Tired of Cellulite? Experience a Safe, Natural Way to Eliminate It!


seen and tried many “miracle” cures for cellulite, but none of them worked. Lipo- suction or plastic surgery is an option, but both are very expensive, invasive and carry medical risks. Finally, an alternative is here and it’s called the Synergie® Aesthetic Mas- sage System (AMS). Not only is it proven safe and effective by the FDA, but there is research behind the technology to boot.

So, what exactly is cellulite and how does it form on the body?


Cellulite is mostly made up of fat, but


it isn’t an ordinary fatty tissue. This tissue has been damaged as a result of aging and malfunctions in the body’s systems. Cel- lulite is a combination of fat, water and


ou’re probably thinking…”this sounds way too good to be true.” And over the years, you’ve probably


toxins trapped in a net of collagen and elastin fi bers. When the body’s circulation and elimination processes become im- paired, connective tissue loses its strength and unmetabolized fats and wastes become trapped just beneath the skin instead of be- ing eliminated. Over a period of time, these wastes enlarge, harden and push through spaces in the connective fi ber bands that anchor the skin and keep it looking smooth. These wastes cause bulges which appear as dimples and form the puckering, distorted skin effect we know as cellulite.


Cellulite is most commonly found in areas of fat deposits such as on the thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen of most women and some men, too. Factors that may increase your chances of having cellulite include: stress, an inactive lifestyle, and

using hormonal contraceptives. In addition, heredity, skin thickness, gender, the amount and distribution of body fat, and age can all infl uence the extent to which cellulite is present or visible.


Treatments for cellulite Many treatments have been promoted,


ranging from dietary changes to cellulite creams. Methylxanthines are a group of chemicals that include aminophylline, caf- feine, and theophyilline. These chemicals are present in many cellulite creams and are promoted as treatments for cellulite be- cause of their known ability to break down fat stores. However, skin creams cannot deliver the required concentration of these chemicals for the length of time required for signifi cant fat breakdown. While stud- ies have shown a small reduction in thigh measurements with some of these prepara- tions, they do not promote signifi cant loss of cellulite.


Even dietary supplements such as ginkgo biloba, sweet clover, grape-seed biofl avonoids, bladder wrack extract, oil of evening primrose, fi sh oil, and soy lecithin have been marketed as anti-cellulite treat- ments. These claim to have positive effects on the body such as boosting metabolism, improving circulation, protecting against cell damage, and breaking down fats.
