Effective Cellulite Treatments
April 5, 2008 – 7:33 amCellulite is that ‘orange peel’ look that is apparent on the legs, thighs and upper arms of most women as they age. Caused by the storage of fat cells in the subcutaneous tissue and the subsequent pushing of fat against the skin from microcirculatory changes, which cause an increase in fluid retention. Alternative cellulite treatments offer women non-invasive options outside of the doctor’s office and hospital.
Cellulite is so common that it is estimated that 90% of women develop cellulite at some stage in their lives. From early adolescence onwards, but particularly as women get older, cellulite can be problematic. In today’s society where great value is placed on having a ‘perfect’ body, it has become very important for women to find a treatment that will get rid of their cellulite so that they have the confidence to show their skin in public.
Ionithermie detox treatment has proven to be an effective anti cellulite procedure. The process involves electrical stimulation, micronized algae and conductive clay. Results can be seen after the first treatment but multiple treatments are recommended.
Another alternative cellulite treatment that is available is the Synergie cellulite reduction, which uses an FDA approved machine for the reduction of cellulite in a non-invasive technique. In a recent study 100% of women who participated noted a loss of inches from their bodyies and 90% had visible improvements in the smoothness of their skin.
There are also at home alternative cellulite treatments and techniques. These techniques are not new age or require the use of a doctor’s prescription. Herbs used in cooking are thought to have antioxidant qualities to reduce cellulite such as Cayenne pepper, juniper berries, black pepper extract, ginger, grape seed, garlic, peppermint tea.
Body brushing is another way that you can treat your cellulite at home. Dry body brushing stimulates the lymphatic system and combined with drinking lots of water and eating healthily can be very effective in eliminating cellulite. Use a brush with natural bristles and brush the affected areas before showering to improve circulation.
Losing weight can help to improve the appearance of cellulite as it reduces the fat cells underneath the skin. This will not always help as thin people get cellulite too, but if you are suffering from weight problems then weight loss should help. Cutting out junk food and drinking more water should not only help you to lose weight, but should help you to achieve smoother, healthier looking skin as well.
There are many other options for treating cellulite and it is important to do your research before embarking on a course of treatment. Anti cellulite treatments can be expensive and although many are non surgical they can still take a lot of time and effort.
