Reduce cellulite and boost your confidence

Posted by admin Posted Date: Friday, 29 October 2010 15:20 PM

Although there are factors which can help prevent or reduce the levels of cellulite, for many women it is still one of their biggest body confidence issues. Cellulite is the build up of fat under the skin, and is best known for the lumpy, uneven ‘orange peel’ effect is has on the upper leg and bottom area. For a lot of women it means saying goodbye to bikinis and short skirts, and hello to cover ups and tights.

There are many that, no matter how healthy the diet, no matter how much dieting or exercise is done, cannot shift the unwanted cellulite. Unsurprisingly, the majority of women will be affected by cellulite at some point in their life, but there is a non-invasive procedure that can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Accent is a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that is used to tighten areas of the body which are loose, uneven or in need of regeneration. Also used as a treatment for the face and upper body, Accent is a non-invasive, quick and relatively painless way to reduce cellulite, leaving the area firmer and tighter. When combined with a healthy and reasonably active lifestyle, the effects can be even more noticeable.

Quest for perfect face leaves body in disgrace

image.phpA new survey has revealed that 90% of women fail to protect their body from the effects of sun damage despite taking precautions for their face, increasing the risk of developing an embarrassing face/body mis-match as they get older.

Many people are aware of the common wrinkling of the neck and upper chest of older women often called ‘Turkey Neck’ but most don’t realise that other areas of the body such as the arms can also become loose, saggy and dimply with age.

In a recent survey of patients and enquiries carried out by award-winning cosmetic clinic Riverbanks, 9/10 of those questioned admitted that they didn’t pay as much attention to their body as they did to their faces and over three quarters admitted that they had experienced severe sun burn on more than one occasion to their body.

Without regular preventative care such as SPF and hydrating moisturisers, Cosmetic Dermatological Surgeon Dr Jain at Riverbanks Clinic is concerned that many women could be wasting thousands of pounds keeping their face looking youthful only to be let down in later years by an ageing, sagging body.
