ABC of Cellulite Cures

Although there are a number of claims as well as testimonials available on the positive effects of cellulite treatment, cellulite cure is not possible. Although there are some legitimate treatments of cellulite, most of the available treatments tend to be unproved and even unsafe.

Let us deal with some of these unproved but ‘sought after’ treatments of cellulite:


Mesotherapy or Lipodissolve: Although a number of online stories are available on the benefits of mesotherapy or lipodissolve, they are nothing other than complete horror stories. This treatment, usually involves a series of micro injections that are induced in the areas affected by cellulite.

The injected solution may differ from one physician to another physician. This mixture is usually described as to be containing homeopathic medicines, herbs and medicines.

Mesotherapy and Lipodissolve differ from each other essentially in the components contained in it. While mesotherapy is known to make use of homeopathic concoction, lipodissolve makes use of deoxycholate and phosphatidylcholine.

The proponents of the techniques of lipodissolve and mesotherapy claim that these techniques help in reducing fat.

It also breaks up cellulite through circulations as well as by allowing venous and lymphatic drainage. Although this may be true, these techniques do not help in addressing the chief cause behind cellulite formation that is connective tissues.

Lotions and creams

Lotions and creams work in a number of ways. Some of these chemical or natural products help in plumping up the skin, for a temporary period, while smoothening up your skin.

A few other products also make use of different types of caffeine.

This caffeine helps in reducing the extra weight of water in a particular area. Some others even claim to tone up epidermis through usage of copper peptide, thereby making your cellulites less obvious.

Although people tend to administer these preparations, its effect on the cellulite is more than always negligible and is also temporary in nature.

Usually these products need to be administered twice a day, and are often in requirement of a prolonged massage.

This is very time consuming and is often too expensive, and most women may later on feel it to be a small return considering the time as well as money spent on it.

It is also significant to note that scientific proofs are not available on its behalf, which suggest long term returns or a better effectiveness.

Dietary and the herbal supplements

Some of the manufacturers’ even claim that products manufactured by them even has the ability to cure internal causes that may lead to the formation of cellulites, like water retention, fat metabolism or water circulation.

As FDA is not into regulating herbal supplements, scientific studies are not available to prove things on the contrary. Thus, questions have been raised not only regarding the effectiveness or beneficence of these supplements, but even regarding the safety of its usage.

Massages and wraps

Most of the cellulite treatments come with massages, masks, wraps or skin brushings. Although these may bring about an improvement in the affected part for a temporary period, and may even lead to appearance of  toned up skin, with intensive massages even working in the improvement of muscle structure, these products never come with long term warranty.

Conclusion


Although the cellulite treatments available in the market may lure you and can even work in reducing cellulite, it is better to avoid these treatments as not only are they are temporary, but are also considered to be unsafe.
