Cellulite Massage

7 January 2009

You often wish that you had a slimmer body.  In this era of skinny jeans and tight fitting tops, you find yourself battling your way to achieve a slimmer, sexier figure.  In the process that you don’t, you still try to fit into that skinny fad, hoping that it won’t burst as soon as you wear them.  You now start to wonder about that cellulite massage treatment that everybody’s raving about.

Fat cells that bulge on the skin appearing like an orange peel is what we commonly call, “cellulite”.  These fat cells are located directly beneath the skin covered by a connective tissue.  When there are more fat cells, the covering becomes distorted and it reaches the skin forming the unwanted lumps.  Common sites of these ghastly flabs are the tummy, hips, thighs and buttocks.  Effects of having these cellulite, in aesthetic terms, is damaging, especially for a woman.

Women have more cellulite than men, primarily because women are born with five times more fat cells than men are.  A female’s fat cell covering is also less flexible than that of a man’s.  When a lady’s fat cells grow bigger and distort the covering, the connective tissue easily follows the new shape even if it hits the skin.  If it were more flexible, the covering will restrain any distortion and keep the fat cells in place.  Another thing to be considered is the fat-summoning powers of the female hormone, estrogen.  The release of estrogen in the body allows

The big problem with these fat cells is that once they’re in your body, you can never lose them.  The best you can do is to make them shrink.  There are a number of ways to manage it:  cellulite gels, skin tanners, thermotherapy, liposuction, mesotherapy, etc.  These are some of the methods, but most are rather costly.

Cellulite Massage is another choice that you can opt for.  It is widely sought after because of its fast effects.  It involves a process called lymphatic drainage which make it possible for toxins and waste products to be washed away along with lymph fluid.  It is also effective because of the exfoliation and steam procedures that it includes.  One practice in cellulite massage is to allow exfoliation treatment to happen before all others take place.  Exfoliation removes the dirt and old skin cells that blocks the skin pores.  Scrubbing will allow the pores to be open so that any cellulite flushing creams, gels or ointments can get into the skin optimally.  A cellulite cream/gel/serum can now be slathered on the problem areas.  The body will then be covered in a chosen spa wrap treatment to contain the cellulite cream/gel/serum.  The client can now be placed in a steam room to allow the optimal action of the medication, as well as to loosen the tissues beneath the skin.  After so, cellulite massage can now take place.  The entire treatment usually happens within 45 minutes to an hour.

Get rid of that orange-peel look and try getting a cellulite massage at your nearest spa!
