" Cellulite Treatment: Discover the Top 3 Massages to Eliminate the “Orange Peel” Effect"
Want to Eliminate the “Orange Peel” Effect on Your Skin? In this article, we reveal the Top 3 Most Effective Cellulite Massage Treatments. Discover the techniques applied and learn how to achieve firmer and more even skin.
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite, medically known as gynoid lipodystrophy, is a change in body contour caused by fat accumulation in deposits beneath the skin. When pulled down by connective tissue, the skin develops a dimpled appearance.
Common causes of cellulite include:
- Excess weight
- Poor blood circulation
- Stress
- Unbalanced diet
- Fluid retention
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Wearing tight clothing
- Smoking
- Age
Despite these common causes, the truth is that cellulite affects 95% of women after puberty, including those who are slim. These statistics highlight the importance of cellulite treatments, especially for preventing its progression.
What Does Cellulite Treatment Involve?
Cellulite Treatment aims to give the skin a firmer and smoother appearance. Anti-cellulite massages use quick, deep techniques that stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, helping to remove fat deposits and detoxify the body.
Cellulite Treatments are most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.
What are the Best Cellulite Treatments?
We’ve selected 3 Cellulite Treatments that use different massage techniques. When done regularly, these treatments reduce the “orange peel” effect, providing firmer skin and a more even appearance. Discover them below:
Green Tea Cellulite Treatment
Using green tea in cellulite treatments stimulates circulation, speeds up metabolism, and eliminates toxins from the body.
This Green Tea Cellulite Treatment, which includes an anti-cellulite massage, reduces cellulite accumulation. The therapist begins the ritual with a laminary salt scrub, a mineralised seaweed salt that prepares the skin for the green tea wrap. Following this, an anti-cellulite massage is performed.
The results include reduced cellulite appearance and skin that is more toned and rejuvenated.
This Cellulite Reduction Treatment also uses green tea. It begins with a scrub to prepare the skin for the next steps: wrapping the body in green tea and massaging the feet’s reflex points linked to excretory organs to stimulate detoxification. This is followed by a deep anti-cellulite massage to activate circulation.
Cold Stone and Drainage Massage Cellulite Treatment
Lymphatic drainage massage is an excellent complement for Cellulite Treatment as it addresses one of its main causes—fluid retention. Vigorous and deep movements stimulate circulation and drainage. When performed with cold stones, the lymphatic drainage massage also provides a toning effect.
If your cellulite is concentrated in areas like the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, we recommend trying this Cellulite Treatment, which combines drainage massage with cold stones and a green tea wrap. Besides reducing the “orange peel” effect, this treatment removes accumulated fat from these body areas.
What are the Benefits of Having a Cellulite Treatment at a Spa?
Opting for a Cellulite Treatment at a spa offers several advantages worth noting:
Expertise of Therapists and Personalised Advice
When you choose to have a Cellulite Treatment at a spa, you benefit from the expertise of therapists who possess specialised knowledge of various techniques. This allows them to recommend the treatment best suited to your needs.
Use of Facilities that Enhance Results
Furthermore, spa facilities, such as water circuits, saunas, hammams, or Turkish baths, can enhance the effects of cellulite treatments. These facilities extend the sense of well-being and contribute to improving your skin’s appearance.
For example, the sauna is an excellent ally in cellulite treatment as it activates and improves blood circulation while helping to eliminate toxins. The same applies to the hammam or Turkish bath. Water circuits, meanwhile, help tone the skin, providing more firmness.
All these facilities are available for free when you have a Cellulite Treatment at a spa.
