Cellulite Removal: The Secrets of the Top Fashion Models
January 5, 2010 by GuestPoster
The top fashion models have silky smooth legs. However, mere mortal women can struggle with the dimples and bumps of cellulite. So what secret do the top models share only with each other? The answer is the three most effective cellulite treatments that work.
Before you understand how these remedies work, you need to know how cellulite forms in the first place. Underneath the skin, a layer of fat exists which is strung together with fibrous cords. Cellulite occurs when these cords thicken and harden causing the panels of fat to clump together and move upwards towards the skin. This results in the dimples on the outer skin.
One of the most common methods of cellulite removal is to use specially formulated lotions. These creams work by moisturizing the skin, improving its appearance and are most effective for cellulite on the thighs and butt. Stay away from creams that claim they can actually cause the cellulite fat to be reduced. There is no mechanism by which a cream can find its way down into the layer under the skin and make changes to the fat. Lotions that make these types of claims tend to be overpriced and you would be better of paying for the same type of cream under a cheaper brand name.
While lotions can work, the higher paid fashion models often attend day spas or anti cellulite clinics to be massage by specific machines. These devices smooth out the skin and help soften up the harden cords. This is an effective treatment which can be costly. One session has an average price of $100 and clients will need to attend the clinic twice weekly for several months. The results are also not permanent with maintenance sessions a must. The cost puts this treatment out of the reach of the majority of women with only the top models and actresses in Hollywood being able to afford the sessions.
The third and most drastic method is liposuction. This is the most costly of all the remedies and as an invasive procedure has risks associated with it. If liposuction is something that you would like to explore then it is essential that you speak to a board certified cosmetic surgeon who can provide advice on your situation.
