What causes cellulite?
More than 90% of women at any age can find themselves with cellulite, or ‘orange peel skin’. It isn’t caused by an especially lumpy kind of fat but by the way the tissue just under your skin traps normal body fat. The collagen fibres that connect your muscles to your skin are arranged in a honeycomb pattern with fat stored in each of the chambers. It shows up mostly in the hips, buttocks, and thighs, where fat tends to accumulate.
Men, even obese men, rarely have cellulite because their skin is thicker than women's and their collagen fibres are arranged in a horizontal criss-cross pattern that holds fat firmly in check rather than letting it press against the skin.
Cellulite is caused by bad eating habits, lack of exercise, stress and smoking. To keep it at bay you must maintain a healthy lifestyle and ensure that you use correct body care products. You can gradually get rid of cellulite by detoxing and speeding up your metabolism and a proper combination of diet, vigorous massage and exercise may help its appearance. Talk to the cellulite experts at your local salon providing Totalcare treatments who can use a range of treatments to help you to get rid of unsightly cellulite.
The experts recommend:
Eosonic therapy is a combination of 4 treatments that together give you all the gain and none of the pain, helping you slim, tone and target the specific problem areas of your body. Not only is it for weight loss and cellulite treatment, but it is a personalised and stress free therapy. Firstly ultrasound metabolises fats and reduces cellulite. Then electro stimulation shapes and tones up muscles in specific problem areas. Next, direct heat enlarges the capillaries to make it easier for the toxins to leave while colour therapy improves your overall bodily function.

IsoSonic system is a combination of 4 therapies that target all types of localised fat and cellulite. Ultrasound breaks down cellulite while infrared liquefies hard fats trapped inside the skin. Vacuum rollers lift and drain the broken down cellulite and toxins, helping your own natural lymph to take them away. The appearance and firmness of the skin tissue is further improved through chromotherapy which stimulates collagen and elastin production and new cells. IsoSonic is proven to treat all stages of cellulite and fatty deposits. It is an intensive but comfortable treatment with long lasting results and is ideal for remodelling or localised anti – cellulite slimming.
