A way to get rid of cellulite permanently? Yes, finally.
90% of post-pubescent women deal with the heartbreak of the ugly, bumpy appearance of cellulite, a condition that is usually inherited and for which, traditionally, there has been no remedy. Cellulite is caused when very fine fibrous strands connected to underlying tissue, called septae, have lost their flexibility and will not stretch to accommodate the increases in body mass. As a result, they hold skin in a fixed position, causing the skin’s surface to bulge out giving the appearance of lumpy fat spots in those areas.

Procedures to date, such as endermologie or cellulite creams, provide little or no improvement and clinical studies published in the highly respected journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (Vol. 104. No.4), the most widely read plastic surgery journal in the world, conclude that ‘Cellulite treatments with endermologie or cellulite creams provide little or no improvement’. The study concludes that neither aminophylline creams nor endermologie is effective in the treatment of cellulite.

Liposuction, which sucks out the fatty deposits from the deeper skin layers, treats the symptoms of the problem, not the cause, so these treatment must be repeated multiple times incurring costs, down time and surgical risks.

It is now possible that the days of embarrassment and frustration about the bumpy appearance of cellulite are over. A new treatment for the permanent removal of cellulite was recently highlighted on Fox News. It is called RejuveSkin Treatment and is performed under light sedation, using a several custom designed, patent-pending electronic instruments to remove the traces of cellulite…permanently. This procedure is not liposuction. It is a less invasive surgical procedure that does not involve the suction of fatty material to remove body weight. Rather it removes the cause of cellulite, the septae, which results in a permanent solution to the problem. As in all surgical procedures, even in simple procedures such as this one, some bruising and swelling may occur and last for several weeks, but the final result leaves patients virtually cellulite-free. The cost of this procedure is about $4000.

The RejuveSkin Treatment procedure was developed by a triple-board certified aesthetic plastic surgeon, Stephen X. Guinta, M. D., F.A.C. S., a highly respected aesthetic plastic surgeon with over 30 years of surgical experience. The treatment is available only at authorized RejuveSkin Clinics located in Alexandria (Washington, D.C.), Honolulu, Hawaii, and South Miami Beach, Florida. Additional clinics will be opening in six states in the next few months. For more information about this treament, visit RejuveSkin Clinics web site.

Cellulite: Can anything be done about it?
Cellulite is found in both overweight and slim women but excess weight makes cellulite worse. It is considered a normal occurrence resulting from uneven fatty deposits, mostly below the waistline. Cellulite is the accumulation of fat, fluid and toxins that become trapped in the deeper level of your skin. Cellulite is mostly a women's problem. Men tend to have lower percentages of body fat than women.

Most of the treatments advertised today that include pills, suction machines, creams and wrapping the skin are not really effective solutions to getting rid of cellulite.

Liposuction can surgically remove fat cells but it is not a permanent solution and requires repeating the treatment over and over again.

New medical procedures are being developed to surgically remove the causes of cellulite that in turn eliminate the future formation of cellulite fat cells.

If you are prone to cellulite, lifestyle changes through diet and exercise are a way to help reduce the fat cell formation. Exercise such as swimming, walking and stretching, keep muscles in tone and connective tissue fibers healthy and increases blood circulation. A good anti-cellulite diet includes eating low-fat, low-sugar, high fiber foods especially fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Here are more things you can do to reduce the formation cellulite.

• Drink lots of water. Water flushes toxins out of the body.
• Have regular bowel movements
*Don’t smoke. Smoking causes poor blood circulation and contributes to premature aging of the skin.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
• Avoid heavily processed and sugary foods.
•Avoid salty foods as they increase water retention and make cellulite appear worse.
• Take Vitamin C.
• Maintain a normal, healthy body weight. Yo-yoing weight with diets make cellulite worse.
• Boost your circulation by using a brush, loofah or a massage glove daily for at least 5 minutes.
• Massage your skin with almond oil. This may improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
