Cellulite Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a safe, natural way to help eliminate cellulite. Even though cellulite affects your outward appearance, it appears in the deeper layer of your skin. That’s why external treatments like topical creams cannot effectively deal with the problem.

Acupuncture deals with cellulite at its source, by nourishing connective skin tissues from within. This is an intensive treatment designed to cleanse and improve circulation, as well as, firm and improve skin tone focusing on problem areas. With the help of acupuncture you will notice smoother feeling legs and a firmer looking appearance in your skin.

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite is the name given to lumpy, irregular fatty deposits that appear as dimpled skin around women’s hips, buttocks and thighs.
According to the Chinese medical theory, cellulite is related to a condition of excess dampness or mucous in the body. Deficient spleen energy, causing poor digestive function, is often the root cause of both over-weight and cellulite.

The Chinese medical approach to this problem involves strengthening spleen energy with acupuncture and herbs, although the treatment must be individually tailored since each person will require a different balancing of energies.

A combination of dieting and exercise is a good strategy to eliminate cellulite, but cellulite deposits are locked away and cannot be readily used for fuel. This is why acupuncture is such an important solution in fighting against cellulite.
