by Abigail McKenzee

Its hard to know what to choose to treat your cellulite with so many products available, so we thought we would help you out.

Cellulite Treatments

Dietary supplements: Ginkgo biloba, sweet clover, grape-seed bioflavinoids, bladder wrack extract, oil of evening primrose, fish oil, and soy lecithin are just some of the active ingredients found in these products. These products claim to have positive effects on the body such as boosting metabolism, improving circulation, protecting against cell damage, and breaking down fats. These claims are difficult to verify similar to many supplements and alternative therapies on the market.

Valid clinical studies also don't exist yet to back up these claims. No value of the products has been proven yet by studies. Dietary supplements that are promoted for the treatment of cellulite may also pose a health risk or may interfere with certain prescription drugs.

Cellulite diets: Special diets have been claimed to be effective in treating cellulite. Claims for these diets are that the combination of foods help reduce inflammation, and improve circulation to the affected areas thus diminishing cellulite. A healthy diet can decrease fluid retention thus improving the overall look of your skin, however experts agree that a specific diet isn't necessary.

Wraps: There are a range of herbal and other types of body wraps available as cellulite treatments. Yet like cellulite diets, their effects have not been proven or reported in controlled studies in the medical literature. The effects are largely temporary however wraps can decrease fluid retention and improve the appearance of skin.

Massage treatments: Several machines have been introduced that massage the areas affected by cellulite. Endermologie is one such that has been approved by US FDA and results in a result in the appearance of cellulite. While a temporary decrease in the appearance of cellulite may result, the technique appears to redistribute fat rather than permanently alter its configuration under the skin. Frequent maintenance cellulite treatments are required after the initial effect has been achieved or the appearance of cellulite will return.

Laser or light therapy: The FDA has approved two light-therapy devices that combine suction or massage with light therapy for the temporary reduction of the appearance of cellulite. However similar to Endermologie both treatments need maintenance sessions to keep up the appearance. Laser/massage sessions are more expensive than massage sessions costing thousands of dollars.

Well there are some of the most common cellulite treatments examined. However the easiest and most economical option is to choose a reputable cellulite cream.
