What is cellulite?
The disorder refers to a condition that occurs mostly in women where the skin of the legs, buttocks and abdomen takes on a dimple like appearance after puberty. But perhaps it is wrong to label this condition as a disorder. The fact is that many doctors believe it is just a natural and normal condition in many women and that there are no proven treatments or way of rectifying it.
Notwithstanding the advice of doctors and other professionals, many women with cellulite are willing to do just about anything to get rid of it. That is because cellulite is considered extremely unattractive by both men and women. And nicknames like "cottage cheese skin" and "orange peel syndrome" certainly don't help others accept it.
In the next few paragraphs we are going to take a look at a popular cellulite treatment to see whether or not it can get rid of that unsightly skin.
When women notice that they are developing cellulite, they tend to have extreme reactions to it. Most of them run immediately to their plastic surgeons' and ask for liposuction. But liposuction has proven completely ineffective in getting rid of cellulite. The fact is that this procedure only reduces fat and fat deposits in certain areas of the body it does not smooth out the skin.
As we mentioned earlier, doctors are baffled when it comes to cellulite, which is why many women have turned to non-prescription, over-the-counter topical solutions. One of the best products on the market is called Cellulean.
Cellulean is a new product that is contains a common asthma drug called Aminophylline. It has been proven in a number of clinical trials to reduce fat on the thighs, buttocks, hips and stomach.
No, this product is not magic. It works by simply carrying natural and pharmaceutical ingredients through the skin and into the fat cells where they work to help these cells release fat particles. Instead of simply removing fat, as liposuction does, this product actually reduces their size just enough so that bumpy and uneven cellulite skin becomes much smoother and firmer. And because it is a cream, it will not cause scaring or lumpiness like liposuction procedures often will. Cellulean customers report that they have seen dramatic results in as early as two weeks. These results often consist of much slimmer looking thighs, buttocks and stomach areas as well as an appreciable diminution of the appearance of cellulite.
The Side Effects
While there are no know cellulean side effects, it should not be used by pregnant women. There is, of course, no evidence that it is harmful during pregnancy, however, the product has not been tested on pregnant women and therefore should not be used by them. If, however, you are not pregnant, you can use this product as often as you like. In clinical trials, both men and women have used cellulean and it has been proven completely safe.
