No one wants to be seen with unsightly cellulite. It can appear on your thighs, your buttocks, your hips, and your arms. Women tend to have more issues than men as they tend to develop higher levels of cellulite on their hips and buttocks. The highest percentage of those seeking information concerning cellulite removal are women, with only a very small percentage of men showing any interest at all in learning how to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
We Are All at Risk
Simply put, no matter who you are or how active your lifestyle may be, everyone is likely to have at least some level of cellulite on their body. While small, practically unnoticeable amounts do not necessarily warrant seeking out a cellulite removal plan or product, left unchecked levels are likely to continue increasing.
Once your levels of cellulite reach the point where the cellulite begins to attach to the connective tissues in your dermal layer, your skin will begin to display the bumps and dimples most often associated with having excess cellulite. At this point, if you want to look your best, you will need to seek out a cellulite treatment which has been proven effective. Fortunately, there are a number of different and effective treatments available.
Medical Forms of Cellulite Treatment
As with so many other issues related to weight and weight loss, there are a variety of medical or surgical forms of cellulite treatment you can choose from. Perhaps the most well-known of these is liposuction. With this procedure, the surgeon will make a series of small incisions through which a suction tube can be inserted. The surgeon then literally "sucks" the excess fat out from under your skin.
Not only does this process involve surgery, but it is quite painful and is not always the most successful way to deal with cellulite. Laser aided liposuction is the latest version of this form of cellulite treatment. The surgeon uses a laser to help break up the fat, allowing more of it to be removed in a far less invasive and more effective form of treatment.
There are three different forms of laser and radio-frequency treatments which have been found to be effective as short term (approximately 6 month duration) cellulite treatments. The first makes use of infrared light, radio frequency, and negative tissue massage. The second uses a combination of diode laser energy and tissue massage to break up fat cells. The third uses multi-depth radio-frequency waves to help break up the fat cells. Results are very promising, some experts say these treatments may be among the most successful to come along so far.
Among the more popular non-medical or alternative forms of cellulite treatment are massage, Mesotherapy, and a variety of topical creams. Massage can be accomplished in several ways, the most popular of which is Edermologie and involves the use of hand-held device which massages your skin between a series of rollers. The idea is to increase the flow of blood in your skin, which in turn should speed the removal of excess fluids, toxins and fat cells in the area. However, all results seem to be very short lived.
There are also a number of creams marketed as a form of cellulite treatment. These creams all seem to contain a wide range of vitamins, herbs, minerals, antioxidants, and in many cases caffeine. Results of these creams as a treatment for cellulite vary not only from one cream to the next, but from one person to another. The effectiveness of these creams varies, many research studies cast doubt on how well they work, but you will find many who claim they work very well. In the end only you can be the judge when it comes to determining which, if any, of the different creams on the market work for you.
