Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite is not a problem with an instant solution. The best solution for cellulite removal is to control your diet and to exercise on a regular basis. There are various over the counter creams, pills, gels and lotions that claim to help in removal of cellulite. However as cellulite is rather stubborn, they may be ineffective; instead there are various cellulite treatments that could be tried.

Liposuction of cellulite is a rather effective surgical treatment where fat deposits found between the skin and muscle are removed. It is carried out under general anaesthesia using a cannula that is connected to a suction pump. Small incisions are made on the skin for inserting the cannula and the suction of fat layers.

Another treatment for cellulite is massaging of the affected areas using rollers of an endermologie machine. Fat molecules get gently suctioned and water is expelled from the body while encased in a huge stocking.

Micro massaging is a promising form of anti-cellulite treatment where cellulite hosiery massages you while wearing it. This improves circulation and lymphatic drainage while reducing cellulite, toning muscles and making skin look firm.

With lymphatic drainage massage, the body's lymphatic system is increased to help remove waste, excess fluids and toxins from the body and prevent fluids from solidifying and binding with collagen fibers of fat cells.

Heat and water treatments manifested through saunas, hydrotherapy and steam baths are also effective in cellulite removal as it brings toxins to the skin surface for easier excretion. These treatments also encourage weight loss and lymph flow to control the formation of cellulite.

A new concept of cellulite removal, the Vibratory Endermatic System helps in the circulation of blood in the body while stretching the connective fibers. This in turn reduces skin dimpling without damaging elastin skin layers. With this cellulite treatment, there is no harm to collagen or subcutaneous tissue while results are more specific.

Cellulite patches have Celidium cartilagineum which helps in the conversion of fat into energy and is used like a sticking plaster. This cellulite treatment has been said to produce good results in reducing stubborn cases of cellulite.

The ionithermie treatment is considered one of the best cellulite treatments today as it helps remove cellulite, improves skin and muscle tone. In the process, it helps in the detoxification of the body while increasing energy and metabolic levels.

Mesotherapy is a cellulite treatment where cellulite reducing medication is injected into the skin of the problematic area with the help of needles. However for best effects, this procedure has to be carried out 10 - 15 times.

There are new therapies that are still in the trial process and need some time to surface. They are the jet therapy which breaks fat cells by blowing compressed air into the skin and the gene therapy which is thought to be the best treatment so far as the cellulite causing gene of the body is engineered to follow some other pattern.

However, one of the best ways thought to fight cellulite is to drink lots of water, follow a healthy diet with more of fresh fruits and vegetables and to avoid smoking. Also avoid unnecessary medication, relax and distress, and to have a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise every day.
