Causes: The exact causes are not understood. Changes in metabolism and physiology may cause cellulite or contribute to cellulite.
Therapy: There are no medical supplements that have
been approved as effective for reducing cellulite.
Only deep mechanical massage (like Endermologie) improves the blood circulation, enhances the lymphatic drainage, reduces the fat tissue oedema, facilitates the normalization of the metabolism in the area and the formation of stronger skin connective tissue skeleton.
Dieting does not get rid of the cellulite, but a balanced diet and
exercise
may help to reduce the fat content within the distorted cells, reducing their
contribution to the dimpling. Why does the skin look
dimpled?

Clinically, the appearance of cellulite is the result of
enlarged female hypodermic lobules, which give the skin the
dimpled "orange peel" look. As a woman, you have two
opposing forces, which create this visible appearance of
cellulite:
NO. Because cellulite is a complex problem, it must be addressed
from the subcutaneous layer, to act on fluid retention. Whereas
both diet and exercise affect deep fat, they fail to action the
underlying cause of cellulite in the superficial tissue of your
skin. Generally, even women who exercise regularly and follow
low fat-diets may still have cellulite.
Currently the most effective treatment is Endermologie®. Endermologie® is a technique recognized
worldwide which has been proven for over 15 years. Administered
with the LPG's CelluM6® therapeutic massagers,
Endermologie® is the first technique recognized to
fight the dimpled appearance of cellulite. LPG Therapeutic
Massagers are the first devices to have been cleared by the FDA
for the temporary reduction of the appearance of cellulite and
circumferencial body measurements in cellulite treated areas.

and after liposuction (especially after). Endermologie® counteracts
the rippling and hard fat deposits than can occur with liposuction.
