What is cellulite and why does it form?
Cellulite is a skin blemish that affects millions of women (and many men), regardless of body weight. It's not just a matter of excess weight, but a multifactorial problem involving hormones, circulation, lifestyle habits, and genetic predisposition.
Visually, it manifests as the characteristic "orange peel" appearance of the skin, due to the accumulation of fluid and fat in the intracellular spaces and the tension of the fibrous septa that deform the connective tissue. The most affected areas are the legs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen.
There are three main stages of cellulite:
- Edematous cellulite: characterized by swelling and fluid retention.
- Fibrous cellulite: harder to the touch, with small nodules under the skin.
- Sclerotic cellulite: the most advanced stage, with hard plaques and visibly irregular skin.
Cellulite isn't just an aesthetic problem: it's linked to hormonal, circulatory, and lifestyle factors. Recognizing its stage is crucial for choosing the right treatment.
The most effective active ingredients against cellulite
An effective anti-cellulite cosmetic is recognized by the functional ingredients contained in its formula. The most studied and used active ingredients are:
- Caffeine: stimulates lipid metabolism and helps drain excess fluids.
- Escin: extracted from horse chestnut, it promotes microcirculation and reduces swelling.
- Gotu Kola: improves skin elasticity and stimulates collagen production.
- Ivy: supports fluid drainage and toning action.
- Menthol: gives immediate freshness, relieves the sensation of heavy legs.
- Theophylline and theobromine: natural alkaloids that stimulate cellular metabolism.
- Hyaluronic acid: hydrating and plumping, improves skin firmness.
- FIR (Far Infrared Rays) minerals: They reflect far infrared rays emitted by the body, stimulating microcirculation.
The strength of the FGM04 cosmetics lies in the combination of plant, mineral and biotechnological active ingredients that act in synergy for visible results.
How to choose the right anti-cellulite cosmetic
The choice of cosmetic depends on several factors:
- Skin type: more sensitive, dry or in need of extra hydration.
- Area to be treated: Thighs and buttocks require more draining products, while the abdomen requires firming formulas. DO NOT apply cold-effect cosmetics to the abdomen.
- Cellulite stage: edematous → draining gels; fibrous → rich muds and creams; sclerotic → combined intensive treatments.
- Lifestyle: Those who travel a lot may prefer practical sprays, while those who love beauty rituals can opt for muds and wraps.
Differences between anti-cellulite creams and gels
- Anti-cellulite gel: They have a fresh, light texture, suitable for those suffering from heavy legs or seeking quick absorption. Perfect for summer and after sports.
- Anti-cellulite creams: Richer and more nourishing, they provide elasticity and hydration. Ideal for winter and those with dry skin.
FGM04 offers both solutions: quick and refreshing gels (Icegel Plus, Cryo Redux System) and intensive cream-serums (Total Body 5 Actions, Visna Forte Gel).
Gel = immediate freshness.
Creams = deep nourishment.
Alternating them throughout the year enhances the results.
The importance of massage in the application
Massage is key to increasing the effectiveness of anti-cellulite creams. Applying the product with circular motions from the bottom up helps stimulate microcirculation and lymphatic drainage.
To enhance the benefits, you can use manual or electric massagers or combine the cosmetic with draining bandages that promote osmosis and amplify the absorption of the active ingredients.
When and how to apply anti-cellulite products
To achieve visible results, consistency is required. The rule is:
- Apply twice a day (morning and evening).
- Clean, dry skin to aid absorption.
- At least 4-8 weeks of continuous treatment for concrete results.
FGM04 anti-cellulite cosmetics are designed for daily use, without greasing or staining clothes.
Results and timing: what to expect from treatment
Anti-cellulite creams are not miraculous, but with consistency they offer tangible improvements:
- After 2 weeks: smoother and firmer skin.
- After 1 month: reduction of the sensation of swelling and lighter legs.
- After 2 months: visible reduction of the “orange peel” effect.
Consistency and regularity are the real key to transforming a cosmetic treatment into an effective anti-cellulite ally.
