Cellulite busting machines – can they work?

 

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a machine that would give you a treatment that would instantly dissolve all your cellulite so that it disappeared and never came back? Yes, but dream on. But there is a machine in the USA that has actually been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that has looked at the evidence and says it works “for a temporary reduction of the appearance of celluliteâ€. So, it may not be a miracle machine, but it must do something.

 

The machine has a hand held massager that gives a deep massage to the areas that are most badly affected by cellulite. Deep massage is known to help reduce cellulite as it tones the skin, improves blood circulation and it helps break up fat cells. The machine also emits light – laser light – that acts beneath the epidermis, the top layer of skin, acting directly on the layer of skin where the cellulite is. The manufacturers say that this also helps break up the bulges of fat that cause the typical orange peel skin of cellulite.

 

The first machine has now made it to the UK and people at a clinic in Chester have been able to get treatments since May 2009. It’s an anti cellulite technique that I haven’t tested out, so I can’t provide any personal recommendations, but the explanations of how it is supposed to work seem believable.

 

Cellulite massagers are available in many shapes and forms and I find that using a hand held massager with my favourite anti cellulite cream makes my skin feel great, helps tone up those flabby areas and I think it does get rid of cellulite – not completely maybe, but it’s a great improvement. You can do the massage yourself but it’s good to a partner to work on those hard to reach areas!
