Injections

Injections of phosphatidylcholine, a major component of the membranes of living organisms are widely used for the treatment of cellulite. When the active agent is administered to the dermis, fat splitting begins, causing cellulite becomes less noticeable. The effectiveness of this method of treatment is not scientifically confirmed.

Mesotherapy, originally created as a means to alleviate pain in certain inflammatory skin diseases, is now used in the treatment of cellulite. During this treatment are given a series of injections into the tissue located directly beneath the skin. For injection, commonly used vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. The views of experts disagree about mesotherapy. There is evidence that it really helps to reduce cellulite. However, there is evidence about the side effects of mesotherapy such as swelling, infection, and distortion of the contours of the body parts, which were injected. In Brazil in 2003 mesotherapy banned because of its side effects.

Endermologie

Endemologiya - this vacuum massage Vacuum massage - the return of old cans For the treatment of cellulite. Massage is done using a special device. Before a session, patients often wear stockings to reduce friction - it may cause redness and burning of the skin.

Endermologie changes the structure of adipose tissue, blood and lymph circulation. Experts in the field mehanobiologii (science, which integrates data Mechanics, Molecular Biology and Genetics) have come to the conclusion that deep mechanical massage causes changes in the connective tissue located in the dermis. However, the study did not specifically endermology shown that it can significantly reduce cellulite.

Massage

The manipulation of tissues that occurs during a massage helps to flush out liquids that may stagnate in the dermis. Because of this the skin looks smoother. Massage will help to remove cellulite, but may temporarily improve the appearance of the body.

Thermotherapy

Thermotherapy - exposure to high temperatures fabric that promotes good flow and vasodilation. It is assumed that this helps to modify the structure of the subcutaneous adipose tissue, and remove irregularities from the surface of the skin. However, some scholars have noted that the effectiveness of this method of treatment has not been proven, and that heat therapy may even worsen cellulite.

Anti-cellulite creams

The effectiveness of anti-cellulite creams is ongoing controversy. The first difficulty that confronts each for external use - penetrate the skin and dermis, and into the fatty tissue before the active ingredients absorb other tissues.

Most anti-cellulite creams designed to induce lipolysis, and thus reduces cellulite. Methylxanthines (such as caffeine, aminophylline, theophylline) have the ability to cause the breakdown of fats.

However, during another placebo Placebo - an effective tool for self-hypnosis -controlled study was not found any benefit from the use of retinoids for cellulite.
