Cellulite

 


It is an ugly fact of life for ninety percent of women: Cellulite, those unsightly fatty deposits also known as orange-peel skin. More than just ordinary fat, cellulite is a specific combination of fat, waste, and water that form a bumpy, rippled mass that gets trapped in the fibrous connective tissue just beneath the skin.

Diet plays only a small role in curbing cellulite, because cellulite is basically a genetic, hormonal, and anatomic problem. Liposuction also helps but only a little.

No cream can eliminate the problem despite the false claims made by so many manufacturers of Aminophilline containing products.

Massage using special equipments (endormology) can improve the situation temporarily but a lot of this improvement disappears a few weeks after the end of the treatments.
