Cellulite creams: should emphasis be placed on water retention, fat reduction, skin firming of fibrosis?
The four main visual aspects of cellulite are hypodermal fat accumulation, water retention/puffiness, skin looseness and fibrosis. Hypodermal fat accumulation combined with fibrosis is what makes fat globules protrude from the skin surface. Fat pushes up and fibrotic collagen fibres push down, resulting in the mattress effect. Water retention makes cellulite more visible by increasing volume in the hypodermis and dermis. Likewise, loose skin makes it easier for the fat globules to push up…
Is cellulite permanent? Is there any permanent treatment for cellulite?
Do ultrasonic waves break down fat and cellulite?
In the instant gratification world we live today in the West, where everything is instant and miraculous if you have money to pay for it, it seems that many people are obsessed in magically “breaking down” fat “forever”. And breaking down means zapping fat with a laser, ultrasound or radiofrequency device or mechanically breaking it with a therapist’s fingers or with a suction / vibration / shockwave machine, with the fat then evaporating into thin air forever so one can eat as much as much as they want from then on, without putting on any more fat or cellulite on their thighs, stomach etc.

Can you get rid of cellulite?
In most cases the phrase “to get rid of cellulite” means nothing. This is because established cellulite causes permanent changes in the connective tissue of the skin which cannot be completely eliminated, with any method. And that doesn’t just apply to advanced cellulite such as the one in the picture, but also to to quite light cellulite, which however, has been established for some time…
Hyaluronic acid: water retention, anti-aging, cellulite and weight gain
Everyone is talking about hyaluronic acid. I have been researching and formulating skin products with hyaluronic acid (HA) since 2003 and I have seen HA starting to gain wider popularity from 2010 onwards. In the last five years hyaluronic acid has become the most well-known cosmetic active ingredient. But what is hyaluronic acid, what does it do, how does it work and what is really the best type of hyaluronic acid?
Caffeine, thermogenesis, weight loss and cellulite
A study has recently reported that coffee could help you lose fat by kickstarting a process called thermogenesis in humans. Thermogenesis is basically the process of burning fat in one of two special types of fat tissue called ‘brown fat’ and ‘beige fat’. But what is brown fat and what in God’s name is beige fat? And did you know that there is also a thing called white fat?
Omega-3 fish oil vs omega 3-6-9 supplements for cellulite
Contrast showers, cold showers, sauna/steam room or cold plunge/ice baths for cellulite? What's best?
Everyone knows about the benefits of cold showers after a workout or after a long day, but few have heard about the even more pronounced benefits of contrast showering, and even fewer have tried them. However, contrast showers, as we will see are much better in all respects than plain cold showers, especially when it comes to cellulite removal and skin firming.

Cellulite, thermogenesis and brown fat
Have you ever heard of white fat, beige fat or brown fat? I know it may sound weird, but indeed fat comes in three colours and each of them is different. White fat tissue is known to store fat, making you, well, fat. Could you lose that fat, as well as cellulite, by turning your white fat tissue a few shades darker, i.e turning it into "beige fat" or perhaps even “brown fat”?

Olive oil and cellulite
A lot of people think that since olive oil is healthy (indeed), they can consume large amounts without getting any weight gain or cellulite (very wrong). The same applies to the other unjustifiably overhyped oil of recent years, coconut oil, which is a matter for a whole separate article.) But is all this hype justified? Let’s see how good or olive oil is for your figure, and especially for cellulite, which is the subject of this blog…
Kim Kardashian, cellulite and skims: hype and reality

Hydroxyproline: an important cellulite / skin firming cream active
Collagen is a protein that contains higher amounts of proline, glycine and hydroxyproline than other body proteins. Hydroxyproline, specifically, is only found in collagen in the body - nowhere else and it is THE most important aminoacid in that protein. Studies have shown that a hydroxyproline peptide stimulates collagen I and III synthesis, as well as elastin synthesis. In addition it inhibits collagen breakdown…
For cellulite, prevention is better than cure: start taking care of your skin now
Cellulite and skin looseness are the result of age and/or an unhealthy cellulite. Both aesthetic concerns are interconnected and in most women they appear concurrently. Sometimes we see women (and some men) with a lot of cellulite and little skin looseness and vice versa, but usually there is a mix of both. And both of these issues appear gradually with age, which is absolutely normal. However, poor nutritional choices (too much sugar, carbs and fat and too little protein, vegetables, fruits and herbs), a sedentary lifestyle, as well as smoking and the contraceptive pill, greatly accelerate the appearance of cellulite and skin looseness…
Natural butt lift with gluteus exercises and RF treatments: how to achieve it
A Brazilian bum: everyone would like to have one, yet few would be prepared to go for surgery to achieve it, hence the popularity of so many “non-surgical bum lift treatments”. Lack of exercise, excess calorie intake, sugar intake, sitting down for long periods of time and normal ageing, all result in skin looseness, the accumulation of excess fat, cellulite and water retention on the buttock area. The result is a saggy bottom with puffy, spongy skin…
