Check out the thread on the Pose. Some people had good results on the stomach with lax skin.

If price is not a serious issue, then one top-notch device I've heard of is the "WellBox":

It's a massage-type device, but it is very expensive!

Yes, price is an issue for me, too, and similarly, the WellBox is so far out of my price range that it's not even funny! But I didn't want to make any assumptions, and maybe someone else on here with the money will want it... Anyways, this is a great idea for a thread, and I hope others will post good suggestions Smile

Also, if you widen your definition of "tools", another thing to consider is self-massage. One popular one that I like is Carole Maggio's No Lipo Lipo. It's a knuckle-based massage that supposed to break down cellulite, and there's a thread on it on EDS at http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=34409.

My experience is that it does work, but only over long periods of time (a few weeks to months) of solid commitment, and not quite as dramatic as the "before and afters" on the website.

When money is an issue....and honestly it is for most of us, I look to Craigslist or ebay(I'm in the USA). I bought a Wellbox off of craigslist for 150.00...perfect condition. I also bought an aeropilates that sells for 400-800 dollars for 150.00 on craigslist. I highly recommend the aeropilates for toning up the body like nothing else I have ever done. It really makes a difference with cellulite on the lower body areas because of the rebounding aspects(totally different from the standing rebounders)

The big reason I mention the aeropilates is the rebounding does a major job on lymph drainage in the body and that helps rid one of cellulite.
I can do hours at the gym and even do the Zumba classes and see no difference but when I do the cardio rebounding on pilates the thighs look way difference....mind you...it has to be on going to keep the better look. As far as the Pose and the Stop, I really like both of these gadgets and if I had all the time in the world I would be doing them on a continuous bases. But if I have 20 min. and need to chose the best for my time it would be aeropilates....cardio benefit,toning benefit, and dealing with cellulite....all at the same time. Skincarecare,the pose is effective to diminish cellulite but it takes a lot of time for the treatments....even though I am petite the thigh area takes forever with the small head on the unit and also it takes time getting the skin surface warmed up. And for heaven sakes there are two thighs to do Laughing

Since you are having skin issues that are from a medical condition I would contact the company for the Stop and Pose and get their advice.

Hi Everyone

Another way to promote lymph drainage and tighten body skin is simply stand on your toes and DROP your heels to floor. Hold onto the back of a chair or whatever is handy and do it as FAST and dropping as HARD as is comfortable to do. Not only will it kick-in the lymph's but your calves will begin to build giving at least the lower part of the leg a younger firmer look. Do as many reps at one time as your calves can stand. BTW this is also great for maintaining bone. Smile

Wow, this is really interesting. How often can this be done? Also, does this affect the skin everywhere, or just the legs?

Hi There

Do it everyday.. It affects the entire body and skeletal structure Smile
