"Find out which are the best Cellulite Massages in Lisbon"

Do you know if you suffer from gynoid lipodystrophy? Maybe you don't know the term, but if you ask if you have cellulite, the answer will be easier. In this article, we explain how anti-cellulite treatments work and where you can find the best cellulite massages in Lisbon.

At the end of reading, it will be easier to say goodbye to sagging and “orange peel” skin with our suggestions.

How does a Cellulite Massage work?

Cellulite affects most women, but it can also appear in men. The arms, legs and belly are generally the most problematic areas. And it has nothing to do with the person's weight. From adulthood onwards, anyone can have cellulite, including the slimmer or more athletic profiles.

Dermatologists explain that the “orange peel” effect is due to the anchor points of the fibrous septa that pull the skin down. In turn, the fat pushes the skin upwards. The Cellulite Massage will alleviate this iron arm that is thrown at your body.

Given these opposing forces, cellulite can be lighter or more pronounced. It depends on the quantity and depth of the depressions, the appearance of the higher areas, the presence of lesions and sagging, among others.

In mild or early cases, cellulitis is asymptomatic. It is only seen when pressing on the affected area. In more severe cases, it is visible, even without pressure, due to the irregular appearance of the affected areas. And when it is even more advanced, it can cause pain, compromising the quality of life.

The Anti-Cellulite Massage technique is applied quickly and deeply and, together with specific techniques/maneuvers and active principles, aims to eliminate fat deposits under the skin, reduce, when there is an "orange peel" appearance, but also eliminate accumulated toxins and improve blood circulation. In addition, a Cellulite Massage is a unique moment of well-being. The recommended number of sessions varies with the different degrees of cellulite.

5 Reasons to Get a Cellulite Massage

Studies show that most women are affected by cellulite and that's why an anti-cellulite massage is only good for you. Among the signs that indicate the need for treatment, we highlight:

1. Being a woman: 95% of women have cellulite at some point in their lives;

But there are other indications that reveal the propensity for milder or more severe degrees of cellulite:

1. Heredity: it is a genetic condition that increases the risk of having cellulite;
2. Circulation problems: Flow difficulties cause the drainage of toxins to be compromised, which contributes to the accumulation of fat, including cellulite;
3. Hormonal changes: When estrogen levels are high, such as when taking the contraceptive pill, you are more likely to have cellulite;
4. Unhealthy lifestyle: Unbalanced diet, sedentary lifestyle, excess toxins, among other signs give you clues to the degree of cellulite you may have.

Habits that enhance the benefits of Cellulite Massages

At this point you have already realized if you have or could have cellulite. It's time to choose the anti-cellulite treatment that suits you best. But remember, no matter how good the massage or treatment is, the speed and effectiveness of its action also depends on you.

The results are higher the greater your collaboration and commitment. So get ready to:

• Have healthy eating habits: avoid the consumption of sugar and fats;
• Drink lots of water: hydration works wonders for the skin and the body;

Basically, these habits are common as a complement to many other beauty and wellness treatments.

2 unmissable suggestions for cellulite massages in Lisbon

That said, we have two suggestions for treatments in Lisbon that you should really try:

Cellulite massage treatment

Our first Anti-Cellulite Massage suggestion is the Cellulite Reducing Treatment. It is a localized therapy. The session begins with an exfoliation to cleanse the skin of dead cells preparing for the best penetration of the green tea wrap, which stimulates detoxification. It ends with the Anti-Cellulite Massage itself, to soften the skin and activate blood and lymphatic circulation.

Slimming and anti-cellulite treatment to tone the skin

Secondly, the alternative we suggest is a full body treatment and combines the Anti-Cellulite Massage with the incredible effectiveness of 4% Oxygen. Oxygen's strong anti-inflammatory effect detoxifies and prevents tissue damage. This is a complete treatment that includes a body scrub and a green tea wrap for an even more powerful detoxifying effect, and a shaping massage with cold stones and oxygen for deeper penetration into the tissues and smoothing the skin. Thus, in addition to the anti-cellulite effect, it rejuvenates and improves skin elasticity.

Green tea is common in both treatments. This immune system activation ally accelerates metabolism and eliminates toxins that are too much in your body.
