Cellulite Cure Diary

You are not alone if you have problems with cellulite; about eighty percent of women have cellulite somewhere on their body. For centuries, women have looked for a cure to cellulite. In recent times a treatment has come along that does work.

The first thing people need to consider is the fact that you don’t get cellulite from something you do or do not do. Three things cause cellulite: poor circulation, heredity and hormonal changes in the body. Creams will not heal cellulite conditions. The three things that cause cellulite results in a loss of elastic texture to the skin and the connective tissues under the skin. The loss of elastic texture causes an uneven distribution of the fat cells. This is why people can loose weight and still have cellulite. The skin always has some layer of fat underneath and no matter how small the layer the condition will still exist because of the underlying connective tissue. Creams are not effective because they cannot take the fat off your body.

A new laser treatment has become available that attacks the root cause of cellulite. This new form is called TriActive. It is a handheld laser device that attacks cellulite in three ways. At first, it enhances the flow of blood and softens the connective tissues. The softening of the connective tissues has proven effective in changing the appearance of the skin in other treatments. The stimulated blood flow and drainage facilitates the sweeping away of the existing cellulite. The third part is that is shrinks the fat cells down and reduces their amount of swelling. Cellulite causes cells to become larger than their original size. By draining and reducing the cells, they return to their pre-cellulite appearance, which helps the contour of the skin. The benefits of TriActive are the fact that is attacks cellulite from the inside, which is something treatments applied on the outside of the skin, can never do. TriActive actually changes the structure of the cell.

Clinical reports conducted with TriActive have proven that it does work. Individuals treated with TriActive lost forty percent of their cellulite after eight treatment sessions. After additional treatments, the cellulite continued to be removed. Another benefit is that the laser treatment is painless and it can be effective on anyone regardless of their age.

Cosmetic doctors recommend a specific regiment of TriActive for cellulite cure. This is usually six to twelve treatments of twenty minutes each over a two to three months period. After the body’s skin has received the desired appearance the patient wants, only one treatment a month is necessary for upkeep. A typical TriActive treatment costs between seventy-five and one hundred fifty dollars per treatment session. This also helps make TriActive one of the cheaper cellulite cures available on the market today.

Having an available laser treatment to cure your of your cellulite is great news. Just a few years ago, there was nothing on the cosmetic market that made any noticeable difference in cellulite. The days of being frustrated over your attempts to improve your appearance are gone.

Many people accept their cellulite and never try to treat it.  While it is a great thing to accept yourself and your body for what it is, you really don’t have to deal with cellulite.  There are treatments you can go through to help battle cellulite.  Although these treatments are not cures, they will help to reduce the appearance of your cellulite.  So, you can try them if you desire to do so.  However, if you do choose not to treat your cellulite, that is your right as well. Take a look at these treatment options to decide which ones are best for you.

Mesotherapy Options

Mesotherapy is a cellulite treatment option that is emerging onto the scene in America.  It has been used for many years to treat cellulite in Europe and is said to be extremely effective.  It works with a specialist injecting natural substances such as minerals and vitamins into the mesoderm layer of skin, which is where the cellulite hides out.  It can be quite expensive however and finding a specialist may take time and effort.

Spa Treatments

There are several treatments you can find at your own local spa that will help reduce the appearance of your cellulite.  You can go for a relaxing massage to help push the toxins out of your body.  You can also opt for the body wrap to help your skin get rid of waste.  No matter which one you choose, you can bet you will leave the spa feeling rejuvenated and relaxed.

Creams & Lotions

Although many people are skeptical on using cellulite creams and lotions, they can actually work well.  In fact, when they are used daily, they can reduce the appearance of cellulite quite a bit.  So, if you think you want to try one, just be sure to use it as directed or daily.

Exercise

Exercise is known to be very effective in dealing with cellulite.  In fact, it is likely the most effective treatment method.  It works well to help reduce the amount of fat on your body. In addition, you can really work to shrink those fat cells and lose weight as well.  So, start taking a daily walk to help reduce your cellulite.

Diet

Although detox diets may not be the best option for cellulite treatment, eating right goes right along with exercise.  When you eat a low fat diet, you can be sure that you are doing what you can to avoid fat cells growing.  So, be sure your diet is rich in fruits and vegetables and try to avoid those extra fats.

As you can see, you have many options to choose from when it comes to reducing your cellulite.  Remember, there is no known cure for cellulite, but you can do all you can to reduce the appearance.  Many times, you can work so hard that your cellulite is hardly noticeable at all.  So, put in the effort with these effective treatment options and reap the rewards.  It may not be an easy task, but the results are great.

Ericka (real name not revealed) wakes up one Monday morning, as all mornings do, in a crabby disposition. She groggily heads toward the kitchen uttering unspeakable curses before she can make a cup of coffee, after which she returns to her usual sane self.  She reads the morning paper and finds an ad for Cellulite cream which contains… gasp! Caffeine! She takes a hard look at her coffee drink and asks herself: ‘Could it be?’

Stubborn Lumps of Ugliness

Cellulite are unsightly disfigurations seen on the skin surface whose very nature remains a mystery to this day.  It is a mystery that has been plaguing many a scientist, causing innumerable debate among doctors and large profits for cosmetologists.  Why can skinny women as much as fat women have it? And why are men excused from this curse? These and more questions of such remain unanswered?

Like any other issue, rumours about cellulite abound.  One of this is the theory that cellulite is fat.  The muscle and the skin have anchoring fibers in between. Cellulite are fat cells that push themselves in between these fibers and against the skin creating a lumpy, bumpy appearance.  To others, it is fluid congestions caused by poor microcirculation and permeable lymphatic wall and blood vessels.  There are other notions about Cellulite’s nature that include trapped toxins, skin aging and sun damage, and combinations of any said statements.

Startling Cellulite Silly

Caffeine is as notorious as it is beloved as a stimulant.  Despite its supposed horrid side effects: numerous heart ailments, agitation and strange accounts of psychosis, coffee-lovers increase in time and in the advent of coffee shops, they keep younger and younger each year.

Caffeine works as an active Cellulite treatment by supposedly tightening the blood vessels giving the skin a slightly smoother appearance. It seemingly is a safer, natural-sounding alternative to the drugs Aminophylline and Theophylline, both prescribed bronchodilators that are used in some cellulite treatments.  The effectiveness of said drugs as active ingredients in Cellulite creams has never been truly confirmed. 

Only two studies have been made to find Caffeine’s effect on Cellulite, one of them is a company that sell “caffeinated” Cellulite Creams, the other, a company marketing anti-Caffeine Cellulite Ingredients. No any other independent research, especially one that has no profitable ambitions, has attempted to prove the benefits and results of using Caffeine against Cellulite.

Despite this lack of scientific evidence, companies are still able to market such Caffeinated Cellulite creams as a cheaper alternative to a more costly treatment, Endermologie, whose results yet significant are still short-term.

Not Another Kitchen Beauty Remedy

Many home-made, natural beauty treatments have been debunked and eventually certified.  It would still be downright preposterous to apply ground coffee on one’s thighs and legs in the hopes of eliminating those hideous monstrosities.  If Caffeine is indeed effective against this Cellulite, shouldn’t internal consumption be more efficient? If so, with the vast numbers of coffee, tea and cola addicts, the world will not be obsessing anymore about Cellulite.

Despite any of its health claims, there is more empirical evidence of its damaging effects than good.  Besides, the difficult dealings with addiction and early morning lethargy are issues enough, let’s not add Cellulite to the Caffeine issue any more.

Cellulite is one of those pesky things that often leave people confused and stunned.  Even supermodels are getting cellulite, which makes one believe that it has more to do with genetics and lifestyle than it does anything else.  Experts are researching and finding out more than ever about cellulite, however there are still various silly myths floating around about cellulite.  Take a look at these seven silly myths about cellulite to get a better understanding about the condition in general.

Carbonated Beverages v. Cellulite

One of the most common myths about cellulite is that drinking carbonated beverages will cause it to appear.  The myth is focused on the untruth that the sodium in carbonated beverages and soda pop causes swollen fat cells.  The truth is that cellulite is not composed of swollen fat cells.  Cellulite cells are close to the skin and are fat cells, but they are not swollen cells.  They are actually cells that are trapped in the connective tissue near the skin and become deformed as a result of the entrapment.  So, although water is likely a better way to hydrate yourself, drinking soda pop or other carbonated beverages won’t give you cellulite.

Age v. Cellulite

Many people think that only old people get cellulite. In fact, they often think that you have to be over 40 to get this annoying skin problem.  However, the truth is you are more likely to get cellulite at an older age, due to the skin thinning as you age.  But, you can begin to get cellulite at any age.  In fact, teens are now complaining of cellulite! 

The Body v. Cellulite

The most common places for cellulite to appear are the thighs and buttocks.  In fact, one myth is that these are the only places on the body that cellulite can appear.  Those who have cellulite in other locations know this myth is not true, but many people still believe it.  Cellulite is so annoying that it can show up in many different places.  It is frequently seen on arms and stomachs as well, but there is really no place it could not appear.

Weight v. Cellulite

Another myth about cellulite is that only fat people experience it.  This is one that has been disproved many times over the past few years.  Even if you are thin, you can still get cellulite, which is often disturbing to many skinny people of the world.  Again, supermodels are coming forth complaining of cellulite and they are likely the thinnest people of the world. 

Exercise v. Cellulite

While it is true that exercise will help you prevent cellulite, it is a myth that exercise will take away any form of cellulite.  In fact, many people still have cellulite, even though they work out daily.  Cellulite can be hard to get rid of because it is trapped in the area of connective tissue by your skin.  Therefore, even if you lose weight or build muscle, that area may or may not be affected by your work. 

Society v. Cellulite

The sixth myth of cellulite is that society doesn’t want to see it.  For instance, there are millions of women who refuse to wear shorts in the hottest temperatures because they have cellulite on their legs.  The truth is that society is more accepting of cellulite than you might think.  In fact, people rarely take too much notice of it, and even if they do, they never comment on it.  So, go ahead and be comfortable.  Life is too short to worry about what other people think!

Creams v. Cellulite

The last myth states that there are creams that can take cellulite away forever. This is simply not true either.  You cannot count on a cellulite cream to take away your problem.  There are creams that may be able to help reduce the appearance of cellulite, however they cannot guarantee your cellulite will be cured, because there is no cure for it.
