We all remember well that a woman's appearance is highly dependent on her hormonal levels. The fact that the timing of skin healing and the effectiveness of cosmetic procedures may vary depending on hormonal fluctuations in a particular phase of the menstrual cycle, most cosmetologists remember. But not everyone knows that even the fight against cellulite can be more effective if you select procedures depending on the phase of the cycle. How to choose the right cosmetic products for cellulite, and what effect can be achieved, read on estet-portal.com.
Phases of the cycle: what factors affect the effective fight against cellulite
The first phase of a woman's menstrual cycle, lasting about two weeks or a little less from the onset of menstruation, is characterized by a predominance of estrogen hormones in the body. During this period, inflammation quickly passes and fats are easily burned. In the second phase of the cycle, the body maximizes the production of progesterone, a hormone that promotes fat synthesis and fluid retention in the body. Taking into account the peculiarities of the action of these hormones, we select means to combat cellulite.
Anti-cellulite products are divided into two large groups:
- venotonics - increase vascular tone, normalize blood flow, fight swelling;
- lipolytics are drugs that burn fat.
The peculiarity of venotonics is the content of ingredients with the so-called cooling effect - camphor, menthol, as well as tonic components such as escin, esculin, extracts of horse chestnut, green tea, red grape seeds.
The best-known fat-splitting ingredients are caffeine, theophylline, and guarana extract. They have a not too pleasant, often alcohol smell and a sticky texture, but at a concentration of at least 5% they work quite effectively.
How to choose the right preparations to fight cellulite
Considering the activity of estrogens in the first phase of the cycle, we prescribe lipolytic procedures, since fats at this time are especially easy to eliminate. You can use creams, wraps, it is good to combine all this with an intensive massage. If the patient is seriously ready to start the fight against cellulite, then the procedures can be performed daily.
In the second phase of the cycle, a good effect is obtained from vascular preparations that improve blood and lymph flow and prevent fluid retention. Salon procedures are scheduled twice a week. The drug is applied to the entire legs - from the feet to the hips, and then on the stomach and buttocks. The patient will notice cooling sensations - this is not dangerous for the body, nothing will catch a cold, there are just more sensitive nerve endings on the stomach.
What should be warned the patient about when starting the fight against cellulite
When starting to fight cellulite, it is necessary to ask and examine the patient for varicose veins, since the presence of varicose nodes greatly limits the doctor's ability to choose drugs and procedures.
It is more difficult to fight cellulite for those patients who, for some reason, are subject to hormonal fluctuations, but the selection of drugs according to the phases of the cycle will still give a good effect for them.
It is impossible to completely get rid of cellulite of the third degree with a pronounced "orange peel" on the thighs.
By constant application of creams and salon treatments, the condition of the skin can be greatly improved. If you carefully approach the selection of funds and, without missing a single session, carry out 10-12 intensive procedures, you can get a perfectly tightened silhouette and reduce the appearance of cellulite to the second, and sometimes to the first degree. But you can’t get rid of cellulite completely.
You can save the result with the help of supportive salon treatments, massages and the use of anti-cellulite creams at home.
