Unfortunately, Cellulite still strikes terror in every female about to put on a pair of short shorts or bikini bottoms. Statistics say nearly 90% of females have Cellulite. So at least you are not alone! Here in South Florida cellulite is really hard to hide, because in this heat we can’t wear clothing that covers every square inch of our body. What’s a girl to do?

First lets talk about Cellulite basics. Cellulite is actually how your collagen and the tiny fat cells align under your skin. When the fat cells and collagen line up in a pattern perpendicular to the skin surface, the fat cells push up and out causing the Cellulite appearance.

Cellulite is a by-product of being a female with estrogen. Whether you are thin or not, it doesn’t matter. If you are in the 90%, you have the problem.

Cellulite cannot be liposuctioned away.If you try, it may actually make it more noticeable. Cellulite Treatments That Work:

There are many treatments available for Cellulite. They vary in effectiveness and method. From creams to machines to heat devices, almost everything has been tried.

Some creams may help. Many do nothing. The ones containing caffeine or aminophylline seem to have the best results. Unfortunately, you have to use them consistently and when you stop, the Cellulite will probably return to its original appearance. But the cellulite appearance will be reduced only while you are using them.

Machines range from effective on a temporary basis, to downright bizarre with no results at all. One I know of uses a suction technique combined with heat. It actually helps to contract some skin and gets rid of a little bit of the appearance of Cellulite, but only temporarily.

There’s also Endermology, a machine that basically takes a vacuum, sucks up the skin, then rolls over it with a heavy roller attempting to push the fat out. It works somewhat if you do it continually but still is a temporary fix.
