How many treatments will I need?

​

 

Two sessions per week for 5 weeks, then one session per month for maintenance. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may choose to follow up with weekly sessions until you are happy with your shape and size. Within five to six sessions you will see remarkable changes. Some see great results within the first two to three sessions. Each session is 75 minutes.

What is cellulite?

 

 

Cellulite is a puckered area of fatty flesh. It's the accumulation of fat cells that have become "trapped" in the collagen and elastin fibres. The resulting lumpy orange peel effect is unattractive. Cellulite can be painful to the touch because the nerves may become compressed and tender and the lymph and blood circulation is constricted. The flesh feels cold, bruises easily and may be puffy and spongy.

 

The primary cause of cellulite is the impaired elimination of waste in areas where it occurs as a result of a sluggish liver, insufficient water intake, poor nutrition, constipation, sedentary living and stress. These factors result in poor lymphatic drainage of the tissues and a breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis that no longer hold the tissue tightly. Cellulite has little to do with age, weight, size or fitness. Someone overweight may have no cellulite at all, while the thinnest person may be affected.

 

All this leads to the embarrassing so-called "orange peel" effect which so many women regard as unsightly. Cellulite is, in essence, imprisoned fat and cannot be eliminated by diet and/or exercise alone. You may lose weight but the cellulite will remain.

 

Many naturopaths and doctors claim that these unsightly bumps and bulges are caused by a combination of factors. Sluggish blood and lymphatic circulation are two main factors. When circulation is sluggish and elimination poor, toxins in the bloodstream become lodged in fat cells, creating dimply skin that resembles an orange peel.
 

 

The importance of proper lymphatic circulation

 

There are five main eliminative routes in your body: the skin, lungs, kidneys, bowels and lymphatic system. None is more recognised or  important in spring-cleaning the body than your lymphatic system, yet the state of its health and functionality is still almost completely ignored by most people.

 

Your lymphatic system is a major route for the absorption of nutrients from your digestive system into your tissue, which helps keep skin healthy, youthful and glowing. It is an important carrier of immune cells and guards you body against damage and illness and prevents degenerative ageing. It's also your body’s waste disposal system. Carrying unwanted proteins and large particles of waste matter which cannot be removed by any other means away from your cells and tissues, it clears away toxins - the by products of fatigue, stress, dead cells, fatty globules, pathogenic bacteria, heavy metals, infections, viruses and other absorbed debris which your cells cast off. The waste elimination functions of the lymphatic system are so essential, without them you would die within 24 hours.
