Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite is dimpling of the skin, often referred to as the 'orange peel' effect, on the thighs, buttocks, tummy and upper arms. Cellulite is caused by fatty deposits in the dermis of the skin. Cellulite is not related to being overweight, as people who are thin also get cellulite. Cellulite fat cannot be 'burned off' like the normal fat that the body burns as energy. Cellulite is very common and tends to affect more than 95% of women, especially later in life. Cellulite obviously has a hormonal component, as men are rarely affected by it. Cellulite is hereditary.

Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite is harmless to one's health and therefore treatment is not really necessary. However, its appearance is a problem for some people. Dieting will not reduce cellulite, but a nutritional diet, drinking lots of water and exercising may help reduce the dimpling. A healthy diet will reduce fluid retention, which will immediately improve the appearance of cellulite. There are no dietary supplements that are effective for reducing cellulite.

There are many cosmetics on the market that claim to be effective cellulite treatments. Creams which contain methylxanthine can reduce cellulite, as it increases fat burning just below the skin. Results can take up to 8 weeks. Liposuction (cosmetic surgery), which involves extracting fat from under the skin, is sometimes offered as a solution, but may also not be that effective.

Some cellulite treatment devices are available, but can be expensive. A deep massage device, known as Endermologie, can be an effective temporary cellulite treatment. A laser device, called TriActive, increases circulation to the area of cellulite, thereby encouraging lymph drainage, and has been known to reduce cellulite for a few months. VelaSmooth, a device which uses infrared and radio frequency wavelengths with simultaneous massaging, can reduce cellulite for up to 6 months.

A controversial cellulite treatment known as mesotheray, combines a mixture of off-label drugs with herbs and vitamins, and is administered in a series of injections. Up to 10 sessions may be needed. The long terms affects of this treatment are unknown, and therefore caution is advised by the medical fraternity.
