A method and device is taught to improve the appearance of cellulite by combining mild exfoliation of the skin, various wavelengths of low level light, ultrasound, and a vacuum or suction. The device is intended to increase the metabolic rate of the fat cells and reduce their size, while increasing the extensibility or length of the septae. Such increased activity will promote blood flow to the affected area thereby increasing cell nutrients and removing cellular exudates while stimulating the growth of new collagen thereby alleviating the cellulite.

A number of portable anti-cellulite massage devices are disclosed, where the devices are handheld and have four massage rollers which each rotate upon motor-driven eccentric axles to produce synchronized motion. All four rollers produce a percussive massage force in two orthogonal directions at their contact regions with the massage-receiving surface. Each roller has a gripping surface and a slip torque mechanism which allows the roller to partially slip upon its axle during its eccentric rotation cycle. Pairs of rollers rotate eccentrically in opposing directions to produce cyclic stretching and compression forces in the plane of the massage-receiving surface. In one operating mode, the devices produce alternating rising and collapsing skin folds while being traversed along the massage-receiving surface. In an alternate operating mode, the devices may be held stationary to treat a target fascial region by alternately raising a skin fold and then flattening it.
