Cellulite is the 'cottage cheese' like dimpling of the skin caused by the collection of fat cells that are stored underneath the skin. It mostly affects women and is most commonly found on the thighs, legs, stomachs, arms and buttocks. There are many effective cellulite treatments available, including both surgical and non-surgical options.

Many women, in fact, most women, struggle with cellulite as they age. Doctors estimate that over 85% of women suffer from cellulite deposits in their buttocks, thighs, upper arms or stomach. Although it is more common in women over 35 it has been diagnosed in girls at 16 years of age. Some alternative cellulite treatments are designed to work with the developing girls bodies.

Ionithermie detox treatment has proven to be an effective anti cellulite procedure. The process involves electrical stimulation, micronized algae and conductive clay. Results can be seen after the first treatment but multiple treatments are recommended.

Synergie cellulite treatment is a unique, non invasive procedure that involves vacuum massage technology to smooth and tighten the skin. Treatments are 30 minute sessions every three days for about three months. A study in 1998 concluded that 91% of women saw a significant improvement in their cellulite.

There are also at home alternative cellulite treatments and techniques. These techniques are not new age or require the use of a doctor's prescription. Herbs used in cooking are thought to have antioxidant qualities to reduce cellulite such as Cayenne pepper, juniper berries, black pepper extract, ginger, grape seed, garlic, peppermint tea.

Dry body brushing the affected areas is a very affective way to treat cellulite from home. The bristles might feel a bit harsh at first but after a day or two you get used to it. Body brushing is an excellent way to improve circulation and can be done before showering - for added benefit use a cellulite treatment cream afterwards.

Losing weight can help to improve the appearance of cellulite as it reduces the fat cells underneath the skin. This will not always help as thin people get cellulite too, but if you are suffering from weight problems then weight loss should help. Cutting out junk food and drinking more water should not only help you to lose weight, but should help you to achieve smoother, healthier looking skin as well.

Alternative cellulite treatments can sometimes be helpful in the fight against time. However, although most are harmless you should do your homework first to determine if they are worth your time and your money.
