Cellulite remains a threat to bikini-wearing men and women everywhere, threatening to distract people from their sculpted bodies with some awkward dimples. Luckily medicine, science and technology have advanced far enough to give people plenty of options, to choose from natural to topical to surgical if they want to get rid of their cellulite problems.

Here, we’re going to take a glance at what cellulite is exactly and something called ionithermie treatments. Ionithermie cellulite reduction treatments are becoming more and more common, but are they worth your time and money? Are they effective as methods of cellulite removal?

It can be difficult to select the right kind of treatment for you. After all, there are so many claims being made, so many treatments and machines with sometimes ludicrous claims being made, promising tiny little miracles focused on your cellulite. Hopefully, by the time you finish reading this, you’ll find yourself with a greater appreciation and understanding of cellulite.

What is Cellulite Anyway?

Let us take a quick gander at what makes cellulite, cellulite. When you boil it down to as few words as possible, you end up with the words ‘dimpled skin’ or more precisely, ‘dimpled fat’. It comes up wherever a large amount or area of fat is near the skin, such as around the butt or the outer thighs. Unfortunately, women happen to be more prone to developing these as compared to men, due to the former’s specific hormonal changes and production.

And for people wondering, no, being overweight actually has very little to do with cellulite. Losing weight might lead to some cellulite loss, but generally, it appears to be more an occasional occurrence rather than a real solution.

Ionithermie Treatments

It sounds strange, but ionithermie treatments are the newest option available to people who want to get rid of their cellulite. The treatment is the flavor of the month for people who want to fight cellulite off. Ionithermie cellulite reduction methods claim to be effective in as little as a single session – a fantastically bold claim. Apparently the method works by going into something other than the rainforest, where so many miracles are apparently present: now, they’ve gone to the sea.

Developed in France and often understandably misspelled, this method aims to achieve five things. First and foremost, it’s here to handle the appearance and presence of cellulite as well as improving the general smoothness of the skin. Ionithermie treatments also aim to contour the body, making it more slender in effect. This also then leads to firming and toning of the body. Last and not the least, it detoxifies the body, thanks to the ingredients involved.

Ionithermie Cellulite Reduction Process

The very first part of the treatment involves covering the cellulite-afflicted skin with algae-infused products, which apparently works wonders on the various toxins involved in causing cellulite. Next, galvanic products are then applied and rubbed onto the skin, in apparent preparation for the subsequent steps. After this, faradic sources are next in line to be applied to the area. This apparently helps stimulate the muscles involved.

Combining and following those three steps involve some carefully-placed electrodes. This apparently leads to some stretching and toning of the skin which naturally attacks the dimpled skin. It could apparently be compared to a rough day at the gym. It’s a lot to go through in 30 minutes, so you can squeeze it into the tightest of schedules. It costs around $135 per treatment.

A lot of people are saying it’s worth the cost, due to its effectiveness and relatively cheap price compared to other treatments, such as liposuction. You may have some slight redness due to the electrodes, but that’s about it in terms of side effects. It goes without saying that if you have a metal plate inserted anywhere, it makes you ineligible to ionithermie treatment.

Lasting Benefits

Reviews on the treatment are fantastic. Ionithermie treatment is, apparently, highly effective even after a single session. It takes around seven to fifteen sessions to fully experience the effects, making it more expensive over a period of time. This could put a serious drain on anyone’s wallet and since cellulite is in no way a medical condition, no insurance plan around would ever pay for it.

Should I Do It?
If you have the money and the time for it, this is probably the best solution for you to take, short of surgery. It has received fairly positive reviews so it is not a scam for the most part, though like anything involving science, ionithermie treatments may vary in effectiveness from person to person. If you’ve got some money to spend, you can try it for one session and see how it works for you. You may not regret it.
