Endermologie treatment is a method of cellulite treatment that involves strong rolling, sucking and massaging of the skin on cellulite prone areas. The theory behind this is that the treatment will break up the cellulite and disperse them away from the affected areas.

The Endermologie cellulite treatment works by using 2 “rolling pin” shaped rollers that have suction and vibrates. The rollers will knead and massage the skin. Each session lasts about 45 minutes. The purpose of these sessions is to breakdown the unwanted fat cells and cellulite.

So Then, is an Endermologie Cellulite Treatment Safe?

Yes it is. Since it is just like a massage.

Is it costly?

It depends on your budget. If you have money to spare, you will not feel too bad of a pinch but there are women who spend thousands of dollars on this type of treatment so you’ll need to ask that question at your local establishment.

Does it work?

Ah hah! This is the crucial question. There are 2 views about this just like most things in life.

There’s one camp that supports Endermologie and claim that it works for them…

Then there’s the other camp says it is a waste of money and produces no lasting results.

Is the Endermologie Cellulite Treatment Worth the Money?

So, now that we have determined that Endermologie is safe, we should look at whether it is effective and worth your money.

The interesting thing to note is that Endermologie states that cellulite is indeed fat. This is the truth and a step in the right direction.

Now, can fat be massaged away?

The answer to that is no. Anyone with common sense will realize this. However, most people do not exercise common sense when it comes to issues that affect them on an emotional level. It’s so much easier to just believe that you can massage your fats away rather than go the painful route of hard exercise and strict diets.

Yet, it is the latter that produces the results. Even if the theory that you can massage your fats away holds true, that would be similar to saying that you are moving your furniture around the room. At the end of the day, the furniture is still there! Even if it works, the cellulite or fat stores are still in your body. So what is the point?

You want to completely banish the cellulite from your body. You want to burn it off and get rid of it. The only way to do this is with exercise and eating right. When you burn off your fat stores, you burn off your cellulite. This is the most effective way in the long run.

Think Before Doing an Endermologie Cellulite Treatment

Before trying out methods like Endermologie or laser therapy or any other method that requires you to fork out your hard earned money, it would be best to go about it the old fashioned way. Exercise and a healthy diet never hurt anybody that I know of.

Squeeze in a few cardio sessions a week. Engage in resistance training. Do the squats, lunges, dead-lifts, etc. Train till you are dripping in sweat. You will feel good and look better. Your body composition will change and your body fat percentage will drop.

Once that happens, your cellulite will automatically disappear. You will not need an Endermologie cellulite treatment or any other method.

This is a question that many women have on their mind. There is no shortage of anti-cellulite products and services on the market. Cellulite creams, special gadgets which use light therapy, cellulite massages, lymphatic drainage, anti-cellulite pills, etc. This is an industry that sees women spending over 12 million yearly.

With so many products, women are often at a loss as to which way to go about removing their cellulite? Should I try the latest ‘scientific breakthrough’ cream or will the new gadget with the UV light work for me? What about the special collagen pills that will make it disappear in 30 days?

Choices, choices and more choices…

So Which Cellulite Treatment Would Be Right For You?

Honestly, it doesn’t matter which cellulite treatment you decide to choose because they all share one thing in common. They are all ineffective and just a waste of your hard earned money. The truth is that there is absolutely no cream or massage or treatment that will remove it.

The exception to the above statement is laser therapy which is highly effective. However, the cost may make it prohibitive to many women. So, other than laser treatment, is there really no way to treat cellulite?

There is another way but it’s not so easy.

However, if you choose to adopt this method, your whole life will improve and your cellulite will diminish greatly. This method takes time, patience, sacrifice, sweat and in some cases tears. Yet, it is the only way that guarantees visible results that last a long time.

Are you ready to embark on this challenging method?

If you are, then read on…

Cellulite is Not a Unique Condition or Problem

The method is to reduce your body fat percentage. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not a unique condition or strange problem that arises because of poor circulation or other health problems; it’s just fat.

Fat that looks different from normal because it is squeezed through hard fibrous tissues beneath your skin. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

There are pockets of fat stores beneath your skin and once these fat stores are filled, the fat will squeeze outwards and push up against the skin. This is what causes the dimply, orange peel appearance that so many women detest.

Deal With a Cellulite Treatment Like You Would Any Fat Treatment

Since it really is just fat, you can deal with it just like you would normal fat. You can burn it off with a combination of exercise and healthy eating. Measure your body fat percentage and try and bring it down to 15 to 20 percent. This is different from the weight on your scale.

Body fat percentage is your body’s composition taking into account lean muscle mass, etc. Slim women may show signs of cellulite because their body fat composition is high.

This is known as “skinny fat.”

You want to be lean, healthy and toned. Watch your diet closely. Engage in cardio exercises at least 4 times a week for about 20 to 30 minutes. Get your heart pumping and make it an intense session. Throw in some resistance training on other days focusing on your lower body to really work those thighs and butt muscles.

In time to come, your body would have burnt off these fat stores and your lean muscle mass would have increased. Your thighs and legs will be toned and beautiful. Cellulite will barely be visible. This is the best cellulite treatment for any woman to choose because it works, but it does require work to get the job done.

Why Would People Really Do a Cellulite Massage?

There are many types of massage such as Thai massage, Shiatsu, Swedish massage. All these different types of massage employ different techniques to achieve different desirable results for the body from lymphatic drainage, to alignment to improved blood flow.

Some massage parlors even offer cellulite massage. There are several books on the subject so the big question is… Does it work?

The answer is no. It doesn’t. You are better off going with the normal massages that are available. Swedish and Thai massages are great for stress relief and putting your tired, achy body in a feel good state.

Fat Cannot be Removed by Cellulite Massage; Plain and Simple.

Cellulite is body fat.

The theory behind cellulite massage is similar to cellulite brushing. In theory, the massage will result in better stimulation and blood flow in the problem areas. Usually, moisturizing lotions, ‘special’ oils and ointments are used in the massage. This gives the illusion that the skin will absorb these lotions and oils and cellulite will be eradicated. Of course, this is not the case.

The cellulite may disappear for an hour or two because the lotions may have made the skin swell up and tighten. This will hide it for a while but it is very temporary. Once the ‘swelling’ or effect of the lotion subsides, the cellulite reappears and the woman is disappointed and tells herself that she needs a few more massage sessions to totally solve the problem.

A Cellulite Massage is a Total Waste of Money

Cellulite massages usually cost more just to give the illusion that they are more specific and effective. Neither is true since the massages just do not work for the intended purpose.

The reason that cellulite looks different from normal fat is the structure of the skin and underlying tissues. Women have connective tissues beneath the skin that are perpendicular to the surface skin. This creates pockets or chambers where fat is stored.

As women age, the skin loses its supple, elastic qualities and starts becoming thinner and harder. The fats beneath the skin become more prominent and this causes the appearance of cellulite.

It has been said that cellulite cannot be “cured”. Well, it does not have to be cured because it’s not a disease. It is just fat under the skin.

All you need to do is adopt a healthy diet, exercise regularly and use a moisturizing lotion to keep your skin smooth and supple. It also helps if you consume collagen supplements.

Your exercise regime must consist of resistance training. You will need to do squats, lunges, calf raises and if you’re adventurous, you may do dead-lifts too. These exercises will strengthen your thighs, hamstrings, butt and legs in general. These are the areas most prone to cellulite.

You must also include cardio training. Stair climbing, running, cycling and skipping are excellent forms of cardio because they focus on your lower body. If you focus on training your lower body, you will be able to mitigate the presence of cellulite.

In the short and long run, this is still the most effective method of treating it. No cellulite massage can help you remove the unsightly appearance for more than a few hours. Only a healthy diet and training can.
