Cellulite and mesotherapy began being related when French physician
Dr. Michel Pistor performed clinical tests on humans around the
early 1950s. The procedure soon became accepted as a treatment for
cellulite and mesotherapy was coined by the French media.
In 1987, the specialty practice of mesotherapy was recognized by
the French Academy of Medicine.
When it comes to discussions about cellulite and mesotherapy, the
issue isn't if it works but how safe it is.
Cellulite and Mesotherapy - How Is It Performed?
Although a non-surgical treatment, mesotherapy involves injections.
But what a doctor or practitioner injects into a patient may vary.
Possible ingredients of a meso-cocktail are:
- Vitamins
- Plant extracts
- Off label drugs approved by the FDA
- Miscellaneous homeopathic medicines
The meso-cocktail will be injected into your fat, the goal being to
break up the fat cells and dissolve them. Each half-hour to
hour-long session involves rapid injections. It takes around 10
treatments to get good results.
Cellulite and Mesotherapy - Is It Really FDA-Approved?
When a practitioner tells you that the FDA approved his cellulite
and mesotherapy treatment, it means that some or all ingredients
that go into his meso-cocktail have been approved.
The FDA has NOT approved any meso-cocktail combination, nor has it
said anything about the safety or effectiveness of combining
ingredients.
Besides, it isn't really the job of the FDA to regulate US doctors
injecting meso-cocktails into their patients. It's the job of the
medical board of each state.
Here lies the problem of cellulite and mesotherapy: Since
mesotherapy generally uses off-label drugs approved by the FDA
(i.e., drugs approved for uses other than cellulite reduction), it
has become legal for doctors to use mesotherapy on patients.
Cellulite and Mesotherapy - Is It Really Safe?
The fact is you can't really be sure if the meso-cocktail
combination being used by your doctor is safe. Four important
questions surrounding cellulite and mesotherapy are difficult to
answer just yet:
- What if your doctor experiments with an unsafe combination?
- What if, although you aren't allergic to the individual drugs,
you react to certain drug combinations?
- What happens to your fat when it's dissolved?
- Is there a danger of the melted fat ending up in your liver?
But enough people are willing to take the risk so as to make
mesotherapy a growing practice. Doctors who practice it tout
impressive success rates of up to 90%. And enough Americans are
willing to pay the $800-$1,500 for 6-10 sessions for what its
advocates say are long-term results.
Next time we'll discuss yet another cellulite option to help you
make an informed decision about your own condition.

Caffeine And Cellulite - Does It Help Or Hurt?
The connection between caffeine and cellulite can mean either of
two quite opposite things...
1. Ingested caffeine makes the human body more prone to cellulite
formation
2. Caffeine creams and lotions, when rubbed on the skin, can reduce
the appearance of cellulite
Experts say that caffeine-filled beverages apparently cause
cellulite. They surmise that caffeine probably hampers circulation,
shooting up fat unevenly near the surface of the skin.
Doctors tell patients to lay off nicotine, fatty foods, and
caffeine, and cellulite will probably lessen or disappear.
Paradoxically, topical applications of caffeine are said to reduce
the appearance of cellulite. But, why?
Caffeine and Cellulite - Why the Opposite Reaction?
Caffeine in creams and lotions has the effect of tightening your
blood vessels. Tighter blood vessels lead to tighter skin,
temporarily making your skin look smoother.
But this reaction is temporary. The connection between caffeine and
cellulite does not work on the root cause - those fatty deposits
that cause a dimpled appearance on the skin.
Caffeine and Cellulite - What Do Manufacturers Say?
Some manufacturers of creams and lotions say that there is a direct
relationship between caffeine and cellulite reduction.
They say that caffeine creams can somehow flush fatty deposits from
your skin, ridding it of cellulite. Sort of a diuretic, but this
time instead of flushing out water from your body, the caffeine
will flush out fat and toxins.
It certainly sounds plausible. However, such claims have not yet
been proven through published clinical research. And you just have
to be a little skeptical that cosmetics companies have vastly
different formulations.
If any sort of caffeine formula were proven by science, you'd
expect some sort of uniformity among these commercial preparations.
In 2000, the European Journal of Dermatology reported that out of
the 32 creams and lotions they reviewed, the ingredients numbered
anywhere from four to 31. What's more, these concoctions were
hardly similar. Caffeine was found in only 14 preparations.
Caffeine and Cellulite - What Do Studies Say?
Scientists say that the cosmetics industry began connecting
caffeine and cellulite due to caffeine's distant association with
aminophylline, which is a bronchodilator.
Perhaps the industry figured that since it relaxes the lungs it
could remove stress from the muscles, minimizing the appearance of
cellulite. But so far, there is no independent clinical research
that connects caffeine and cellulite.
The only studies that have been conducted are by the makers of
creams and lotions that use caffeine as the active ingredient
against cellulite.
If you choose to use a cellulite cream, your best bet is to pick
one and try it out. Make sure you give it plenty of time to work
before giving up on it. If, after a few weeks of consistent use you
fail to see any results, move on to the next option. Reputable
companies will offer to let you return the product if it doesn't
work out for you... be sure to take them up on it.

Cellulite Reduction with Exercise
Today's topic is probably the least favorite for most people...
exercise. However, you owe it to yourself to give it a read because
the subject matter is really important to getting your cellulite
under control.
Beginning with the next edition we'll start to look at some ways
that aren't quite as hard as diet and exercise, OK?
Great, let's get started...
Cellulite Reduction - Do You Really Need To Exercise?
Something that works nearly every time to prevent the formation of
cellulite is exercise. Exercising allows you to reduce fat in your
body and lessen the chances of getting cellulite in the first
place. As you may recall, cellulite is primarily composed of fatty
deposits, hardened connective tissues, fluids and other waste
products in the body. While there is no definitive solution to
cellulite, exercise, a healthy diet and drinking lots of water can
help you prevent developing even more of it.
The Benefits of Exercise
Regular exercise is an effective way to burn excess body fat,
detoxify the skin, improve blood circulation and improve your
overall health. It's also proven to effectively reduce the dimpled
appearance caused by cellulite as well as prevent the condition
from becoming worse.
An ideal cellulite workout plan should include aerobic exercises
that help improve cardiovascular fitness such as brisk walking,
jogging, and swimming. In addition, using strength training
equipment that can help you build muscle in areas where cellulite
is a problem can work wonders as well. By building muscle you can
decrease the appearance of existing lumps and bumps significantly.
How Often Do I Need to Exercise?
If you have a lot of body fat to lose, you'll need to perform
workouts a bit more often than those with lower fat levels. A
combination of cardio and strength training activity is ideal. To
start, aim to lift weights or do resistance training a couple of
times each week and do cardio as much as you can - up to 5 or 6
days each week if possible. Treadmill walking, brisk outside
walking or bicycling for 30 to 45 minutes each session should serve
you well.
For those with less body fat to lose, cardio requirements will be
less but do not forego building up some lean muscle. It will make a
world of difference especially for getting rid of cellulite in the
hip and thigh areas.
Basic Workout Tips
- Before you get started, gather everything you need such as
workout clothes, dumbbells and anything else you need for working
out. Also get with your health professional to make sure you're
healthy enough to start exercising.
- Regardless of the routine you follow, always perform warm up
activities in preparation for the more difficult parts of your
exercise. You'll be less likely to injure yourself and your muscles
will be properly warmed up and perform better.
- Don't be afraid of lifting weights - you won't get big muscles.
Rather, you'll be able to create a lean and toned look that will
reduce the appearance of cellulite.
- To avoid muscle soreness, do some light stretching and cool down
activities when your main exercise is complete. This cool down
period also allows your heart rate to return to normal after cardio
sessions.
While exercise will help your cellulite reduction efforts a lot, by
combining it with the proper diet you'll increase your odds of
reducing cellulite significantly.
In the next several editions we'll examine other methods that can
be combined with diet and exercise to turbo-charge your cellulite
reduction efforts. See you then...

Cellulite 101 - Why Do I have "Orange Peel Skin"
Cellulite 101 - Your Guide to Understanding "Orange Peel Skin"
Most women are probably familiar with cellulite since about 90%
have it to some degree. Well, it's easy to describe what it looks like - you could describe it as an ugly puffy puckering on the
thighs, arms, hips and buttocks that looks like an orange peel.
Many however do not understand what it really is. Strictly, what is cellulite and how is it formed?
Definition and Common Names
Cellulite is a non-medical term that people use to refer to
deposits of subcutaneous fat, toxins and fibrous tissues that give the skin a dimpled appearance similar to the skin of an orange.
Besides cellulite, these fatty deposits are called a lot of names; among the most familiar are orange peel syndrome and cottage cheese skin. Regardless of the name, it's not pretty!
How It's Formed
Underneath the skin, there are fibrous tissues that are laced with fat cells that protect the muscles and various organs in the body. These fibrous tissues are surrounded by water that nourishes them and also helps in removing wastes from the body.
When the waste products are not removed, they accumulate, causing the fibrous tissues that connect the top layer of the skin to the muscles underneath to weaken, thicken and become less supple.
Consequently, the hardened tissues and fatty deposits pull down on the surface of the skin, giving the skin a lumpy appearance. Why
these tissues thicken and constrict is still unknown to
specialists.
Cellulite vs. Fat
Although it can be hard to distinguish cellulite from normal fat, the two are not the same as regular fat provides protection to the organs and insulates the body while cellulite has no positive use. Moreover, layers of fat appear smoothly while cellulite is lumpy. Cellulite also appears only in some parts of the body such as the thighs, arms, buttocks and breasts while fats are everywhere.
Caused By Overweight and Obesity?
It is often believed that overweight and obese women get cellulite but this is only a misconception. Anyone can have a cellulite - men and women alike, overweight or not. Cellulite formation, however, is believed to be greatly influenced by improper diet; hence, those who eat a lot of fatty foods are prone to forming cellulite.
Lifestyle also is an influencing factor so even healthy women and men can have cellulite.
Now that we have the basics out of the way, we'll focus on various methods for getting rid of cellulite in the next several issues.
