An herbal product called Cellasene is being vigorously promoted as a cellulite remedy. The product was developed by an Italian chemist named Gianfranco Merizzi. Its ingredients are evening primrose oil, dried fucus vesiculosis extract, gelatin, fish oil, glycerol, Soya oil, grape seed, bioflavonoids, Soya lecithin, fatty acids, dried sweet clover extract, dried ginkgo biloba extract, and iron oxide. The product, to be taken twice daily (or three times per day for an “intensive” program) for two months and then once daily for maintenance costs $1.50 to $2.00 per capsule.

I have bought many Groupan and LivingSocial deals but this was an exceptionally amazing and pleasant experience. The scheduling is very easy and the office is clean and beautiful. Jody just makes you feel so at ease and educates you about the treatment. My concern was about cellulite and she educated me about it so much that I felt I should’ve paid for the information separately. She always goes above and beyond. I’m so happy, I 100% recommend their services.

Alternative or supplemental therapies include caffeine, grape seed extract, or gingko biloba. These agents have been applied topically, orally, and by injection, but none of them have proven effective.

If you’re not building muscle, eating a healthful diet low in processed carbohydrates and sugar, and staying hydrated, weight loss may exacerbate cellulite. “Most experts agree the best way to reduce and eliminate the [bulging] of subcutaneous fat within connective tissue isaerobic exercise and weight training,” says Shane Allen, a certified weight loss specialist, personal trainer, and sports nutritionist atPersonalTrainerFood.com. “Strengthening the fibrous connective tissue under the skin helps regain elasticity, which makes the appearance of cellulite less prevalent.”

Soy Turkey and Swiss on Rye: Top 1 slice whole-grain rye bread with 1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard, 2 ounces soy turkey or ham, 1 ounce reduced-fat Swiss cheese and 1 cup fresh watercress leaves. Top with second slice of bread.

You see, if your lower body muscles don’t get proper stimulation the lumps and bumps just get worse and worse. By stimulating ALL muscle fibres and encouraging growth in those areas you’re able to push the muscle against the fat cells and the connective tissue, so that the skin becomes tighter and you have silky smooth legs again.

A skin doc is a good place to start, and many dermatologists do perform treatments in their clinics. But cellulite is not a medical condition, says Ein-Dor, and a medical professional is not required to treat it. “I am not a doctor, but because I focus only on cellulite, I can provide many more options in my center than most doctors can provide in their offices,” she says. Medi-spas can also perform treatments such as Endermologie and non-invasive laser procedures—but Ein-Dor cautions that you make sure your technician is licensed and has received proper training on whatever device you choose. (If you want a surgical procedure like Cellulaze, however, you’ll need to see a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.)

It’s true that cellulite runs in families; if your mother and grandmother had cellulite, you have a better chance of also developing it. In fact, there’s even a genetic test on the market that can tell you whether you have a gene variant that puts you at higher risk for moderate to severe cellulite—but, considering that most women will develop cellulite in their lifetimes (and the fact that you’ll know when you see it), it’s not exactly worth its hefty price tag.

Some topical cellulite creams use retinoids. Retinoids are similar in chemical structure to Vitamin A, a well-known anti-aging ingredient in many facial creams. Retinoids, like Vitamin A, have been found to increase the denseness of the epidermis to facial skin when applied for years. The hypothesis of retinoid treatment in cellulite site areas is to promote dermis thickness. Some research suggests modest improvements in cellulite appearance with retinoid creams over a treatment period of 6 months (Kligman, Pagnoni, and Stoudemayer, 1999). Yet other randomized, placebo-controlled research with retinol in the treatment of cellulite shows no responsiveness in cellulite appearance (Pierard-Franchimont, Pierard, Henry, Vroome, and Cauwenbergh, 2000). Alster and Tanzi (2005) observe that the downside of topical treatments is their inability to appreciably penetrate skin in order to render more than a superficial tissue effect. However, new studies show that iontophoresis may enhance the transport of some of these creams across the skin (Akomeah, Martin and Brown, 2009), therefore enhancing the creams efficacy. Iontophoresis is a skin permeation enhancement strategy that delivers a charged substance across the epidermis using an electrical current (which helps to drive other molecules across the membrane). Akdomeah and colleagues suggest this ‘electroperturbation’ of the epidermis technique may serve as a potential approach to enhance delivery of topical cellulite creams.

VelaShape III treatments are typically performed once a week, for a minimum of three treatments. The treatment duration can last between 10-40 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Results can be seen as early as 1 week from the first treatment, but optimal results are obtained after several sessions. Patients are pleased to find that the treatment is pain-free, and it does not require any anesthesia. Patients can expect to experience a gentle, warm heat with a comfortable massage. VelaShape is the only FDA cleared non-invasive treatment to reduce the appearance of cellulite while reducing body circumference. In addition it is approved for all skin types.

“Lie down on your back with your arms comfortably at your sides and your feet tucked under your knees. Push through your heels and thrust your hips upward towards the ceiling. The upper part of your back and shoulder blades should be pressed into the mat or floor. Lower yourself back down and repeat the motion. For an extra degree of difficulty, do the lift on one leg!”

2. Take a giant step to the left and bend your left knee until your thigh is parallel to the floor, keeping your right leg extended. Do not allow your left knee to jut over your toes or your butt to dip below your knee. Pause, then return to the starting position and repeat the motion to the right side without resting.

Cellfina is an FDA cleared automated mechanical cellulite reduction treatment. It works by releasing tightened septae using a very thin blade, which is inserted through a tiny incision. The skin is gently suctioned up into the Cellfina device, which allows the cosmetic surgeon to insert the blade only a few millimeters beneath the skin, minimizing impact on surrounding tissues. Local anesthesia is used.

These inconsistencies continued to puzzle me throughout my reading of Dr. Murad’s book.  He seems like has so much of the cellulite puzzle figured out. Why doesn’t he incorporate his theories into the recommended meal plan?

During this procedure, you receive a series of injections in the area(s) with cellulite. Different substances are injected into the area, including caffeine, hormones, enzymes, and herbal extracts. Because each practitioner uses a unique blend of ingredients, there’s no way to know what — if any — ingredients are effective.

Being overweight does make the appearance of cellulite more noticeable; the more fat you have underneath your skin, the more it’s likely to put stress on your connective tissue and bulge out of its weak spots. But cellulite also happens to women of all shapes and sizes, says Shira Ein-Dor, owner of the American Cellulite Reduction Center in New York City. “I even treat Victoria’s Secret models,” she says. “They’re very lean, they work out and eat well, they do everything right but they still have cellulite.”

Cellulite is caused by irregular patterns of connective tissue beneath the skin, and as the adipose (fatty) tissue, which forms in compartments of little honeycombs, pushes into the skin, it causes the dimpling of cellulite. It has been shown that people who have cellulite have different patterns of connective tissue than people who don’t, and men tend to have this pattern much less than women. Cellulite is not directly a function of excess weight, but a genetic difference in the way adipose tissue and connective tissue form. In fact, cellulite affects people whether they are overweight or not. Biochemically, cellulite does not behave any differently than other fat, and there is no health risk from cellulite (some evidence even suggests that lower extremity fat is protective against chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease).

This treatment was developed to reduce cellulite. It works by vibrating the connective tissue in areas of the body prone to cellulite. This help to stimulate and increase collagen production, improving the appearance, texture, and elasticity of the skin.

Dietary supplements: Several of these products have been marketed and contain a variety of ingredients such as ginkgo biloba, sweet clover, grape-seed bioflavinoids, bladder wrack extract, oil of evening primrose, fish oil, and soy lecithin. These preparations claim to have positive effects on the body such as boosting metabolism, improving circulation, protecting against cell damage, and breaking down fats. Such claims are difficult to evaluate as is the case with similar assertions made on behalf of many supplements and alternative therapies. Concepts such as “metabolism,” “circulation,” or “cell damage” cannot be easily measured on an objective basis to determine whether or not any improvement has been Additionally, because these products are sold as dietary supplements and not as drugs, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are therefore exempt from meeting the scientific standards for both safety and effectiveness that are applied to drugs. Furthermore, there are no valid clinical studies to support the use of these dietary supplements for the treatment of cellulite. Studies that have been conducted have not demonstrated any value of these supplements. Some dietary supplements that are promoted for the treatment of cellulite may also pose health risks or may interact with certain prescription drugs. For example, the formulation known as Cellasene contains iodine, which many doctors warn may be harmful for those with thyroid and other conditions.

Cellfina is the newest anti-cellulite treatment on the market and it works to reduce the look of it by physically cutting the fibrous bands that cause skin to dimple. Unlike a laser, which generates heat and can inadvertently damage the adjacent adipost tissue, Cellfina directly targets the fibrous bands while leaving the fat undisturbed, which allows the volume of the area to remain intact as the fibrous bands are released.  The treatment is said to work best on skin that has dimples, as opposed to skin that has an orange peel texture or wavy look to it. It breaks up the attachments to the overlying skin, releasing the divots seen from cellulite. The results and improvement in the skin last about three years or longer.

Anti-cellulite treatments are said not to be painful—they purportedly feel like a deep-tissue massage but with more heat. Ideal areas for treatment are the thighs and buttocks. Each machine (depending on what brand your doctor offers) is a bit different and the number of treatments varies. Most people require four to 10 sessions but sometimes more. There is no downtime with these types of treatments.

This sends low-energy shock waves through tissue that reportedly reduces fluid retention and breaks down fat molecules. Study results are mixed as to whether there is any short-term benefit to this method.31,32

Size doesn’t matter. Both thin and heavy women get cellulite. The more body fat you have, the more likely you are to also have significant dimpling. But even skinny women have some fat between their muscles and skin. That’s all it takes for cellulite to happen.

Equipment: Ankle weights Wearing ankle weights, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your hands on your hips, your elbows out to the sides, and your toes slightly pointed out. Remember to keep your head straight and your eyes facing forward. If you want to push yourself a bit, hold a light dumbbell in each hand as you do the moves. 

Little is known about what causes cellulite. It involves fibrous connective cords that tether the skin to the underlying muscle, with the fat lying between. As fat cells accumulate, they push up against the skin, while the long, tough cords pull down. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling.

I’ve spent years training 1000’s of women, just like you, and have first hand experience of the struggles you’ve been through. Yet the good news is that when women have used this powerful system they’ve not only reverse their cellulite for the first time in years, but they’ve also gone to discover a new found confidence in themselves and are no longer ashamed to show off their silky, smooth legs.

Cellulitis should go away within seven to 10 days of starting antibiotics. Longer treatment could be necessary if your infection is severe. This can occur if you suffer from a chronic disease or if your immune system isn’t working properly.

Of course you can! The plan inside has been designed to use over the course of 28-days, but you can repeat the plan as many times as you like or dip in and out of the routines whenever you feel like it. It’s really up to you! ?

As a special BONUS we have added 13 Cellulite Factor Solution Exercise Progression Videos like Dimple Free Squats and Bun-Done Bridge. These show you how to ramp up the basic exercises as you gain strength.

“Rather than standing with your feet hip-width apart and your toes forward, scoot your legs out a little wider and point each toe to the adjacent wall: left toes toward the left wall, right toes toward the right wall. Keep the same posture and technique as a regular squat.

Cellulite: Everyone has it, everyone hates it and everyone’s on the quest to eradicate the dimpled nuisance that plagues our thighs, butts and bellies. Although nearly 90% of women experience cellulite sometime during their lifetime, misinformation about it is just as common as the condition.

Massages that are targeted towards the areas with cellulite have proven somewhat effective, however only for a short period of time. Massages do help in redistributing the fatty deposits of cellulite, but the practice does not remove them. Massages need to be done regularly for the person to see continued results.

And finally these specific movements, using specific tempos, need to be combined in a specific manner, so that you can effectively reverse cellulite quickly and go on to enjoy your new silky, dimple free butt, thighs and hips by showing them off to friends, family and random people in the street.

People of all sizes can have cellulite. But if you’re overweight, the most effective treatment is to shed extra pounds and tone your body. Eat less and add more cardio and strength training exercise. Lift weights at least 2 days a week. Focus on your legs, hips, and backside. Strong, defined muscles under a thinner fat layer will make your skin smoother and less puckered.

My Cellulite Solution helps reverse the appearance of ugly cellulite using a unique 3-step system. This 3-step system revolves around 3D movements, tempo training and specific movement sequences that help tackle cellulite at the route cause. Give it 28 days and see for yourself!

In 1998, the FDA approved a high-powered, handheld massage tool that consists of a treatment head and two motorized rollers with a suction device that compresses the affected tissue between the two rollers. The manufacturer is permitted to promote it for “temporarily improving the appearance of cellulite.” The procedure — called Endermologie — usually takes 10 to 20 treatments to get the best results, and one or two maintenance treatments per month are required to maintain them. I myself used to be an Endermologie tech and discovered more a relaxing experience then any significant cellulite change.

Detoxing your body may help minimize cellulite by reducing stored toxins that contribute to cellulite. Try to eliminate or significantly reduce the amount of toxins you put in your body through diet and lifestyle. That includes avoiding things such as smoking and drinking.

Collagenase: Collagenase is a naturally occurring enzyme in the body that breaks down collagen, a component of connective tissue (the tissues that bind our cells together). Some studies have suggested that injections with this enzyme may be beneficial in improving the appearance of cellulite, but the long-term effects of these injections are still unknown, and studies have not yet been completed to determine the extent and duration of the improvements, if any. The treatment is considered experimental and is not yet routinely available, but research and trials are under way to determine if collagenase injections may become an option for the treatment of cellulite.

So in November 2010, she turned to Dr. Bruce Katz, director of the Juva Skin and Laser Center in New York City, who introduced her to Cellulaze, the first one-time laser treatment approved for cellulite by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Now let’s talk myths! The marketing gimmick that compression clothing – tights, underwear, active wear – can cure or repair cellulite is dangerous because it tempts you to spend your hard earned money on something that won’t give you results.

Yes, wearing compression-style leggings while you exercise can reduce jiggle as you move—but it’s only a temporary effect, says Karcher, and you’re unlikely to see any change after you strip down post-workout.

The bottom line on using liposuction for removing cellulite? Even if you have this procedure, you also have to make permanent changes to your diet and/or physical activity level. Otherwise, more fat cells and cellulite are created and stored elsewhere on the body.

In a small number of patients, unacceptable cellulite appearance may still be present after all of the non-invasive treatments have failed. In addition, some patients have very deep dimples, depressions or scars that have to be addressed with minimally invasive procedures. For these special situations, we use two different technologies, SmartLipo and fat shifting/transfer. We will describe them briefly:

Some evidence suggests that retinol cream can help with cellulite, but the results aren’t great. Twice-daily application of a 0.3% retinol cream for 6 months can thicken your skin and reduce that orange-peel look.

During this procedure, a technician inserts carbon dioxide just beneath the skin. This is thought to increase blood flow to the area, which may help reduce the appearance of cellulite. You may experience discomfort and temporary bruising.

How could this be? Noticing that the liposuction did not produce lasting results, researchers from the study explained that the fat returned after the liposuction procedure because the patients did not make any lasting lifestyle changes. For example, if you have fat removed from the hip area but continue to eat in a way that puts on extra body weight, the body continues to make and store new fat cells. As they put it, “We think the brain somehow knows how much fat is on board and responds [to liposuction] in a manner to regulate that weight. That’s why preventing obesity is so important”.

This incredibly potent herb often gets pushed to the side of people’s plates, but it does far more than make your meal look nice. In addition to helping rid the body of toxins, it also acts as a diuretic, which helps flush out your kidneys, preventing bloating and water retention. Not to mention, parsley is also a rich source of vitamins A, C and E, nutrients important for healthy, vibrant skin that help smooth out the appearance of cellulite.

The bottom line is that the same things you would do to keep your body fit and healthy are your best weapons against cellulite. In the meantime, take it from me: Self-tanner, which can help camouflage the cottage cheese, is a lumpy butt’s best friend.

It’s a condition that affects 90 percent of women and 10 percent of men, mostly in industrial nations. As women start approaching menopause, estrogen starts decreasing. From 25 to 35 is when you start seeing the appearance of cellulite. Estrogen has an impact on the blood vessels. When estrogen starts to decrease, you lose receptors in blood vessels and thighs, so you have decreased circulation. With decreased circulation you get less oxygen and nutrition to that area, and with that we see a decrease in collagen production…. [Also, at this time] fat cells start becoming larger, [they] begin protruding through the collagen [and become the bumpy fat known as cellulite].

The best way to blast away cellulite? Good dietary and exercise habits, of course. “You can always trick the body into becoming a fat-burning machine with some simple exercise and nutrition tips,” says local personal trainer Dell Jeanty of Dell Fitness. 

In my experience, I found 5 cellulite exercises (and over 50 variations of them) that worked great and below I will try to explain a little bit about them and give you a workout plan to do at home and reduce your cellulite in just a few short weeks.

Mix together one-fourth cup of coffee grounds, three tablespoons of sugar and two tablespoons of melted coconut oil to form a paste. Take a little bit of this paste and massage the affected skin with it for several minutes using firm pressure. Finally, rinse it off with lukewarm water. Follow this remedy two or three times a week until you get the desired results. You can store the excess in a glass jar for future use.

Laser treatments are combined with massage and rolling; they either do suction or rolling and use radio waves and heat up the fat—put fat on a stove in a frying pan, and it melts. [Those treatments] heat it up and hope we can break it down that way, and use section and rollers to try to force it out [of the puckered near-skin area].

Accept your curves and love your body. Being rail-thin like an air-brushed model is not the goal. Accept your curves and have the intention to be in shape and at your ideal body weight. This is the best decision that you can make. Love your body and take care of it. Think healthy and feel healthy. This is of the greatest importance.

To better understand what cellulite is a review of skin microanatomy is needed. The outermost layer of skin is referred to as the epidermis. Immediately under this is the dermis (also called the corium), which is richly filled with hair follicles, sweat glands, blood vessels, nerve receptors and connective tissue. The next layer of tissue is the first of two layers of subcutaneous (which means beneath the skin) fat (Rawlings, 2006). It is in this first region of subcutaneous fat (called the areolar layer with fat cell chambers [or lobules] that are arranged vertically in females) where the prevailing evidence-based understanding of cellulite is described (Wanner and Avram, 2008; Rawlings, 2006; Avram, 2004). According to this scientific explanation, cellulite is caused by small protrusions of fat (called papillae adiposae) into the dermis. This structural alteration of subcutaneous fat protruding (or herniating) into the dermis gives skin the ‘bumpy’ appearance referred to as cellulite (Sadick and Magro, 2007). This theory has been confirmed using magnetic resonance imaging (Querleux et al., 2002), sonography (high-frequency sound waves to construct an image) (Rosenbaum et al., 1998), and skin biopsy (Nurnberger and Muller 1978). A second, similar theory adds that cellulite is a result of a laxity (or weakening) in the connective tissue bands in the dermis that allows for the fat protrusions to occur (Pierard, Nizet, and Pierard-Franchimont, 2000).

Weight gain often increases the appearance of cellulite. Diet and exercise cannot eliminate or reduce cellulite, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and regular exercise may help to lessen the severity of the condition.

Drink plenty of water. Hydrating your body keeps your skin cells looking fresh and renewed, which can reduce the appearance of cellulite. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to make sure your system is getting all the water it needs.

If cellulite is your problem, liposuction should not be your solution, says Dr. McDaniel. In fact, the cosmetic procedure could even make fat distribution more uneven, making its outward appearance even worse. Another vacuum-like (but non-surgical) procedure, however, known as Endermologie, has been shown to help: During Endermologie, a technician runs a suctioning device surrounded by rollers over a patient’s skin, pulling and squeezing trouble spots for about 30 minutes. Results are visible after about 10 visits (two per week), which can cost between $80 and $150 each.

A combo of caffeine and microscopic beads makes Bliss Fat Girl Slim, $32, a super smoother. Vichy CelluDestock, $40, has salicylic acid to help ingredients such as caffeine penetrate better.

Fit people are just as prone to developing cellulite as sedentary folk, but if some of your cellulite comes from carrying a few extra pounds, losing weight might help. You can’t exercise away the actual cellulite, but you can use moderate cardiovascular exercise to keep from developing additional fat that will contribute to its appearance.

The following is an orderly review of surgical options, injectable interventions, noninvasive devices, thermo treaments, topical ointments, herbals, lasers and shock wave treatments that have all been used in the treatment of cellulite. It is important to note that many of the cellulite treatment studies have been completed with relatively small sample sizes and generally do not follow up with their participants for extended periods of time. Also, some of the methods used to analyze patient results are often based more on human observation rather than on scientific assessment. Lastly, it is difficult to rule out external factors such as change in diet and exercise when interpreting the results of some studies.

The motion improves circulation and helps flush waste and toxins by stimulating the lymphatic system, explains Dr. Gohara, who is also a fellow of American Academy of Dermatology. “Doing all of that can certainly parlay into skin radiance and glow and a plumper appearance.”

During one minimally invasive laser treatment called Cellulaze™, a tiny laser fiber is inserted beneath your skin. When the laser is fired, the laser energy breaks up the tough bands beneath the skin that cause us to see cellulite. This treatment can also thicken your skin, which is important. Skin often thins where cellulite forms. Thickening the skin help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite is one of those words that becomes instantly contagious. Once one woman in the room complains about her thighs, it’s just a matter of time before another chimes in about her rear end. Whether or not any of these ladies’ complaints have merit (and, according to this study, they usually do), dimpling of the skin is a huge source of insecurity for women of all sizes.
