How to end cellulite: options according to the degree

In order to definitively eliminate cellulite, it will be necessary to adapt the diet and exercise, adopting these practices as a new lifestyle that should be followed forever, so that cellulite after being eliminated does not return. But for extra help there are several creams and aesthetic treatments that can be used against cellulite with great results.

The first step is to identify the degree of cellulite you have and its locations by taking photos to be able to compare the evolution of the results. It is normal for women to have varying degrees of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs, and for this reason, the aesthetic treatment can be done in the form of a protocol that involves 1 or more treatments.

See in the images below the appearance of cellulite that is more similar to yours:

Grade 1 cellulite treatment

The treatment for cellulite grade 1, which is perceived when the skin is pressed, can be done at home with a weekly exfoliation with coffee grounds and the application of creams for cellulite, such as Liposyne by Vichy or Cellu-sculpt by Avon, 1 to 2 times a day, every day.

To make the homemade treatment for cellulite with coffee, just mix a little coffee grounds with a little bit of liquid soap and rub the areas with cellulite, using quick and circular movements. This activates the local blood circulation and drains excess fluids, helping to eliminate cellulite.

Another option is the Beurer cellulite massager, for example, as the massage promotes the stimulation of blood circulation, eliminating cellulite.

Grade 2 cellulite treatment

The treatment for cellulite grade 2, which is characterized by slight ripples on the skin when the woman is standing, can be done with weekly sessions of lymphatic drainage, as it helps to eliminate excess fluids that favor cellulite.

In addition, anti-cellulite creams can also be used daily, such as cellulite-reducing cream Savre or Goodbye Cellulite from Nívea, for example.

Mary Kay's cellulite treatment is also a great option, as it consists of 2 creams, one to be applied during the day and the other at night, which help fight cellulite, as well as the massager that should also be used in cellulite grade 2.

Grade 3 cellulite treatment

The treatment for grade 3 cellulite, which is characterized by holes in the skin when the woman is standing, can be done with aesthetic treatments such as:

Lymphatic drainage should also complement the treatment, as well as the exercises to be able to completely eliminate the fat nodules from the treated region.

Exercises to do at home

Those who do not have time to exercise daily in a gym can choose to ride a bicycle, rollerblade, walk or run because these exercises also help to fight excess weight, eliminating accumulated fat, contributing to the elimination of cellulite. In addition, you can do the following localized exercises:

Squat

Pelvic lift

Exercise 1 - Squat

Standing, keep your legs slightly apart and bend your knees slightly, keeping your feet flat on the floor. Make the movement as if you were going to sit in a chair and slowly return to the starting position, contracting your butt muscles a lot. Do this exercise for 1 minute, rest for 30 seconds and repeat the exercise for another 1 minute.

Exercise 2 - Pelvic lift

Lying on your back, bend your legs and let your feet flat on the floor. Lift your butt off the ground as far as you can without taking your feet off the floor, contracting your butt muscles a lot. Do this exercise for 1 minute, rest for 30 seconds and repeat the exercise for another 1 minute.

A trainer will be able to indicate a complete series of exercises that can be done in the gym or at home, to improve the quality of life, eliminate fat and enhance the treatment against cellulite and a physiotherapist specialized in dermato functional physiotherapy will be able to evaluate and indicate the most appropriate cellulite treatment individually.

Adequate food

To combat cellulite it is also important to adapt the diet avoiding eating foods rich in fat and sugar, preferring healthy foods such as vegetables, leafy vegetables, whole grains, always in the simple version, without ready-made sauces.
