Cellulite Acupuncture

Cellulite is a common term used to describe superficial pockets of trapped fat, which cause uneven dimpling or “orange peel” skin. It appears in 90% of post-adolescent women and is rarely seen in men. 

Common but not exclusive areas where cellulite is found, are the thighs, buttocks, and the abdomen. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not related to obesity, since it occurs in overweight, normal, and thin women.Predisposing Factors: 

• Poor circulation of lymph due to excess of fat, 
• Lack of exercise 
• Fluid retention contributes to cellulite formation. This may explain its formation in some women who are not overweight.
• Rich foods. 
• Excess of tobacco and alcohol.. 
• May also be hereditary.

Cellulite Acupuncture

This specially designed treatment helps to reduce and eliminate the unsightly appearance of cellulite through an intensive system that cleanses the body to improve cellular integrity and circulation.

Based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Natural Health, Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin, disposable needles into acupuncture points located on and around the troubled areas.

Acupuncture for Cellulite Reduction will help to:

• Prevent further accumulation of fat deposits
• Increase circulation
• Boost fat metabolism
• Improve texture and muscle tone
• Detoxify skin tissue
• Helps to eliminate "orange peel" appearance of the skin
• Smooth, firm and tighten the skin

What does the Treatment entail?

Acupuncture treatments for cellulite are performed by inserting needles along specific meridians, which may vary based on the size, age and genetics of the patient. Individual needs will also determine whether the use of electronic stimulation is needed. In a traditional acupuncture treatment, needles may be inserted directly on the areas with cellulite or in areas distal, or further from the center of the body. Both methods are considered appropriate in the treatment of cellulite. If the practitioner determines that electronic stimulation is needed, small electrodes which send small micro-currents to the surrounding area will be attached to the needles. The average acupuncture treatment lasts between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on need.

What is the Course of Treatment?

A typical course of treatment consists of a two to three month period. Ideally, for optimal results, consecutive sessions within a week are recommended. However, depending on the individual, these sessions may vary.

Each session lasts approximately one hour and best of all, there is no pain, no down-time, no side effects and no risk of disfigurement or scarring.

Results to treatment will vary depending on the individuals willingness to follow the prescribed protocol, which also involves, diet and exercise.

Cellulite Acupuncture is ideal for any and all health-conscious individuals in any age group. This is the safe, effective and natural treatment method to help minimize or reduce not only cellulite but excessive weight as well.
