Cellulite Treatment Guide

When you go to the spa or salon chances are that you have come across treatments that claim to get rid of cellulite. You probably think about how nice it would be to be able to do this, but wonder if things will quite work out that way.

Nearly 15 years ago a massage machine was invented in France that would help to get rid of cellulite. This was first used on horses, but soon enough it was noticed that it could also work to smooth out the skin of human beings.

This machine is known as the Endermologie and works in a simple manner. It gently vacuums the skin, and is massaged in order to break down excess fat. In turn, this excess fluid is taken away in the lymphatic system and blood stream.

Even though this treatment may sound complicated, it only takes about 45 minutes to complete. During the treatment the patient is placed in a body stocking of sorts, and the vacuuming begins. In many cases this may hurt at first due to the suction being too powerful. If this happens, the strength can be adjusted. The results of this treatment are effective, but unfortunately its can cost quite a bit of money. If you are really looking for a way to get rid of cellulite though, this may be the best way to go.

Another option that you may want to consider is the body wrap. This is offered by salons and can be quite successful in reducing cellulite. Many people have found that a body wrap can reduce cellulite while also tightening the skin. Talk about the best of both worlds.

The process of getting a body wrap treatment is not difficult. You will take your clothes off, and then you will be covered in a treatment substance that is offered by your salon. Each one is different so ask up front. From here, your body is more or less wrapped up like a mummy.

For most body wraps you will be in the same position for an hour or so. When the treatment is complete the bandages are removed, and you can shower off and head for home.

There are some ways to get rid of cellulite. If you are interested in this you will want to check the two options listed above. You may be surprised at how well this can work out for you.

Definition:

Cellulite describes a condition that occurs in men and women (although much more common in women) where the skin of the lower limbs, abdomen, and pelvic region becomes dimpled after puberty. The term was first used in the 1920s and began appearing in English language publications in the late 1960s, the earliest reference in Vogue magazine, "Like a swift migrating fish the word cellulite has suddenly crossed the Atlantic."

Descriptive names for cellulite include orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, the mattress phenomenon, and hail damage. Synonyms include: adiposis edematosa, dermopanniculosis deformans, status protrusus cutis, and gynoid lipodystrophy. Cellulite is unrelated to cellulitis, which is infection of the skin and its underlying connective tissue.
