Cellulite worries a large part of the population, since in fact it is estimated that almost 90% of Spanish women suffer from it. The so-called orange peel consists of a localized accumulation of fat that accumulates mainly on the hips, buttocks, thighs and abdomen.
There are different types of cellulite and their causes are very varied. They may be due to circulation problems, hormonal factors, genetics, an inadequate diet, a sedentary life... Be that as it may, these edemas form under the skin that cause very unsightly undulations, which often cause complexes and interfere with our self-esteem.
To remedy it, it is essential to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Cosmetics such as anti-cellulite creams and other professional treatments in beauty centers can give an extra push to diminish your appearance. In addition, there are certain lesser-known remedies that can row in your favor in the fight against cellulite. Among these, the use of suction cups.
The use of suction cups to combat cellulite is known as 'cupping' or suction therapy. The origin of this technique dates back to traditional Chinese medicine and is used in aesthetic centers and also in physiotherapy to combat muscle pain. It consists of the application of suction cups to exert a suction effect, generally also applying heat.
Massage stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, which helps break down fat deposits. Although it is not a miraculous practice, it is a plus that helps to improve the appearance of orange peel skin.
In addition to professional cupping therapy in aesthetic centers, there are also silicone suction cups with which to perform cupping at home in a less aggressive way and as routine care. These suction cups pinch the skin and the vacuum effect produces the suction. Performing a massage and with an anti-cellulite product in cream or oil, can help to smooth and tone orange peel skin.
