Anti-cellulite comparison: which solution to choose?
Each type of cellulite has its own solution, so it is important to identify whether you suffer from adipose (greasy), watery, fibrous, or mixed cellulite before choosing your treatment.
Here are some questions to ask yourself to choose the best treatment:
– How old are you?
– Do you have hormonal problems, or do you suspect existing problems that would require the advice of a gynecologist?
– How long have you had cellulite?
– What is your history: did your mother or grandmother have cellulite?
– Do you have significant circulatory problems? If so, are you followed by an angiologist?
– Do you have water retention?
– Do you have a balanced and varied diet?
– Are you overweight?
– Are you often on a diet?
– Do you practice daily physical activity?
– Do you tend to gain weight when you are stressed?
These criteria are essential, and your doctor will undoubtedly ask you similar questions to target your profile. He or she will also observe your cellulite: the areas concerned, the type of cellulite – aqueous, adipose, mixed, fibrous – and its overall appearance.
Remember that choosing a solution often requires medical advice, as many devices and treatments have numerous contraindications. Even the use of anti-cellulite cream or anti-cellulite patches may be contraindicated.
