Treatments to get rid of cellulite run the gamut from creams to mechanical treatments and dietary changes. Selecting the best procedure for cellulite is as much a challenge as wanting it removed.
Skin creams that combine aminophylline, caffeine, and theophyilline are supposed to break down fatty deposits. However, the changes are not significant because creams do not contain the required concentration of these chemicals. Dietary supplements which contain ingredients such as ginkgo biloba, fish oil and sweet clover claim to boost the metabolism, protect against cell damage and improve circulation.
Massage treatments usually require 10-12 treatments before one can expect to see noticeable results. The appearance of cellulite returns if regular maintenance treatments are not continued after this expensive procedure.
These and other treatments have not been proven to permanently get rid of cellulite. So, be a wise consumer and consider the value before starting a treatment.
