The Cellulite
Massager --
Does It Work?
There are all kinds of different remedies that claim to
remove
cellulite. Cellulite can appear on any woman past
puberty age and can strike any body type from thin to
overweight. It is recognized by its dimpled appearance,
which is often likened to orange peel or cottage cheese in
texture. Because it is such a common problem, there are no
shortage of treatments and remedies. One such treatment is
called the cellulite massager. But does it work, and if so,
how does it work?
Most of these massage implements are basically
modifications of a professional treatment called
Endermologie, which uses pressure and suction. Endermologie
treatments must be performed by a professional and can get
quite costly. However, there are products you can purchase
for home use. For example, one frequently advertised
massager uses what is called rubber glass to apply pressure
and suction to the afflicted area at home. Using a personal
massage implement for your cellulite is going to be the
most cost efficient and convenient method of treating the
problem, as compared to procedures performed at day spas
and cosmetic surgery offices.
It's thought that these massage tools work by
stimulating the tissue and improving circulation. This can
increase blood flow and break up the tissue that makes up
cellulite. After repeated treatments with a massage
implement, you may notice a reduction in the appearance or
severity of your cellulite. It's important to understand
that these results may not be permanent. In order to
maintain results, the massaging must be performed
regularly. You may experience a little bruising or
discomfort in the beginning, but once you become accustomed
to the proper technique these side effects should subside.
Be sure to follow all the instructions included with the
product, and be patient when waiting for results. It may
take several sessions to see a difference.
Some people use their cellulite massager in conjuction
with anti-cellulite cream or gel. This can't hurt and may
even enhance results. Look for products that contain
ingredients like caffeine, DMAE or retinol. In addition to
massage and topical creams, exercise is thought to be an
effective way to reduce the appearance of unsightly
cellulite and body fat. By combining massage, topically
applied products, and regular exercise, you have a better
chance at reducing or even eliminating your unwanted
cellulite.
