes cellulite, but I already knew that. He has a chapter on the anti-cellulite diet, but there is no diet. He shows photos of Amazonian women from all different ages who are cellulite free. His theory is because they eat whole, natural foods-nothing processed. He gives one page in which it lists 10 cellulite prevention recommendations; they are as follows: 1. Decrease the amount of sugar and refined sugar in your diet 2. Increase your consumption of leafy green vegetables 3. Increase your consumption of fish as a source of protein 4. Consume as many cruciferous vegetables as possible 5. Eat a diet high in soy content 6. Eat as much organic food as possible 7. Decrease your consumption of red meat 8. Exercise 20-25 minutes every other day 9. Take the stairs instead of using elevators 10. Whenever possible, walk instead of driving A downside of this book is that it offers nothing on exercise. I was hoping Bissoon would have a chapter illustrating some of the best exercises to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but there wasn't one. In conclusion, the positives of this book is it is clear, well-written, and easy to read, the photos are wonderful, and the tips are good. the negative is he could have given specific exercises, cellulite massage tips- since lack of circulation is one of the causes of cellulite. He could have listd foods which combat cellulite (as Dr. Murad has). I have since sold my copy of this book and am now looking for a cellulite prevention book which focuses more on diet, exercise, and circulation/stretching to reduce cellulite. Mesotherapy does work and I do recommend it, but diet and exercise can prevent future cellulite accumulation which is what I'm more interested in learning about.

A cure for all wrinkles, great for your face too !,
By John Aslanian "Health & Beauty Consultant" (NEW YORK, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
Not only is this a miracle cure for cellulite but it actually is extremely effective for facial wrinkles and loose skin. I know. I have experienced Mesotherapy first hand. Whats great about it is it utilizes all natural substances and brings the vital nutrients and amino acids that the face is starving for. Thank you Dr Bisoon for bringing what was once the secret and exclusive treatments of the rich and famous French women. They have been using it for over 50 years. However he has taken it to a whole new level with his own proprietary formulas. A must read for anyone considering any facial rejuvenation or skin issues. Great natural alternative.

The Cellulite Cure,
By
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
THIS BOOK IS THE REAL THING!!! As soon as I received it I glanced at the pictures and "I was amazed"...The book is so interesting that I couldn't stop reading it, I read it all in one day...I could relate to every single testimonials on this book and that is just why I had to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bissoon. I went to Dr. Bissoon's office thinking that I would be meeting with one of his technicians "WRONG" I saw Dr. Bissoon himself, he took the time to explain the process in detail, took my pictures and answered all my questions. That made me feel very SPECIAL...Believe it or not, that's something that he does with ALL his patients WOW!!!... So, NOW I'm one of his many HAPPY patients;-) THANK YOU!!! DR. BISSOON FOR GIVING US HOPE

Read the Book, Got the Treatments,
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
I love to see dramatic results. And who doesn't want to get rid of their pesky cellulite, especially now that it's summer and those without it are cavorting about. In the Cellulite Cure you see those incredible results from people who had little hope of wearing shorts or even letting their legs be SEEN in public. What I like about it is it's a no nonsense tour of the history of cellulite, the causes and prevention, and ultimately, the cure.
Unlike the other cellulite books on the market this one is written by the foremost authority in the U.S. on the subject. Dr. Lionel Bissoon brought the cellulite cure from France to the U.S. His consistent results are a combination of both his technique and his proprietary solutions--which many have tried to copy. He's had success with hundreds of ordinary men and women as well as celebrities. (Yes, men get cellulite too as I learned in the book! Who knew?). What I was most interested in was getting rid of my saddlebags and rejuvenating my face. I'm 51 so those sagging jowls, droopy eyelids and the beginning of a double chin, made me look just plain tired. I wanted to look as joyful, vibrant and radiant as I feel. So when I went in for a treatment for my face Dr. Bissoon used Mesotherapy, to inject a combination of vitamins, minerals and homeopathy under the "meso" or middle layer of the skin. Oh, and did I mention that my saddlebags are gone? All thanks to Dr. Bissoon. And BTW I haven't used Western medicine in 30 years so I didn't want anything fake or harmful put into my system or under my skin. I also loved the fact that the treatments are GOOD for me and stimulate my own collagen so instead of aging I'm getting more youthful. Anyway, reading the book got me interested in how French women maintain their sleek figures and gorgeous good looks. The secret? Mesotherapy. They start getting these face and body treatments in their 30s so their cellulite diminishes and their wrinkles fade. But if you're like me (well past 30) you can still have cellulite (and saddlebag) free legs, buttocks, stomach, arms etc. and get the youthful overall glow the French women are so famous for. Plus, you don't need to be famous or a celebrity to look just as good.

Finally something perfect!!!,
By Guldal Caba, PhD., NMD "anti aging expert" (Ohio, Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
As a naturopath working with women to prevent aging and increase vitality i am thrilled there is finally something that is natural and that really works. Cellulite and loose skin have always been the most important issue my patients present me with, now i just hand them this incredible book written by Dr. Bissoon and have them read it. Not only is the quality of this book something we never see anymore, the pictures, the ideas, and his devotion to the subject are powerful.
The book contains proof that CELLULITE MISERY can be and is a thing of the past. Not only do I have my patients read his book I send them to see him. Most importantly my personal experience speaks for itself. I am a very happy patient. For those of us who have hidden from mirrors, the beach, and dressing rooms it is time for us to go into recovery and come out of the closet!!! I am happily recovered and currently enjoy showing much skin. Thank you Dr. Lionel Bissoon. As if that were not enough his treatment of the face and his special magic potion cream for face and the body are liquid gold. That is the name my patients use when referring to this wonderful cream. Buy the book, order the cream, and change your life.

FAREWELL, CELLULITE!,
By Nicole (Manhattan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
I am blown away by this book. Dr. Bissoon has single-handedly compiled a how-to manual for eliminating and preventing cellulite. Written by a physician, this book explores and explains the technical side to cellulite in an easy-to-understand way. It is comprehensive, thorough, and practical -- it goes so far as to include a cellulite prevention diet, as well as telling you what type of underwear to avoid! Intelligent advice abounds amidst humorous illustrations and an extensive assemblage of helpful, explanatory photographs. It is a MUST-READ for anyone with cellulite, worried about cellulite, curious about cellulite, or anyone who wants to prevent it. I can't say enough good things about how useful it is and how much it has helped me!!!

I am a believer!!,

This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
Here goes. I decided to try Smart Lipo as I heard it reduced fat, tightened skin and as a bonus helped with the overall appearance of Cellulite. That underlying problem for 90% of us women out there. After having a poor result and being left with a substantial amount of cellulite. I sought out the internet for help. After several hours I was referred to Dr. Lionel Bissoon's website. I sent their office an email and purchased the book. Within a few hours, honestly my prayers were answered. I have had opportunity to read the book and have started Dr. Bissoon's Mesotherapy treatments. Honestly, women you do not have to live another day with the low self-esteem and shame that we carry around with us when we don a bikini or heck even get intimate. I am amazed by the results!! Both from the enormous amount of information contained inside the book and most of all from Dr. Bissoon. YOU ARE MY MIRACLE! And I thank you. Natalie Moreno The Cellulite Cure (TM)

Best Investment,
By Sasha S. (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cellulite Cure (TM) (Paperback)
When I first got the book, I immediately flipped to the before & after pictures to see the results of past patients and I was surprisingly impressed of the changes within 2 treatments! I read thru the book and realized this was the best option for me because I hated the thought of surgery, anesthesia, recovery time, etc. I made an appt. to see Dr.Bissoon and he was very comforting & reassuring about the results I would see. I was skeptical about my first treatment but was amazed at my results after my 2nd visit! This was the best thing I did for my legs, tummy & love handles. I know I would have NEVER been able to see these results with plastic surgery. I highly recommend reading this book & visiting Dr. Bissoon! Good Luck!
