Dr. Teresa Rispoli Educates People on Ways to Combat Cellulite

Dr. Teresa Rispoli, of Complete Health lists the top three tips to eliminate or reduce cellulite.

“Summer in Southern California is synonymous with the beach,” said Dr. Teresa Rispoli, founder and director of Complete Health. “However, some people avoid the beach altogether due to being self-conscious about cellulite. Fortunately, though, there are ways combat cellulite.”

For those concerned about cellulite, Dr. Rispoli shares the top three ways to reduce or eliminate it:

No. 1: Endermologie. “This is an FDA-approved treatment that utilizes a specialized treatment head with rollers and suction to massage away cellulite by breaking down dimpled structures, and feels wonderful,” said Dr. Rispoli, who’s been utilizing Endermologie for over fifteen years. “It’s a non-invasive treatment that improves circulation and elasticity of the connected tissue and tightens while sculpting.”

No. 2: Exercise. Although regular exercise cannot cure cellulite, in many cases it can help prevent or reduce its appearance. Cellulite occurs when connective fibers underneath the skin become weak or lose their elasticity, but stretching and strengthening those areas, in addition to burning away excess fat, can help.

No. 3: Stop smoking. “If you are a smoker, stop smoking now, for many reasons, not just cellulite,” said Dr. Rispoli. “In regards to cellulite, however, cigarette smoke reduces blood vessel flow and weakens and disrupts the formation of collagen, resulting in connective tissue becoming more easily stretched and damaged and underlying fat to show through.”
