Cellulite treatment
– Finding out an effective option and what are its benefits. Know more about
the various ingredients that can ward off cellulites.
Cellulite is fat that is caught between bands of connective
tissue directly beneath the skin that creates a lumpy, bumpy orange peel
appearance mostly on the hips, thighs and backsides of most women. While not life threatening, it is ugly,
unsightly and embarrassing if you're the one that has it.
Because cellulite is primarily caused by fat, reducing the
body's fat content by creating a caloric deficit either by eating less or
exercising is the first step for reducing cellulite. However, diet and exercise
do not always give women (and some men) the results that they're looking for.
This is where treatment options come in.
Cellulite is located right beneath the skin which is why
many cellulite treatment options involve -treating the fat, -relaxing the bands
of connective tissue and -proper skincare. Treating the fat involves both
aerobic and anaerobic (muscle conditioning) exercises and proper diet with some
caloric restrictions as mentioned above.
There are two treatments that are purported to minimize
cellulite by relaxing the bands of connective tissue that "hold" the
fat. One is called Endermologie and the other is called VelaSmooth.
Endermologie is usually performed in a plastic surgeon or cosmetic
dermatologist's office. It uses a motorized device that that has 2 adjustable
rollers with suction that creates smooth and regulated deep tissue
mobilization. In order for it to be effective, the client must have several
consecutive treatments and then follow up treatments for maintenance. The
results are often visible somewhat quickly but are temporary if maintenance
isn't done.
VelaSmooth is the newest technology in the realm of
cellulite treatments. It uses both infrared red light and radio frequency waves
to relax the bands of connective tissue that trap fat and make it appear bumpy.
It's non-invasive and must be done twice a week for 5 weeks and then monthly.
The initial results of VelaSmooth are very promising.
Proper skincare in the cellulite prone areas can reduce it's
appearance. There are a number of cellulite creams, gels and lotions that work
temporarily to varying degrees. It's important to use these topical treatments
as directed. It's also important to make sure that the cream or gel is massaged
in well in order to stimulate circulation. Some of these products work better
than others so it's a matter of trial and error as well as persistence for
topical treatments to work effectively. Learn more about home remedies forcellulite
