How do you control your cellulite problem more effectively

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is the lumpy-looking mass resembling cottage cheese, most commonly found on the thighs, stomach, and butt, especially of women. Cellulite is just a fancy name for aggregation of fat beneath a person's skin. Cellulite causes the skin surface to dimple and look lumpy.

How do I know that I have cellulite?

You can find out whether you have cellulite or not by pinching the skin around your upper thigh, lower abdomen, and butts. If it feels a bit lumpy, you probably have it. And, if you do have cellulite, there’s no cause for panic – you're not alone. Many women and girls — and some men too — have this problem.

What causes cellulite?

Several factors are responsible for the formation of cellulite in one’s body. These factors are – a person’s hereditary heritage, age, sex, how much fat is on the body, and skin thickness. These factors are all mostly responsible for the quantity of cellulite one has and how visible that is.

Do liposuction and mesotherapy work?

Treatments such as liposuction (surgical removal of fat from the body) and mesotherapy (directly injecting drugs into cellulite) are highly expensive and only result in temporary relief. Many experts warn that liposuction is not the right treatment at all for cellulite as it removes only the deep fat instead of cellulite, which is just beneath the skin.

Topical lotions and creams – the best way to fight cellulite

Topical lotions and creams are the best and cost-effective treatment available on the market to get rid of cellulite. These topical lotions and creams work by enhancing circulation of fluids, melting fat, and removing toxins. Recent studies have confirmed that these products reduce cellulite most effectively and give visible results in few weeks.

Doctors suggest that an exercise regimen that combines aerobic exercise & strength training with regular application of topical lotions and creams on the affected area is the best solution to shed cellulite.
