The Response of Traditional Medicine
While magazines, drugstores and the Internet are full of pills, potions, scrubbing devices and treatments that promise to get rid cellulite, the main traditional modern medical treatment for cellulite is liposuction. Although there are many different types of this procedure, all involve surgical removal of body fat. However, it is in fact a serious surgical procedure that may involve a painful recovery, and has the potential for rare but serious, and occasionally fatal, complications. In addition, while the procedure does indeed get rid of the fat, it does not always improve the appearance of the cellulite.
Other, less serious treatments, such as suction massage, which uses rollers and a low-pressure vacuum to eliminate cellulite, may also be recommended. Exercise and weight control may also be suggested to prevent cellulite, as well as to keep it from getting worse. In addition to the risks that any type of surgery entails, the problem with these treatment approaches is that they fail to get at the root of the condition—poor circulation and lymph stagnation. Fortunately, treatment options that address these root causes are available.
