This one’s not exactly true or false, but scientists do seem to be getting better and better at finding long-term solutions for treating trouble The most recent and promising procedure is a surgery called Cellulaze, approved by the FDA in 2012, in which an optic laser melts fat, breaks up fibrous connective tissue and stimulates the growth of new collagen, all through a pinhole-sized incision in the skin.
Bottom line: There is no evidence that ultrasound alone can reduce cellulite. When combined with another cellulite treatment, however, ultrasound may reduce the appearance of cellulite. It’s too early to tell whether it will be effective. More studies are needed.
From the sound of it, you might think leaky gut only affects the digestive system, but in reality it can affect more. Because Leaky Gut is so common, and such an enigma, I’m offering a free webinar on all things leaky gut. Click here to learn more about the webinar.
The puckering of skin happens when the layer of fat beneath the skin pushes against connective tissue and bulges, causing the characteristic orange-peel or cottage cheese appearance. For women, the risk of developing cellulite increases with age and peaks near menopause.
Endermotherapy utilizes the Cellu m6 key module, a medical device that has electronically controlled motorized rollers operating in combination with aspiration to treat, transform and rehabilitate the body’s connective tissue disorders and/or injuries. The applications of specific protocols restore optimal texture, motion, function and release entrapped nerves and/or blood vessels through the removal of scar tissue, fibrosis and edema.
“Start in a standing position. Bend down while placing your hands on the ground and kick your legs out. You should be in a plank position now. Kick your right leg up as close to your right hand as you can; this should feel like a very deep lunge. Pull that leg back and repeat on the left side.
Research surrounding cellulite creams has yielded mixed results. One study from 2011 found that a cellulite cream showed significant improvements when combined with personal dietary recommendations. The cream is thought to enhance the benefits of dietary control in reducing the visibility of cellulite.
The role of topical treatments in cellulite removal is divisive (See Side Bar 2 for all ingredients included in cellulite creams). An initial challenge of any topical cream is that it must be able to penetrate the skin and dermis to reach the target fat tissue before being absorbed by the tissue. Although numerous topically applied creams are advertised as cellulite diminishing creams, there is minimal data substantiating any of them. The majority of these creams function to promote lipolysis of fat. Methylxanthines (e.g., caffeine, aminophylline, and theophylline) are agents that stimulate lipolysis. In the review by Wanner and Avram (2006) the authors note that the research with methylaxanthines shows modest decrease in thigh circumference and/or subcutaneous fat thickness, but no reduction of cellulite.
The dimpled appearance of cellulite can be considered to be a normal variant — one way that many perfectly normal human beings look. Heredity, skin thickness, gender, the amount and distribution of body fat, and age can all influence the extent to which cellulite is present or visible. Cellulite is thought to occur due to shrinkage or shortening of the fibrous tissue cords that anchor the skin. While cellulite is more common in women than men, men can also be affected. Cellulite occurs in people of all races living all around the globe. Although female hormones may play a role in contributing to this pattern of fat distribution, cellulite is not treatable by hormone therapy.
When you look at most nutritional products and certainly most prescription medications, it is still true that the majority of them are designed for men’s bodies and were tested only on men. While that may be beneficial for men, it doesn’t do much for women who are trying to lose weight. We have a un…
Consuming apple cider vinegar may help with weight loss. Drink one tablespoon of diluted apple cider vinegar three times per day. Or use a solution of equal parts apple cider vinegar and water and apply it to your skin.
According to Nurnberger and Muller (1978) who examined male and female fetuses, up to 7 or 8 months of fetal development there is no recognizable difference in subcutaneous tissue. During the end of the 3rd semester of fetal development the gender structure differences become to be apparent and manifest themselves at birth. Variations in hormones between genders largely explain this skin structure deviation. It has been shown that men who are born deficient in male hormones will often have a subcutaneous fat cell appearance similar to females (Wanner and Avram, 2008).
Proper nutrition, regular exercise, sound sleep and good stress management are far better ways of approaching smoking cessation. Emotional Freedom Techniques may also be a powerful tool for keeping tobacco cravings to a minimum.
Hydration is crucial for overall health—from digestion to your skin’s healthy glow and texture. Being fully hydrated can smooth your skin’s surface. Try consuming foods with higher water content like melons, cucumbers, watermelon and leafy greens. Not only are these foods high in water content, but they are also low in calories – helping you to lose weight and control fat stores.
Laser, light, or radiofrequency therapy: The FDA has approved certain light-therapy devices that combine suction or massage with light therapy for the temporary reduction of the appearance of cellulite. TriActive is a treatment that combines a low-level laser treatment with suction and manipulation of the skin, while Velasmooth/Velashape is a treatment combining laser and massage therapy. Like Endermologie, both treatments require multiple treatment sessions and maintenance treatments to keep up the improved appearance. Laser/massage treatments are even more costly than massage treatments; the complete program generally costs thousands of dollars. Other systems use radiofrequency therapy in combination with massage and infrared light or radiofrequency at multiple levels simultaneously.
Women have a higher risk of developing cellulite as there is a significant difference in the way their connective tissue and fat cells are arranged compared to men.9 Fat cells in women tend to be arranged vertically under the skin.
Green Tea Extract – This detoxifying extract promotes healthy skin. It removes toxins that get built up under your skin. Areas that are covered with cellulite usually have lots of toxins built-up due to the reduced blood flow they experience. Fewer toxins mean healthier overall skin.

Vigorous massage. Some cellulite treatments are based on the concept that vigorous massage will increase blood flow, remove toxins and reduce excess fluid in cellulite-prone areas. One method in particular, Endermologie (also referred to as Lipomassage), uses a hand-held machine to knead the skin between rollers. You might notice a slight improvement to your skin, but the results are typically short-lived.
9: According to Haus, cellulite is a big fan of females with inactive careers. ‘If you’re desk bound in your job then your day will consist of little action,’ he says. ‘Take breaks, make tea and walk and talk rather than emailing. All of these small simple steps remind your rear it needs to keep in shape.’
Cellulitis is fairly common and affects people of all races and ages. Men and women appear to be equally affected. Although cellulitis can occur in people of any age, it is most common in middle-aged and elderly people. Cellulitis is not contagious.
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 achieved. 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.

Smoking reduces blood flow and the production of quality collagen. Collagen and elastin help reduce the appearance and progression of cellulite. Smoking also triggers premature wrinkles and increases the risk of dry, discolored skin.
