Cellulite – What can
you do about it?
Once developed, cellulite won't disappear or diminish on its own.
On the contrary, it's likely to increase. The only solution is to
make the fight against cellulite part of your regular personal care
routine and to begin treatment right away, before the problem
gets worse.
The good news is that cellulite can be reduced. It will never
disappear completely, however, and will return if you stop doing
something about it. There are many ways of fighting cellulite:
exercise, special creams and gels, diets, massage and even surgery.
However, most of these methods generally solve only part of the
problem.
Exercise, for instance, stimulates blood circulation but never
stimulates specifically those body parts that are affected by
cellulite. Creams and gels, on the other hand, can be applied to
specific areas, but, as a rule, their effect is very superficial since
they can't penetrate down to the deeper layers of the skin where
cellulite forms. The effect of diets is also negligible. They may
help reduce the overall amount of fat in the body, but fat deposits
in areas affected by cellulite tend to be very stubborn. What's
more, the major problem is not excess fat but fluid retention.
A number of nutrients (such as tea, coffee, alcohol and refined
products, e.g., flour and sugar) are known to stimulate fluid
retention, and although it's hard to avoid these products
altogether, it is advisable to limit your consumption of them as
much as possible.
Cellesse SenseActive
The cellulite massage system that's been proven to
work!
Philips has therefore specially developed the compact and
convenient Cellesse SenseActive to fight cellulite in an even more
effective and comfortable way. Cellesse SenseActive gets right down to
the cellulite layer within the skin and can easily be used in the
privacy of your own home.
Cellesse SenseActive massages the cellulite layer in your skin in an
intensive, pleasant way. This massage mobilizes the excess fluid,
which is then removed naturally by the body through the normal
circulation and lymphatic drainage systems. The result is a
reduction in the bumpiness of the cellulite layer and therefore a
smoother skin.
