Cellulite is one of those things we would rather do without, but most of us women will have cellulite on some parts of our body. Just to be clear on what cullulite is: Cellulite is a cosmetic condition where the skin of the lower limbs, abdomen, and pelvic region becomes dimpled.
So what can you do to get rid of cellulite?
Here are some the options:
Healthy lifestyle and prevention
Leading a healthy lifestyle is by far the best treatment for cellulite. Here are some things to take care of:
- Have a detoxification treatment regularly; As toxic build-up is one of the main causes of cellulite, it is important to do this at least 3 times a year.
- Drink a lot of water.
- Don’t smoke.
- Do plenty of exercize.
- Have regular massages. Massaging of the parts that are affected by cellulite will help improve blood circulation to those parts and it will also improve the drainage of your lymphatic system, thus preventing further formation of cellulite.
- Reduce stress through yoga and deep breathing. All of the above will help to stimulate the cleansing flow of the lymphatic vessels.
- Be sure to eat a healthy diet. This will help to control and prevent as well as eradicate cellulite.
Liponic Sculpturing
Liponic Sculpturing is a new technique that can reduce cellulite. It is a non-surgical procedure whereby a computer-c0ntrolled machine moves over the skin in rolling and sucking motions. It will improve skin texture, skin appearance and removes the dimples.
Liposuction
Liposuction is the removal of body fat by suction. It has become one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures and can remove unwanted fat and cellulite created by excess localized fat deposits.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a technique that can reduce fat and cellulite by injecting various substances directly into the fat layer of the body. Mesotherapy can eliminate cellulite on the legs and buttocks, breaking down the orange-peel appearance of skin, and producing a smooth contour. It will take about 10-25 sessions to elimnate visible cellulite in most patients.
Hormone balancing
Hormones inbalance can play a role in the formation of cellulite. Recently the injection of Human growth hormone (hGH) has become increasingly popular as a treatment for cellulite and anti-aging. You may have heard of Suzanne Somers, who is taking expensive hGH shots for its anti-aging effects.
However, many practitioners still argue against the use of hGH for cosmetic purposes as there are still significant risks involved with the treatment. Nonetheless, in certain conditions and with the right professional care it can be a consideration.
Anti-cellulite creams
There are many creams available to treat cellulite and opinions differ as to how effective they are. The products feature ingredients such as caffeine, retinol and the antioxidant DMAE that help reduce the appearance of cellulite. I suppose they are worth a try if you want to avoid some of the more invasive treatments described above.
