Cellulite occurs mostly in women, and even the skinniest women may have cellulite. If you have cellulite and would like to change the appearance of your skin, you have the option of getting surgical procedures (such as liposuction), or you may opt for a few non-invasive cosmetic procedures or creams and lotions. A cellulite treatment that eliminates cellulite for good is not yet available, as the causes of cellulite haven't been discovered.
1. Massage Therapy
There are several types of massage that can be applied on cellulite. The massage will increase blood circulation, reduce the toxins and may diminish the orange peel appearance of the skin. Essential oils can be used to make the massage more pleasurable and effective. Some massage therapists use different anti cellulite creams or natural ingredients that contain herbs that promote the elimination of toxins and improve the tone of the skin. The most common areas that have cellulite are the thighs, knees, hips or stomach.
2. Anti Cellulite Creams and Scrubs
There are many anti cellulite creams that can be used to reduce the appearance of cellulite. These creams may contain natural ingredients such as seaweed, ivy or horsetail as well as other components essential for the skin: vitamin E, coenzyme Q10 or collagen. There are many lotions that contain collagen and may tone the skin, relaxing the connective tissue that causes the orange peel look. Scrubs to reduce the appearance of cellulite are also available. The scrubs will remove the dead skin cells and make the surface of the skin smoother.
3. Exercise
Exercise can reduce the appearance of cellulite. Some studies have shown a link between the lack of exercise and the formation of cellulite. An exercise program that includes two or three 40-minute workout sessions per week should improve the blood circulation, reduce fat tissues and also reduce the amount of cellulite.
4. Anti Cellulite Tights
Anti cellulite tights can be worn at all times; the tights are specially designed to promote blood circulation, which is essential in a cellulite treatment. These tights may also promote weight loss. Wearing uncomfortable, blood restricting tights (or clothes) may stimulate the formation of cellulite.
5. Electrical Pulse Treatment
The electrical pulse therapy works on the same principles as the anti cellulite massage; it will apply pressure aimed at improving the circulation in the areas with cellulite and reduce the adipose tissue. This type of treatment will also firm up and tone the skin.
If you would like to avoid complicated surgeries that involve recovery time and are expensive, you should consider these non-invasive alternatives. They will require no down time and should give satisfactory results. Given that there are no treatments that can eliminate cellulite, the aim of these treatments is to reduce the appearance of the orange peel skin.
