Cellulite is simply a term used to describe the appearance of bumpy looking fat on the body. This dimpled skin is most prominently seen on body parts such as thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen. While both men and women may have cellulite, it is the women who are constantly on the lookout for cellulite treatments. There are many factors that can cause cellulite in the body. Some of these are hormonal imbalance, genetics, gender, race, slow metabolism, excessive eating, deposits of fat just under the skin, fat distribution, circulatory insufficiency, irregular diets, and unhealthy lifestyle. Doctors recommend eating healthy, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight and BMI ratio, and reducing stress to prevent cellulite; but what about those who are already suffering from it?

There are two types of cellulite. If your cellulite is loose, spread in large areas, and a bit wobbly, it is called soft cellulite. This is the most common type and can be easily gotten rid of. The second type is hard cellulite. This type is more common in muscular solidly built people. Hard cellulite has a stronger attachment to the muscles and thus is harder to remove. There are surgical procedures to remove cellulite, but these can be dangerous and costly. Plus, with the ready availability of non-surgical effective methods of acquiring the same results more and more people are opting to explore such treatments for cellulite reduction. Three of the most popular non-surgical treatments used to get rid of cellulite are Endermology, Radio Frequency (RF) and Mesotherapy.

The Endermology treatment involves a therapeutic massage with machine that when rolled over the top layer of fat makes a fold. This folding action stretches the connective tissue and results in the reduction of cellulite and body measurements. FDA approval claims that Endermology treatments aided in reduction of cellulite, reduced body measurements, increased circulation, relief of muscular pain, and reduction of muscle spasms.

The Mesotherapy treatment is a safe, effective and non-surgical therapy for fat loss and cellulite. Mesotherapy is ideal for promoting the body's circulatory, lymphatic and immune system to create a biological response and reverse abnormal physiology. It has been proved to help improve blood flow in the body, dissolve excess fat deposits, remove fibrotic hardened connective tissues, smoothen skin, show gradual loss in inches, show oedemic cellulite improvement, irregularities correction, and enhance skin elasticity.

Radio Frequency is one of the few cellulite treatments that can also be useful for sagging skin on the abdomen, hips, thighs and arms, as the treatments involves heating deep collagen in the skin, which lifts, tightens and shrinks the sagging parts of the body. This treatment is ideal if you want to improve cutaneous hydration, skin appearance and collagen production.
