Mechanical treatments of
cellulite are effective – although once again the problem
will recur if the treatments are not continued. Massage
works in much the same way as many of the creams available
by stimulating circulation of both the blood and lymph.
Another procedure, available in salons and health clubs,
involves having the affected areas pressed by what is
effectively a giant rolling pin. This latter mechanical
treatment is expensive, painful and can lead to bruising so
is not for the faint hearted.
There are a number of
treatments offered that are taken by mouth and extra special
care must be taken to examine the labels of these to ensure
there are no substances included that might react with any
medications that may have been prescribed for other health
related conditions.
The problem with many of the
treatments offered is the lack of real scientific proof of
their efficacy. |

There is also no proof to
say that the products do not work. Every individual has a
slightly different physiology and it is often worth trying
treatments – even if they have not worked for others – personal
recommendation is not always a good thing on which to base a
purchasing decision.
Most cellulite treatments that
are commercially available are relatively ‘young’ and have not
yet been tested over time – for this reason it is important to
proceed with caution, especially when considering any remedy
that is to be taken internally or which is to be absorbed
through the skin.
Whilst it is tempting to be the
first to try new products, it is often advisable to wait until
there are product reviews available. There is no reason why you
should not banish your cellulite provided you are willing to do
the work and are not expecting, at the moment, to find a magic
pill or potion that will do it for you.
