Reduce Cellulite With Topical Treatments: Creams, Gels And Lotions
Nivea Good-bye Cellulite Topical Treatments The following tip will address your questions about topical treatment's role in reducing the appearance of cellulite. As far as I'm concerned, anything that increases circulation to the area will help. Numerous products are available to consumers that are promoted in the area of “skin care products” and/or “thigh creams.” Some of the claims are: § Increased collagen production § Strengthening collagen and elastin fibers § Cellulite reduction through cellular stimulation to release stored fat § Weight reduction through appetite suppression, increased metabolism, and fat burning § Reduced water retention. Before you use any new topical treatment, you should “test” the product on a small area of skin and give yourself sufficient time to observe any reactions. You should also carefully read product labels and follow directions. If it contains an allergen that you already know affects you, obviously you won’t want to use that particular product. The ingredients in these creams and lotions contain a variety of ingredient ranging from caffeine to different herbs. While some studies have shown inconclusive results, others cast doubts on the effectiveness of topical treatments. If a cream or lotion increases circulation, it may help the treated area to appear smoother. Some dermatologists and clinicians have done studies to see if topical treatments are effective in treating the appearance of cellulite. One such practice conducted an abstract study wherein they used a “double-blinded randomized trial.” This means that neither the clinicians conducting the test nor the subjects, knew which of a particular topical agent they were testing. Twenty women with a moderate degree of cellulite on the buttocks and/or thighs were entered into a four-week, double-blinded, randomized trial where an anti-cellulite cream was applied to the affected sites on a nightly basis. Some of them were randomly selected to use a neoprene garment on either leg. High quality digital photography was used to photograph them from different angles before and after four weeks of treatment. 17 of the subjects actually completed the study. Of those 17, 76% saw overall improvement in their cellulite. 54% reported even greater improvement on the thigh that used the special garment. The dermatological evaluators found an improvement in 65% of treated legs with the garment and 59% of treated legs without the garment. Further, the evaluators found the thighs using the garment showed greater improvement than those that did not in 65% of subjects. The topical agent used in this study was found to be effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite and the neoprene garment enhanced the effect of this topical agent in cellulite reduction. The dermatological evaluators claim that the success of this study validates the garment used to enhance the topical agent used. I hope that this information clears things up for you.
