Cellulite is the number one enemy for many women and some men. It is very common in some women where it affects up to 90 percent of the women in the U.S. Cellulite is a condition that is characterized by excessive storage of fat in the skin tissue. It then exerts pressure on the surrounding adipose tissue, which results in dimpled irregular appearance. Some women suffer from this condition more than others due to diet, genetics and lifestyle choices.
Although cellulite doesn’t have profound health effects, it can be a sign of an underlying medical problem that needs to be addressed. Examples of such underlying conditions include poor liver health, nutrient deficient diet, hormonal imbalances, or even poor digestion. There is a host of treatment options for eliminating cellulite, but eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite on your skin. Recently, researchers have discovered a few natural treatments that might help in getting rid of the unwelcomed skin condition.
1. Use of vitamin A
Scientists are currently investigating claims that vitamin A can help with Cellulite Treatment in Phoenix AZ. One randomized trial was performed on 26 women who were seeking to improve the appearance of their cellulite. One volunteer group was given a placebo while the other group was given retinal (Vitamin A). After six months of treatment, the researchers realized that the group under retinal treatment improved skin elasticity by 10 percent, while the viscosity reduced by 15 percent.
2. Use of caffeine
Caffeine is one of the most common anti-cellulite products. It is a common ingredient in most of the anti-cellulite creams in the market today. In a study performed on mice, it was established that an emulsion of caffeine resulted in an 18 percent reduction in the diameter of the fat cells in mice. Another study performed on pigs concluded that combining caffeine treatment with ultrasound therapy resulted in the damage of adipocytes and the thickness of subcutaneous tissue.
3. Use of phosphatidylcholine
A double-blind study performed on nine healthy female volunteers revealed that combining phosphatidylcholine-based anti-cellulite gel and LED light can help in reducing the appearance of the cellulite.
Although there is no miracle cure for this skin condition, scientists are still finding ways that might help in improving your condition. Diet, exercise and lifestyle changes are the first call to addressing this problem. Besides, other modern treatments such as the FDA approved Venus treatment can help to eliminate stubborn cellulite that is resistant to exercise and diet.
