About Cellulite Removal

Cellulite is a condition in which the skin of the buttocks, thighs and abdomen (mainly) takes on a dimpled appearance. It affects the majority of women, and some men, too. Common names for it include orange peel or cottage cheese skin, hail damage and the mattress syndrome. Scientists have not reached a consensus as to what causes it. However, whatever the cause, it can be a source of embarrassment for those who have it. Until recently, it has been seen as something you couldn't do anything about. Fortunately, if cellulite is a concern for you, there are now quite a few treatment methods. Although there is not yet a cellulite treatment that is successful at eliminating cellulite completely, there are a selection of techniques provided by medical spas and laser clinics that produce satisfactory results for many. Here we offer an overview of some of the better-known options available.

Endermologie is a noninvasive technique for reducing the appearance of cellulite. Plastic surgeons in France developed the process used in endermologie. It is now also patented in the United States. This cellulite removal treatment employs dual action rollers to carefully massage problem areas of the skin, smoothing it over. Simultaneously, suction is used to restructure the skin and remove dimpling. You will need approximately from 14 to 28 sessions of 45 minutes each to see results and should continue monthly treatments afterward to maintain the smooth skin appearance. The best candidates for this treatment are between the ages of 30 and 45 and physically fit. Those who are not physically active will not be able to maintain results, and those more than 30 pounds overweight are not likely to benefit from this method.
