A few words about cellulite

Cellulite affects 90% of women around the world and cellulite massage with special creams is here to help you.

Cellulite can affect both men and women, but it is more common in women due to the different distribution of fat, muscle and connective tissue. Between 80 and 90 percent of women can develop cellulite at some point in their lives. So dealing with it is very important for every woman.

Cellulite massage is a non-surgical treatment technique. It is very effective for women and men of all ages because it fights the structural causes of cellulite, helping to reduce the characteristic pits while helping to restore the smooth and firm texture of the skin.

What we do?

In order for the cellulite massage to be effective, quality materials must be used that activate the skin and affect the fat cells. Thus, during the cellulite massage, the therapists of the Athens Massage Center use:

Body serum with caffeine and artichoke

Body serum with caffeine and artichoke improves the appearance of the body skin and enhances its uniformity and elasticity.

These materials activate the burning of stored fat in fat cells and help reduce them.

Cream with AHA and caffeine

Body massage cream that combines AHA and caffeine visually improves the area, reducing the local thickness of the skin while at the same time enhances the uniformity of the skin leaving it smooth and soft.

AHA contributes to enhancing the natural renewal of the skin and to better penetration of the active ingredients offered by caffeine, ruscus extract and isoflavones, which stimulate the lipolysis and tightening process.

FAQ

The exact cause of cellulite is unknown, but it appears to result from an interaction between the connective tissue in the dermatological layer below the skin surface and the fat layer just below it. In women, the fat cells and connective tissue in this layer are arranged vertically. If fat cells protrude into the skin layer, this gives the appearance of cellulite.

Some of the factors that seem to be associated with cellulite are hormones, age, heredity, lifestyle.

A scale of cellulite severity published using three points:

Grade 1, or mild: There is an “orange-peel” appearance, with between 1 and 4 superficial depressions, and a slightly “draped” or sagging appearance to the skin.

Grade 2, or moderate: There are between five and nine medium-depth depressions, a “cottage cheese” appearance, and the skin appears moderately draped.

Grade 3, or severe: There is a “mattress” appearance, with 10 or more deep depressions, and the skin is severely draped.

Several treatments have been proposed to remove cellulite, but none have yet been confirmed by scientific research. Some that have been proven to help reduce or even prevent cellulite are:

  • Acoustic wave therapy
  • Laser treatment
  • Massage treatment with special creams
  • Carboxytherapy
  • Enterology
  • Ionithermie cellulite reduction treatment
  • Radiotherapy
  • Laser liposuction
  • Liposculpture with ultrasound

Caffeine dehydrates the cells, making them less visible. This must be applied daily. Various caffeine creams for cellulite are available for purchase online.

Retinol can reduce the appearance of cellulite. It takes at least 6 months of use to see results. It is important to try a patch test first, as some people have experienced side effects. Retinol treatments are available for purchase online.

Alternative or complementary therapies include caffeine, grape seed extract or gingko biloba. These agents have been applied topically, orally and by injection, but none of them have been shown to be effective.

Some people wear compression garments to reduce the appearance of cellulite. These clothes try to compress the arteries and increase blood and lymph flow to reduce visible cellulite. Compression socks and other clothing can be purchased online.

Reducing fat intake will mean that you have less fat to push through the tissues. Therefore, a healthy, balanced diet and exercise can reduce the appearance of cellulite.
