Cellulite
Treatments
You can identify whether a person has cellulite
by pinching an area of skin tissue. If the skin dimples or has a
rippling appearance similar to orange peel, then they probably
have it. Cellulite is also a lot more noticeable when the skin
is cold.
The build-up of cellulite can be reduced by a healthy
diet and exercise. Keeping the body well hydrated
and avoiding an excess of alcohol and coffee are a strong
recommendation as these are among the worst offenders for
causing cellulite.

Smoking and diuretic pills, laxative and diet
pills also enhance the likelihood of developing cellulite
when taken on a regular basis. Salt should also be kept to a
bare minimum due to the fact it causes water retention.
Exercise is also the key for good condition and the fight
against cellulite problems. A good exercise regime is
probably half the battle when fighting cellulite.
Most topical applications obtainable on the
market do not exclusively treat cellulite although they
create a smoother texture by making the skin look plumper
and smoother. This effect is only temporary however and it
will require you to use constant applications of creams and
potions to keep up the effects. This can prove costly and
time consuming.
The dimpling effect of cellulite can be reduced
by using creams which contain Aminophylline. |

This is a
bronchodilator that causes a chemical reaction which enables the
fat cells to be changed into fatty acids which are able to slide
through the walls of the cells into the bloodstream. These
creams should be used quickly and sparingly and also kept away
from heat.

The skin’s quality can also be improved by
retinols and Alpha Hydroxy Acids which are found in some
lotions. The elimination of the surface layer of dead skin
cells can be speeded up by using cellulite lotions
containing lactic acid and glycolic acid. This method is
increasingly being used to fight cellulite problems in many
beauty salons, however they come at a price.
Creams to treat cellulite also contain
Vitamin A derivatives or Retinoids which are applied at
night time since daylight destroys Retinol. Although it is
debated whether Retinol is efficient at removing cellulite,
it is also used to improve the skin’s circulation and
softness. Certain anti cellulite lotions contain caffeine
and some now also contain herbs which improve the skin’s
texture and tone.

Some beauty salons advise their
customers to wear a particular line of pantyhose and
panties made from an unusual mesh fabric.

These products are also supposed to provide a
flattering exercise to the skin and adipose tissue by
complimenting the body’s movements. This exercise is supposed to
stimulate microcirculation allowing the fluids in the tissue to
be drained. However this can be open to some interpretation.
There are also massage and rollers available that use the same
principle. Although these methods do not remedy the underlying
cause of cellulite, they reduce the appearance of it for
cosmetic relief. However you should always bear in mind that
excessive massage on areas that are affected by cellulite can
cause breakage in the tiny capillaries under the skin.
