Anti-Cellulite Answers

There are some over-the-counter cellulite treatments that are very effective in minimizing the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite creams, lotions and gels are widely used in treating cellulite. Massage the cellulite-prone areas vigorously for some time to make these products work better. Massaging improves the blood circulation to the affected parts. It destroys the collagen bands that are responsible for constriction, giving the puckered look to the affected areas. The smoothing and tightening chemicals caffeine and aminophylline; present in the skin will smoothen and tighten the skin.

You can also go for endermology, which is a big mechanical pressure device. It uses the same process as that used by the rolling pin when it rolls out the dough while making cookies. This device kneads the affected areas with great pressure to destroy the collagen bands. It leads to smoothening of the puckered area, giving it an even and toned look. Many users have reported excellent results by using this device. But the cost, repeated visits for treatment, uncomfortable and at times slight pain causing temporary bruising are the major disadvantages of this method.
