In clinical studies, patients noticed a 20 to 25 percent difference six to eight weeks after just one treatment. “Skin isn’t damaged during the hour-long session, and you won’t feel discomfort beyond the initial chill,” says Fredric Brandt. M.D. a cosmetic dermatologist in NYC and Miami.

How CoolSculpting works:
it is based on a principle of heat, so it can lead to apoptosis subcutaneous fat cells, subjected to a thermal stress that causes the freeze. The machine, in fact, has a pressure applicator that pulls toward the areas to be treated, thanks to the system that creates a slight vacuum, the skin is so wedged between two plates, applying a strong cooling of the area, thus removing thermal energy to the fat cells, which are so damaged, without being affected, however, the layer of skin cells. The dead cells are then removed by metabolism and eliminated in the same way they are purified from the physical fats in food that is ingested.
The results come after about 4 months of treatment and consist of a visible reduction of the unsightly bulges of fat.

The downsides: only one area may be treated at a time, and you can expect to pay from 700 Usd to 1,500 for each appointment.

How to hide our cellulite? With the camouflage. It’s a makeup cream that spread on hips, thighs and butts for example hides cellulite imperfections. The most famous lotion for “hiding” the skin blemishes is Covermark leg magic. The manufacturer claims that the cream can be used to hide stretch marks, small varicose veins, birthmarks and tattoos on his arms and legs. There is no mention about cellulite, in fact the product in question is unlikely to be useful for this type of blemish.

The typical cellulite orange peel look can not easily be concealed with makeup or lotion. We may try to hide it with a cream that has a “tensor” effect. Similarly, if the cream is recommended for stretch marks it might work for cellulite that caused marks, although in that case they would be stretch marks.
In any case Covermark leg magic ensures the camouflage effect for 24 hours. It’s waterproof (resistant to water) and hypoallergenic. It has a sun protection factor of 16 and is available in 10 different colors to be used on different skin types from light to the darker. The cost of a tube of Covermark Leg Magic is about 10/15 dollars.

Many women think that they can hide their cellulite wearing very tight elastic and dark pantyhose. It is completely wrong. Wearing this kind of underwear contribute to the formation of cellulite by cutting off the delicate lymph vessels under the skin. It’s better wearing panties without elastic or not too tight underwear.

Another famous cellulite treatment is Laser Liposuction, we’ll discuss in a subsequent article.

There are several companies that have patents on this technique, the most famous are GE Healthcare and Therapeutic Cytori.
At the beginnig this kind of therapy was used for breast reconstruction in women with mastectomy, but the problem was that the fat removed and implanted in the chest was reabsorbed by the body in a short time. Lipofilling has been refined and stem cells have come to the rescue. At present, the fat removed, before being replanted, is centrifuged and mixed with stem cells. The tests performed on some women in Japan gave good results, fat does not appear to reabsorb more like once. The Times Online also spoke about it, here you can read the article, because lipofilling is being tested in England. Lipofilling prices for cellulite ranging from 1,000 up to 5 thousand dollars, depending on the area to be treated.Not cheap as a cellulite lotion, but it’s worth, lipofilling represents a good alternative.
One last point: lipofilling needs a “good donor”, it means that if we do not have fat to be removed, if we are too thin for example, we can not use this technique.
