You’ve probably heard it before — it is absolutely possible to get rid of cellulite! But… can you eliminate it permanently, once and for all? As you’ll see, the answer is a little more nuanced than you might think. Let’s break it down!
What is cellulite?
To understand why it isn’t possible to eliminate cellulite permanently, once and for all, you first need to understand what cellulite actually is. Simply put, cellulite appears when fat cells — also known as adipocytes — become engorged with fat, swell, multiply, clump together and disrupt the proper circulation and elimination of fluids and toxins. These clusters of fat cells create the dimpled, uneven texture visible on the skin’s surface.
It’s worth knowing that an adipocyte can increase its size up to 50 times to store fat — and once it reaches that limit, the body produces new adipocytes to keep storing more.
Can you permanently eliminate cellulite?
Cellulite can absolutely be eliminated — there’s no doubt about that! The winning formula is regular cupping massages, a balanced diet and regular exercise. What’s important to understand, though, is that these healthy habits work by “draining” the adipocytes — in other words, emptying the fat cells so that the clusters break down, blood and lymphatic circulation is restored, and the dimpled appearance of the skin fades. However, as we’ve seen, adipocytes have the ability to both swell and multiply to store more fat. And even when those cells are “emptied” of fat, they shrink — but they never disappear. The body simply cannot destroy the fat cells it has created.
So if you’ve managed to get rid of your cellulite and think you can go back to your old habits, think again! If you return to an unbalanced diet, stop exercising and abandon your cupping massages, your body will waste no time refilling those empty, ready-and-waiting adipocytes with fat. And just like that — the dimples are back. Permanently eliminating cellulite simply isn’t possible without committing to a few lasting healthy habits.
So, what can you do to prevent cellulite from coming back?
The good news is that cellulite coming back is far from inevitable! To get rid of it, the winning trio is: cupping massages + a balanced diet + regular physical activity.
Once the cellulite is gone, simply stick to these good habits to keep it from returning:
- Keep up with exercise — at least one session per week
- Maintain a healthy, balanced diet
- Practice cupping massage 2 to 3 times per week
- Avoid tight-fitting clothing that can restrict blood and lymphatic circulation
- Avoid wearing high heels too often, as they can also impair circulation
- Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins
- Avoid excessive heat exposure (saunas, very hot showers, etc.)
