Have your dimples been around for years and show no signs of leaving? You can still get rid of deep-set cellulite — you just need to know the right techniques and make them part of your daily routine!
What is deep-set cellulite?
Deep-set cellulite is often a fibrous cellulite. This type of cellulite has been present for a long time and is quite difficult to eliminate, unlike aqueous and adipose cellulite.
Fibrous cellulite develops when the collagen fibres surrounding fat cells multiply, thicken and harden. The collagen then traps the fat cells — also known as adipocytes — and prevents the body from draining away the fat.
Deep-set cellulite is often hard and tender to the touch. It typically appears on the thighs and buttocks.
This type of cellulite is the result of a lack of physical activity and an unbalanced diet. Hormones can also play a role in its development.
The best ways to eliminate deep-set cellulite
Fibrous cellulite is therefore a long-established form of deep-set cellulite that has altered the structure of the collagen naturally present in our bodies. This cellulite, which can sometimes be painful, is quite difficult to eradicate. That said, certain good habits can help you get the better of it!
Rethink your diet
Fighting deep-set cellulite starts on your plate! To help eliminate it, focus on fruits and vegetables for their vitamins. Cut back on sugar and salt, as well as saturated fats. Stay well hydrated to support drainage.
Focus on endurance training
By practising an endurance sport, you encourage your body to tap into its reserves to sustain the effort. Some of those reserves are made up of cellulite. Try running, brisk walking or cycling.
Add strength training
Endurance exercise alone, however, won’t be enough. Your body will naturally try to draw only from the most accessible fat stores — the easy-to-reach areas rather than deep-set cellulite. For the body to target the fat that makes up those stubborn dimples, it needs to produce enough adrenaline — the hormone that triggers the release of adipocytes. The best way to stimulate that adrenaline production? Strength training! So the ideal approach against deep-set cellulite is to alternate between endurance and resistance work.
Try pinch-and-roll massage
The pinch-and-roll technique is an effective massage for all types of cellulite. It works by breaking down fat deposits deep within the tissue, releasing trapped toxins and fats that are then eliminated through the blood and lymphatic system.
To fight deep-set cellulite, it’s essential to massage the area every day for a few minutes. But if you want to see real results, the pinch-and-roll must be performed correctly! The easiest way to do this is with the Cellublue Anti-Cellulite Pack with the cupping cup, which perfectly replicates this massage through its suction effect.
As deep-set cellulite can be tender, we recommend not applying too much suction during your sessions. If you practise this massage daily, you’ll find that over time you can gradually increase the suction intensity without any discomfort!
While it is possible to get rid of deep-set cellulite, prevention is always the best approach! To prevent it from developing, certain nutrients such as proteins and vitamins are your best allies. On the other hand, refined sugar can make the problem worse. Regular physical activity is also essential — aim for at least 30 minutes a day.
Alongside these anti-cellulite habits, if you want to declare war on stubborn dimples, effortlessly and in just a few minutes a day, the Electric Slimming Massager is about to become your new best friend! Thanks to its vibrating heads, it helps support fat release and works to prevent the formation of new fat deposits — helping you look more toned day after day.
