Blog » Cellulite Finally a Proven Treatment That Works

I am introducing my “brother” Josh, as I am too embarrassed to tell you about my cellulite following the cold winter which exacerbated my innate moggy laziness. I did notice that even though Josh is a very slim Siamese cat, he does have a flabby tummy and that made me look at the research on cellulite to see whether it is limited to fatties and I found that thin people can have cellulite too. 85 % of women have cellulite, but men have it too. So, what is cellulite? It is the dimpling of the skin of the body, legs, arms and buttocks that occurs after puberty.

The latest scientific theory is that cellulite is an inflammatory condition, exacerbated by hormones. ( Stress hormones oestrogen, insulin, oral contraceptives and HRT.) A high fat diet, excess salt, too little fibre, inactivity,alcohol and smoking aggravate cellulite.

Cellulite is formed in stages –(THE CELLULITE CYCLE)-

Firstly fat metabolism is disturbed and fat cells become fatter, they then squeeze together and this disrupts the capillary microcirculation which causes a breakdown in the skin’s elastin/collagen support structure and the fat cells rupture. Fluid and toxin retention increases.  Cellulite worsens with age because the process of collagen destruction continues and it looks worse in menopausal women because their connective tissue tends to be more lax. Fat is a safe place for the body to store toxins. Any fat loss programme should be supported by a detoxification programme.

A patented extract of Hibiscus, Honey and Echinacea in Dermatic Effects cream has been scientifically shown to cause fat breakdown ( lipolysis) by stimulating beta receptors on the fat cells. It also firms the skin and connective tissue.

CHOCOLATE IS EFFECTIVE IN TREATING CELLULITE!

The Galvanic Spa is applied to the skin over a gel containing an extract of THEOBROMA CACAO – (COCOA) which contains lipolytic enzymes, proteolytic enzymes and xanthines which have vasodilator properties and stimulate fat breakdown and Chrysanthemum to improve circulation, reduce inflammation and fluid retention, promote tissue drainage and elimination of toxins.
