I was watching a daily show on American TV called The Early Show and found a particularly interesting subject on anti cellulite treatment. The treatment ideas stemmed from caffeine and the products which used caffeine in the treatment for cellulite. The show caught my attention not only because of the title , Weapons of Mass Reduction (haha), but because volunteers tested the products and reported their findings back to The Early Show.
The anti cellulite treatment creams used by the volunteers all contained caffeine and the volunteers were between the ages of 30 to 60. Each volunteer tried two different products, however I am only going to mention the products which the volunteers recommended. You can read the whole article here.
The only two products recommended by the volunteers were Fat Girl Slim– Qusome-Encapsulated Caffeine and Bliss the Love Handler. Both products showed reduced visibility of problem areas for the women who used them correctly.
The dermatologist recommended ingredients which anti cellulite cream buyers should be on the look out for: caffeine, coffee berry, retinol, AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) and herbal cellulite lotion.
To understand how cellulite creams work it is important know what cellulite is and how it is affected by fat cells. Cellulite is the dimpled flesh that is mostly found on women suffer and usually occurs on the areas of their buttocks and upper thighs. While its completely natural and very common, I use the term suffer because most of us that have the problem are at least mildly annoyed. You don’t have to be overweight to have cellulite, but it is less visible for those women with thinner figures. While there is no cure for cellulite there are treatments that reduce the visibility of the dimples. Cellulite occurs when the connective tissue surrounding fat becomes thin and the fat pokes through the thinned tissue. While it happens in men as well as women, it is more visible for women because they have a thinner outer skin as well as thinner connective tissue. Women also generally have a larger amount of fat cells in the upper thighs and buttocks area.
The caffeine in cellulite creams claims to be an anti cellulite treatment by reducing the size of fat cells within the targeted area. In lab tests caffeine was shown to reduce fat cells. In tests with women about two thirds of the women testing the creams said they had visible results.
Its important to note that in order for creams to treat cellulite effectively the user must continuously apply the cream.
