Proven Treatments for Cellulite Removal

By Sarah B Gould

Getting rid of cellulite is no easy task. One of the main reasons for this is that the fat that causes the skin to dimple on the thighs, buttocks and hips exists at the deepest layer under the skin. This fat is therefore difficult to get to and remove.

There are a range of treatments designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite. The most simple of all of these and probably the most effective is to change your diet. Start eating more healthy foods that are low in fat and sugar, and start to exercise more.

If you really want to ramp up your cellulite removal program then you will need to start using other treatments that directly target the skin and fat. One of the more popular methods is to use a cellulite cream. You should look for a cream with caffeine, theophylline, seaweed and other ingredients with known anti-cellulite properties.

A great option when using a cellulite cream is to use it as lotion to massage the problem areas. The massaging motions will help make the skin and fat more smooth. This will reduce the number of dimples and also increase circulation to the area to help remove the build up of toxins.

Endermologie is a type of massage that is used a lot in day spa environments. With this treatment, a machine gently sucks the skin in order to deeply massage it and the fat beneath. This process is thought to improve circulation to the problem areas, soften the skin and fat, and remove toxins from the fat cells. You will need more than one treatment and maintenance treatments will be needed for to keep your improvements.

Another type of cellulite treatment that you day spa may offer you is Mesotherapy. With this invasive treatment, the beauty technician injections a liquid of supplements and homeopathic medication into the fat. This solution is thought to have anti-cellulite properties to help the body flush out the toxins and reduce the dimples.

Another homeopathic approach is to use herbs and vitamins to treat the condition. There are a number of different products that can help you with this but it is best that you first speak to a naturopath instead of attempting this on your own. Self-treating yourself with herbs and vitamins can be risky.

Liposuction is a surgical option that has been known to get some terrific results. The method involves a slit being made in the skin and a small tube inserted inside to vacuum out the fat. As with any surgical procedure there are risks involved that a qualified plastic surgeon will be able to inform you about.
