How can we get rid of cellulite? Well, technically you can't get rid of it, you can just diminish its appearance. Remedies such as topical solutions, dietary supplements, deep tissue massage and lasers are all available to reduce the orange peel look on the stomach, hips, buttocks and thighs.
Laser and laser like treatments such as the SmoothShapes™ and VelaShape™ use varying forms of light energy with mechanical massage and suction to manipulate the fat cells and surrounding tissues. The fat is denatured or even destroyed by the thermal energy of the light and the massage and suction moves the byproduct away from the area to be flushed out of the body through the natural elimination systems. 4-8 treatments are needed to begin with and then a continuation of sessions are required to keep up the smooth cottage cheese free look.
Endermologie® is similar to laser and laser like therapy without the use of light energy. Mechanical massage and suction maneuver the fat cells and tissue to release excess fluids and trigger circulation. At least 15-30 sessions are required at weekly or biweekly intervals with monthly maintenance for up keep. Mesotherapy is a series of microinjections into areas of fatty deposits. The solutions used are a mixture of medications, vitamins and plant extracts that when combined will break down subcutaneous fat. Approximately six sessions are needed for beneficial results.
Topical creams will also reduce the appearance of cellulite. Ingredients like caffeine, cayenne pepper, forskolin and chocolate have been known to initiate fat cell reduction and circulatory stimulation when applied to the skin. Results are usually temporary and continuous use is needed to keep skin smooth. Getting rid of cellulite is a never ending battle. While it can be reduced there has yet to be that one ideal way to give us those legs free of lumps and dimples. |
