[. . . ] In the following pages we look, in some detail, at the causes of Cellulite and how Cellesse can help you with this particulary feminine problem. Note: carefully read all pages of this booket, especially the chapter "Read carefully before using Cellesse". A common description is `orange peel skin' because of its unique pitted, bumpy appearance. Cellulite is a cosmetic beauty problem which affects the appearance of certain parts of your body, notably the hips, thighs and buttocks. [. . . ] So removing excess fluid now from the Cellulite layer should prevent future swelling and hardening of this layer. As described before Cellulite is not necessarily associated with being overweight only. dieting tends to reduce fat which will help to reduce the swelling of the fat layer. However "feminine curves" like buttocks and thighs are especially resistant to losing fat. Next to dieting, there is evidence that certain foods are linked to the formation of Cellulite, especially to the water retention: tea, 7 Cellesse directly addresses the Cellulite layer and can be used in the privacy of your own home. Cellesse gives intensive, deep massage of the Cellulite layer in the skin to mobilise the excess fluid which is then removed naturally by the body. Cellesse has been developed especially for those parts of the body prone to Cellulite and for this has been equiped with an effective massage system: Vacumotion. Vacumotion is a continuous lifting and rolling movement which gives a deep and intensive massage of the Cellulite layer, with the least of friction. It consists of two rollers and a middle vacuum section which are electronically connected to result in one fluid massage action. The process resembles a wave-like movement of the skin as the Cellesse unit is moved over the affected area. The direction for use is always towards the heart, i. Therefore, we recommend intensive usage for the first 2-3 months and, after that, less intensive usage to keep fluid retention under control: for example, 15 minutes every week or 5 minutes 3 times per week, depending on your preference and skin condition. cellesse does not reduce the fat in the fatlayer. Therefore women who have severe weight problems or who are obese are discouraged from using Cellesse as the effects are likely to be minimal. This is because the swelling of the fat layer purely by fat is already significant and the effects of a reduction in fluid retention will be minimal in comparison. When not to use Cellesse Cellesse should not be used by women on areas of the body where they suffer from varicose veins, scars, spots or blemishes, irritated skin or if there is another skin problem or skin disease. In all of these cases, or when in doubt, we suggest you consult your doctor first. In addition, women who have diagnosed heart conditions, diabetes, blood circulation problems or who are pregnant should always consult their doctor before using Cellesse. Effects during and after use After using Cellesse the skin may become a little red and feel somewhat dry. This is quite normal when massaging and will soon disappear. If needed, some body lotion or cream can be applied after use to soften the skin. Some women may find the use of Cellesse slightly painful.

Cellesse has been designed to be used specifically on the upper legs and buttocks where most of the Cellulite is located. We advise not to use Cellesse on the face, the belly or breasts as these areas are more tender. Your skin must be clean, dry and completely free from grease or any other skin preparation. [. . . ]
