Cellulite, Tissue Tightening

Cellulite, however, is a natural change in the connective tissue. The female hormone estrogen is one of the factors that promote cellulite. This is one of the reasons why hardly any men are affected by it.

It is not easy to eliminate cellulite. Mostly, a combination of several methods seems to be the most effective treatment. The goal is not only the tightening of the tissue but also the prevention of health problems because cellulite can lead to an increased accumulation of water in the tissue. The enlarged fat cells may apply pressure on fine vessels in the tissue, preventing a proper blood flow. They will also have a negative impact on the cells and their ability to eliminate waste.

Successful interventions include the treatment with TENS and EMS. Electrical stimulation therapy is not only helpful for pain relief. It also improves the blood flow. EMS is good for stimulating muscles in order to promote muscle growth and stimulate fat loss. All TENS and EMS pulse waveforms are good for the treatment. When changing the frequency, the tension of the muscle or the nerve stimulation will change as well. If the aim is to stimulate the muscles, it is recommended to use a lower frequency and high intensity or longer pulse time.
