Cellulite will affect most women, usually sometime after the age of 25. It is a lasting change that occurs when the fat cells begin to grow in size and they start to push through a mesh of connecting fibres. The lumps that is known as cellulite is these fat cells protruding upwards and bulging against the skin from underneath.

The problem can affect women of any age. And we say women because only less than 1 per cent of men have the condition. Males have a different fat structure that is susceptible to cellulite. Genetic plays a large role in developing of the condition; so if your mother has a cellulite problem then you are highly likely to have it too. Smoking, alcohol, an unhealthy lifestyle and poor diet are also known to be factors that influence its appearance.

Anti cellulite cream is a heavily market cellulite treatment with over $150 million spent on them in the USA. But whether they work or are value for money varies from expert to expert and they haven’t been without their controversies. For example, Estee Lauder was recently reprimanded by the Advertising Standards Authority in the United Kingdom for misleading customers about how their Body Performance Anti Cellulite Visible Contouring Serum worked.

Another treatment is massage, often conducted by using a machine. The idea is that the look of the cellulite is improved by softening the fat cells and fibrous bands. Again, experts are divided at whether it works or not but anecdotal evidence suggests that many women are happy with the remedy. A single treatment on a machine is often priced at over $90.

Some women think that liposuction can be an effective cellulite treatment. However, plastic surgeons say you must be careful as it can actually make the condition even worse. You should also consider the costs of such surgery and the risks associated with it.

In conclusion, experts are divided over whether the various cellulite treatments can make a difference. According to research funded by cosmetic companies, 83 per cent of women thought that cellulite cream worked for them and 85 per cent believed that massage was successful. If you are to believe this research then the lotions and massage are well worth a look. Finally, you could try exercise to get rid of cellulite but many people can’t continue an exercise program long enough to see the results.
