HoneyBelle Body Buffer

The Spiel: Inspired by a tool used to soothe inflamed skin post-procedure, Nancy Donahue, a former cover model and triathlete, together with a band of MIT and Harvard engineers, set about adapting the therapy for home use. Together, this anti-dimple dream team developed a gadget that looks awfully similar to an orbital car buffer and is said to ease achy muscles while diminishing skin’s orange peel appearance. Just buff problems areas for five minutes twice daily. There's even a babyBelle travel version that can easily be toted to the gym or on your travels.

Firming Factor: “This is similar to those popular endermologie treatments,” says Schultz. “You’d need constant maintenance, but if you massage cellulite enough there’s reason to believe you’ll break up some septae and rearrange fat cells.”
