To see how much cellulite is hated by women take a quick glance at the anti cellulite industry. Just last year, there were 112 new anti cellulite creams that were released on to the market and the industry as a whole turned over $1 billion. Cellulite treatments are obviously extremely popular but finding the right one that meets your needs can be a little tricky. In this article, I will take you through the most common treatments and give a brief outline of each.

Cream

Anti cellulite lotions use ingredients which are known to burn fat from under the skin, improve the texture of the outer skin and increase blood flow to flush away toxins. Most lotions need to be massaged into the skin about twice a day and you will need to wait about 4 weeks to see results. Creams can range in price from $20 to $200 for a months supply. The higher priced creams tend to be better quality.

Massage

Massage reduces cellulite by softening the skin, smoothing the fat and pushing out toxins that have built up in the fat cells. There are two ways that you can have cellulite conducted. The first is to use a hand held massager that cost about $10. These are usually made from wood or plastic and are simple in design. The second option is to pay for sessions on a commercial massage machine such as Endermologie or TriActive. These machines are available at beauty clinics with sessions costing around $100 each.

Plastic Surgery

Cellulite removal surgery is the only method that will remove cellulite permanently. The most common surgical methods used to reduce cellulite are lysing and fat transplants. With lysing, the stringy connective tissue that joins the skin and fat is cut, releasing the skin and helping to remove the dimples. Fat transplants involve taking fat from one part of the body and re-inserting between the skin to help smooth out the lumps.

Conclusion

Choosing the right cellulite reduction treatment is a matter of determining your budget, the time that you can commit and how far you are willing to go. The most simple and inexpensive treatment is cellulite cream. Massage tends to be more effective than cream but can cost significantly more and require more time. Finally, plastic surgery is the most effective but will require a significant investment and has the usually risks of any surgical procedure.
