If the cellulite on hips is a feminine problem, love handles are instead almost exclusively a man
problem. Both are difficult to tackle; gym, diet, aerobic work, and more, often permit to obtain only
mediocre results.
Electrostimulation can contribute in an effective way to treat this skin flaw because, being a
localized treatment, it acts directly on the problem.
In this case it is necessary to have the maximum perseverance and especially the possibility to act
more times per day, or at least every day, with specific electrostimulation programs localized on the
areas to be treated.
Anti-cellulite treatment
The cellulite is a sworn enemy of woman body. Its elimination is not only an aesthetic caprice, as it
is a real “ILLNESS” to tackle and treat from its first symptoms.
The causes that can lead to the appearance of cellulite are different (they often act together to make
it difficult to treat): bad alimentation behaviors, lack of exercise, changes in body weight, bad
circulation, ineffective lymphatic drainage, deposit of excess fat, water retention, family genetic
predisposition, teen-age overweight, little elastic skin or not healthy skin, stress.
The cellulite, which usually appears on feminine body rather than on masculine body, can be of
different types:
EDEMATOUS cellulite: it is the first the stage of the cellulite and it is possible to recognize it
because the skin, in the critical points, is doughy and when pinching, it presents bumps and it
presents the orange peel skin effect. The edematous cellulite is caused by a loss of elasticity of the
blood vessels that supply blood to the adipose tissue by causing the liquid stagnation. The cells, that
are inflamed, strain blood circulation, by causing firstly swallowing and secondly anti-aesthetic
tires.
FIBROUS cellulite: it is the second stage of cellulite. The continuous liquid stagnation makes the
adipose tissue suffer and it becomes fibrotic. The skin begins to harden and to become dull. The
orange peel effect is evident even without pinching the skin.
SCLEROTIC cellulite: it is the final result of the process of tissue degeneration. At this stage, the
hardened nodules are very evident so that the skin looks like a “mattress”. In this third stage, the
cellulite cause a considerable suffering to the tissues and the adipose cells increase in number and
volume and the fibrous septa that separate them tend to stiffen and to shrink. This makes the nerve
endings compress and even just touching the critical points causes pain.
To tackle cellulite it is important the use of electrostimulation; indeed, like in an aerobic training, it
produces an improvement in the lymphatic drainage and in blood microcirculation, that
physiologically are the mechanisms intended to eliminate the excess fat. With the electrostimulation
the treatment can be aimed at delimited areas and therefore it has a greater possibility of success.
The treatment must be always used together with other means that we have at our disposal today.
Firstly, it is necessary to try to improve the skin health, at least because with healthy skin, cellulite
is less evident. Then it is better to eliminate or at least to limit smoke, alcohol and fat assumptions
(especially saturated fats of animal origin). Moreover, it will be useful to drink a lot of water poor
of sodium, to eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits (especially fruits with more water and
antioxidants, or with A, C, E vitamins and zinc and selenium).and to massage the areas in order to
improve the circulation and the lymphatic drainage and to limit stress.
To sum up: the anti-cellulite strategy must base on five main factors that are diet, exercises,
massages, natural integration and electrostimulation.
