The Fight Against Cellulite


With Summer right around the corner, many women are scrambling to look their best in their swimsuits this season.  For 90% of those women, a panic attack may be in order because of something you may or may not be familiar with….CELLULITE!

Unfortunately, no one is immune – not even beauties such as Uma Thurman, Kim Cattrall or Kim Kardashian. While men can have cellulite too, women are much more likely to become victims simply due to the distribution of fat, muscle and connective tissue in the skin.

Although the cause of cellulite cannot be pinpointed to any one factor, most attribute it to a combination of things, such as:  genetics, diet, hormones, skin elasticity and lifestyle.

Unfortunately, a permanent cure for cellulite is still to be found, however, there are a few different ways we can  camouflage it:

·       Use a self tanner to even out skin tone and blend in the tiny imperfections. Check out this post on our very own recommendations for the best self-tanners.  (insert link to last year’s blog)

·       Endermologie, a machine assisted deep tissue lipomassage, helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. Sessions should be done at least 1-2 times per week for a total of 10-14 treatments to see optimal results. We have many patients here at Aesthetic Enhancements that have been extremely pleased with their results. Call today to set up an appointment to speak to Amanda, our paramedical aesthetician about how endermologie can help you treat your areas of concern!

·       A confident attitude! Everything looks better when you hold your head high with a big smile on your face.
