The explanation for cellulite is simple. Areas of the body that have a high ratio of fat to muscle (for example the thighs, hips and buttock area in women) are prone to the fat becoming trapped between muscle and skin. This causes the area to look lumpy and pocked. Connective tissue holds your muscles, fat and skin together and it is this fibrous tissue that we call cellulite.

The most effective way to get rid of cellulite is to eat healthy, exercise regularly, and detoxify your body. If this regime works for you, you'll have to keep it up for probably the rest of your life so the condition doesn't return.

Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) is a brand new painless cosmetic treatment for getting rid of cellulite. Originally developed in Europe, it is now proved that acoustic waves of a certain frequency can cause correction in connective tissues and increase the skin’s elasticity by heightening the production of collagen. The treatments last for 30 minutes and a patient usually needs not more than 6 sessions to see the results.

Creams and Vitamins. There are quite a few creams on the market that claim to reduce cellulite. The ingredients that are most common in these creams have been shown to stimulate fat metabolism, but most recent studies have not identified any that are sure fire cellulite cures in everyone who uses them. The idea is good. Since the creams are topical, and reach into the layers of skin where the wandering fat is located, and cause the fat to burn itself up, it would make sense that your cellulite will go away.

Drink lots of water.Drinking at least 8 glasses of water / day is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health : water helps the body to get rid of toxins ; toxins accumulation plays an important role in cellulite development so help your body detoxify and the cellulite will reduce accordingly.

Liposuction. This is a more invasive, surgical procedure than simple injections, but is usually very effective. Doctors do not usually recommend this treatment as a method for cellulite removal because it was initially developed for the removal of deep fat. However, more and more people are using as a quick fix for cellulite.

The use of essential oils in lotions and creams can indeed help to break down cellulite. Essential oil of Mandarin, which is a citrus oil, will help to break down fat. The way to get the best effect is to use a product like Wildcrafted’s Mandarin Toning Lotion, applied to your thighs and buttocks, or where ever you have cellulite, rap this area with Glad wrap, and allow the lotion to work for about 20 minutes. Repeat this at least 3 times per week.
