Cellulite grading scale and skin fold caliper was measured for each patient before and after treatment. Results: T-test revealed that there was a significant difference (p= 0.0000) between experimental and control group in skin fold (mm) post treatment as well as in the cellulite grading scale post treatment. Conclusion: Gallium Arsenide Low Level Laser Therapy is efficient for cellulite reduction after liposuction
