Cellulite treatments

Today we look at three of the best non-invasive salon treatments

Tripolar - Cost £100 per session (6-8 recommended)

Tripolar is a non-invasive course of treatments. It heats fat cells under the skin without adversely affecting the surrounding tissues and increases the metabolism and secretion of fat, (liquid fat is released from the body via the kidneys). Clinically proven on all skin types to regenerate collagen, tighten and tone the skin and improve overall skin laxity. Each session lasts between 30-60 minutes and a course of six to eight treatments is generally recommended.

An alternative for those who are afraid of needles. Claims to be "not only fantastic at reducing those hard-to-shift fat deposits but the warming sensation experienced in the treatment is very pleasurable and relaxing".

Crystal Clear Cellulite and Body Firming System - £50 per treatment (10 treatments recommended)

This new treatment claims to provide the perfect solution to unsightly cellulite and poor skin tone on the legs, hips, buttocks, arms stomach and chin, and offers all over firming and lifting. It'll even lift and firm facial contours.

Combining a vacuum with a unique pulsed program, the Cellulite & Body Firming System helps release the fat from the tight connective tissue which holds the fat cell and expels toxins and water. The vacuum is created within the cup which is glided over the skin to create varying degrees of suction. At the same time, the intermittent pulsing action creates a sub-dermal massage to the connective tissue and fat globules by stretching the fibrous bands, which is the primary reason the for the cellulite effect. The skin is smoothed and firmed from the very first treatment.

Crystal Clear Body Firm Complex is applied to the skin prior to treatment. The pulsating action of the machine helps to actively push the carefully selected fat busting ingredients which contain a combination of active substances encapsulated inside special 'second generation' liposome's, deep into the skin to restructure and firm. The active ingredients work in harmony with the pulsing and massage effect to smooth, lift and firm the skin.
