The reasons for cellulite on the body are manifold, ranging from unhealthy diets, poor lifestyle or habits and slow metabolism to hormonal imbalances and genetics. Whatever be the reason, cellulite can make a body look pretty unsightly (caused by fat cells protruding against the connective tissues in the skin layers, the condition can cause bumps and pits on the skin). As such, one would need to get rid of it in order to get back to his/her former shape. While there is no miracle cure for cellulite, there are certain spa treatments that would help reduce its appearance on the body surface. These treatments include:
Body Wraps
Body wraps help in hydrating, toning and improving the texture of the skin. The wraps contain specific herbs, which would help detoxify the body and flush out harmful toxins from it, in addition to improving blood circulation, thereby reducing cellulite effectively.
Lypossage
This rhythmic massage treatment would improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow throughout the body. It would also help reduce water retention in the body to a great extent. Regular lypossage would help reduce cellulite effectively from the body.
Derma Sculpture
This type of body massage makes use of only the knuckles, palms and thumbs to knead the muscles deeply. No lotions or oils are used in a derma sculpture massage. The massage is often used with other diet programs, and can effectively reduce cellulite in the body in the long run.
Thermage
This cellulite treatment employs radio wave or infrared emitters to tighten the skin by penetrating deep into the collagen tissue. The non-invasive technique uses thermage devices like Velasmooth for both radio and infrared energy, and TriActive for infrared energy.
Endermologie
This cellulite treatment makes use of rollers and a vacuum like device to deeply massage as well as suck up the skin. While many individuals claim that this would help reduce cellulite, doctors argue that it would only cause the skin to swell and hide the cellulite patches temporarily. Once the swelling subsides, the cellulite would reappear, thereby creating the need for further maintenance sessions.
Ionithermie
This cellulite treatment makes use of a clay body wrap fitted with small wires to transmit electrical current. The electricity would stimulate body cells to flush out water and absorb the nutrients present in the clay wrap. This would in turn smoothens the skin and reduce the visibility of the cellulite patches.
