How Can I Get Rid of Unsightly Cellulite?

Anti-Cellulite Sculpting Body Lotion from SeneGence is my new best friend!
That question of how to get rid of cellulite has been plaguing me for as long as I can remember. I’ve also wondered why it is that us women came to be so lucky? After all, the dimpled, lumpy looking cellulite is generally a female’s fate simply because our connective tissue, muscle and fat are typically distributed differently than a man’s. We are the fortunate ones that get those lovely fat deposits pushing on connective tissue, distorting it, and giving us…cellulite! Even thin people can have it, simply because of how stored fat pushes on the connective tissue. Well, the connections in my tissue must be pretty spread out, cause my body would make the perfect specimen for the study of cellulite! It made no difference that I ate a healthy diet and got regular aerobic exercise, I still had gobs of the ugly stuff! Now I have a Cellulite Warrior on my side…SeneGence’s new SeneDerm Solutions Anti-Cellulite Body Sculpting Lotion.
I’ve been using SeneGence products for 7 years now, and I have never tried one that did not live up to the claims made about it. Their new Anti-Cellulite product is no different. We all know that anyone can say anything about a product, but until we actually try it, it’s just another product. But, I know that if SeneGence makes a claim, it will have the independent lab research and, the company philosophy, to stand behind it. I was not brave enough to take before photos to share with the world. But, I can share my journey with words. My experience with this new cellulite Warrior was thus:
I ordered the new SeneDerm Solutions Anti-Cellulite Body Sculpting Lotion the day it launched. It arrived a few long days later. The following morning I took my shower as usual and applied the lotion as I do any SeneGence body lotion; using less than I think I need, because a little goes a long way. I expected the fire and then the freeze that I’ve had from other lotions that claim to rid me of the meddlesome beast that is cellulite. Nothing. Just smelled nice and felt soft. I was thinking, “Great, could this be the first product they’ve had that doesn’t do what they say?” Then I remembered that the lotions that burned and then gave me chills hadn’t really worked, so hope was not lost.
I continued this morning ritual for one week, then, I read the directions. You can use it at night too! Well, after week three, I started to notice a bit of a change. (The bottle says it could take two months). Well, that change continues and I am one happy girl! I have definitely seen a reduction in the appearance of my cellulite! It has definitely diminished everywhere that I have used the lotion (you’ll have to use your imagination here). I do not expect this product to completely eliminate my cellulite. No product applied on top of the skin can do that. However; I have seen a definite change and I will continue to fight the battle of the bulge with my new SeneGence Anti-Cellulite Warrior!

What options now exist for getting rid of cellulite?
Methylxanthines: A group of chemicals that include caffeine, aminophylline and theophylline. They have the ability to break down stores of fat. Significant fat loss will not be achieved with Methyxanthines because of limited concentration and time on skin, but the appearance of cellulite may be reduced.
Collagenase: Collegan is a component of connective tissue. Collagenase is a naturally-occurring enzyme in our bodies that breaks down collagen. Collagenase is injected to try and diminish the appearance of cellulite. Collagenase treatment is still experimental.
Dietary Supplements: These are not subject to jurisdiction by the FDA, so, it is hit or miss with both safety and effectiveness.
Massage Treatments: You know, those fat moving vacuum machines that pull the skin and help to re-deposit the fat, lessening the distortion of the connective tissue by the fat. Regular maintenance treatments are needed, and it is a pricey solution. At least one method using this type of machine is approved by the FDA, the Endermologie treatment method.
Mesotherapy: This is injecting drugs or other substances into the tissue affected by cellulite. Sometimes drugs that are FDA approved for other conditions are used to treat cellulite in this manner. They may use herbs and vitamins as well.
Light or Laser thereapy: TriActive treatment is one method that combines light therapy with message or suction. This low level laser treatment combined with message therapy requires repeated treatments and an entire program typically costs thousands of dollars.
Obviously, the best way to battle cellulite is with diet and exercise, but when they doesn’t work, we can bring in re-enforcements with SeneDerm Solutions Anti-Cellulite Body Sculpting Lotion!
