COLUMBUS, Ohio --
There is a brand-new treatment for cellulite, and a Columbus doctor is performing the fat-zapping procedure.
First, let's review the cottage cheese culprit.
Cellulite ... the word alone will bring a scowl to many a face. Even those who hit the gym and walk the line in their diets can be haunted by it.
It's the fatty deposit that causes an uneven, dimpled appearance in the skin, usually around the hips and thighs.
For generations, even centuries, we've tried to get rid of it, smooth it, suck it out, melt it off and even sweat it out.
Women, especially, are plagued by cellulite.
"I've always had heavier legs. In high school, I used to wear trash bags around my legs to try to sweat them off ... I've always been self-conscious of my legs," said Pam Meige, a 52-year-old mother of two boys who is thin and works out.
Most women understand exactly what Meige is talking about. Cellulite can creep up on our legs, bottom, tummy and arms, and no one is really immune.
"I do exercise. I ride my bike. I walk, and that's one area of our body -- cellulite -- that you can't exercise off," said Meige.
