Most of us are familiar with the unsightly skin condition known as cellulite. After all, cellulite is affecting about 90% of the female population. Although it considered to be feminine and attractive in the past, today, most of us will do anything to get rid of the 'cottage-cheese' skin appearance and a jello-like jiggly forms.
Cellulite is quite persistent and can worsen due to weight gain, alcohol and tobacco consumption. It is also influenced by genetic factors and unhealthy lifestyle, lack of exercise and poor diet.
A whole industry of cosmetic treatments targeted at cellulite is thriving on women desperate to rid themselves of the cellulite curse. Prices range from cheap generic topical creams to exclusive brands costing hundreds of dollars. Other solutions range from massage, surgical removal, mesotherapy and body wraps to combined approach that integrates infrared light, mechanical massage with vacuum suction. Here are some of the popular cellulite removal procedures in use today:
- Liposuction is a surgical removal of excessive fat cells. Even though it is known to bring dramatic results, this procedure is invasive, painful and expensive. It has to be performed under general anaesthesia, involves complications risks and requires downtime to recover. Also, it has to be noted, this treatment is an effective solution for removing fat but not necessarily the cellulite deposits that are located right underneath the skin and are harder to reach.
- Mesotherapy: this procedure involves injecting combination of drugs and vitamins to improve blood circulation and break down the fat deposits in the affected areas that are then flushed out naturally.
- Lipo-dissolve: more advanced form of mesotherapy with injections containing higher concentration of the fat dissolving solution.
- Endermologie uses vacuum pump to massage and stimulate deep tissues of the skin and break down fat and waste deposits that are then eliminated by the metabolic processes. By improving metabolism, this procedure decreases the fat cells contributing to more smooth and supple skin appearance
- Vela Smooth uses a combination of infrared light and radio frequency along with mechanical massage and suction to treat cellulite on different levels. Vela Smooth technology is noted to bring effective results in improving overall skin appearance
Side effects might involve some degree of pain, discomfort, redness and bruising. All of the procedures require series of treatment to be effective. Although all of these methods are usually very pricey, no approach can guarantee 100% cure with no relapse. Maintenance treatment is necessary to upkeep the optimal results.
Vitamin supplements, cardio and weight exercise, healthy diet rich in fibre, fruit and vegetables can all improve the look of cellulite and diminish dimply appearance.
Herbal and natural supplements is an alternative option for treatment, and although it might take longer time to naturally boost metabolic processes, this option is safer, much cheaper and has no side effects.
Silica is known for its skin-augmenting properties, and is widely used for treatment of wrinkles, scarred and burned tissues. Cellulite reduction is another area where Silica can be very effective. Since Silica is a major component in the connective tissues, specifically connective fibres collagen and elastin, its supplementation improves skin metabolic processes and overall appearance. Silica is found throughout the body being responsible for many processes and function. As it diminishes with ages, we require constant supplementation to ensure the proper body function and healthy connective tissues. Silica has no known side effects and there is no danger of consuming too much as it doesn't accumulate and is flushed quickly from the body.
