As more spa treatments for cellulite are being offered, many people are wondering whether or not these treatments actually work.  The truth is that most women, even those who are careful in their diet and exercise regularly, have cellulite.  While reducing body fat will make cellulite less pronounced, many doctors posit that most women simply have a genetic predisposition to the appearance of cellulite.  Everything from body scrubs to laser treatments are being promoted as the key to ending cellulite forever, and more women of all ages are considering undergoing there procedures in the hope of becoming cellulite free.

Cellulite appears because connective tissues in the skin have become inelastic, causing the skin to pull down into a body’s fat.   The pockets these tissues create are the reason for the dimply look of cellulite.  While a topical reduction in the amount of fat in affected areas through diet or toning exercises will make the dimples less obvious, it may be impossible to eliminate them completely.  The fact that cellulite is so common is little consolation for most women.  In response, a number of new skin treatments are available that claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite through increased circulation and restoring the elasticity to the tissues that are the root cause. Rejuvi cream may even be a good example here.

The least invasive of these options are body scrubs that are offered at many spas as well as some full service health clubs.  Most scrubs contain abrasive particles that will increase circulation in the affected areas.  These particles are included to help break down and loosen pockets of fat, as well as increased blood flow to the area as a catalyst for fat loss.  To aid in this process, many spas will apply heat to the thighs during application, and give deep tissue massages to free fat from the taunt connective tissue.  The average person will need multiple regular sessions before the full results are seen.
