Cottage cheese, hail damaged, mattress skinned are some of the common terms that are used to describe cellulite skin. Cellulite skin is more common in women then in men and happens on the lower pelvic region, the thighs and the buttocks. Cellulite skin is more common in women then in men and it is because the texture of the skin of women is different from that of men. Cellulite skin starts to appear when a girl is in her teenage and going through puberty. A woman skin differs from that of a man that the skin tissues are fairly inflexible and as a woman gains weight the skin does not expand and the fatty deposits tend to stick out giving the orange peel look or the cottage cheese look to the skin. The word 'cellulite' made its appearance in the twenties in UK and became popular in the sixties in America. Some women are so ashamed of their cellulite skin that they don’t wear swimming costumes, short dresses or skirt. Some are so obsessed with trying to get rid of the cellulite that they can spend a lifetime trying to get rid of it. The sad part about getting cellulite treatment is that it does not go away and one has to keep going back for treatment.

Cosmetic companies, doctors using liposuction and endermologie treatments are all telling people who have cellulite how they can get rid of it by using a cosmetic or a skincare product or getting one of the other treatments done. So far the effective cellulite reduction treatment is cellulite reduction endermologie. Just to explain exactly what is endermologie? It is a method invented by French plastic surgeons of using two rollers to flatten the fatty deposits and to redistribute the fat under the skin getting rid of the dimpling look. Endermologie generally requires a person to have 14 to 28 sessions of 45 minutes duration each to see the affects of the treatment. After getting endermologie one still needs to keep going back periodically. In liposuction the fat under the upper skin layer is reduced and it doesn't work very well for cellulite as in this the fat is deposited on top just under the upper layer of the skin.

If one wants to know what is the best cellulite treatment? The simple answer is that it depends on the amount of cellulite skin that one has. If the cellulite is less then one can use endermologie treatment to get it cleared although one may need to keep getting this repeated. In case it is extensive one should get professional advice on it. Eat healthy, exercise regularly; reduce stress and drink plenty of water and this will help in reducing cellulite. There are many sites on the internet that offer cellulite treatment by massage, etc. but there are no surveys or polls on what is the best cellulite treatment to get as it all depends on a persons weight, physical fitness and living and eating habits. Most professionals say that thirty to forty five is the best age bracket to get treatment for cellulite if one wants to.

Cellulite should not be mistaken with cellulite which is a skin infection of the underlying tissues. Being overweight is not a contributing factor to cellulite. Most professionals agree that eating the right food which is not rich in fat, exercising and not sitting or standing in the same position for long periods of time can reduce cellulite. There are so many reasons for cellulite that there is no single cause other then it being genetic that can be positively determined as attributing to cellulite. There are so many different treatments available right now that one cannot make a judgment call and say this is the best cellulite treatment. One who has it has to learn to live with it and adapt to it.
