1. About cellulite
Cellulite is a dimpling of the skin that mainly affects the thighs, upper arms and buttocks. Cellulite primarily
occurs in women, as the collagen fibres in the connective tissue of women's bodies are arranged in parallel.
Cellulite is present when the fat cells expand and therefore bulge upwards, causing the typical dimpling on
the surface of the skin.
To prevent or reduce cellulite, there are numerous medical and cosmetic treatment methods available, but
none of these are 100% effective.
However, in connection with regular exercise and a balanced diet, circulation-enhancing massages can lead
to a improvement in the appearance of the skin.
2. Getting to know your appliance
The anti-cellulite device offers you the chance to enjoy a circulation-enhancing massage, particularly for
cellulite, orange peel skin and loose connective tissue on the legs, upper arms and bottom.
The powerful motor ensures a strong kneading massage.
This complex movement allows the subcutaneous connective tissue to be massaged, promoting circulation
and the lymphatic flow.
With the kneading function, the device mimics the hand movements used during a professional massage.
Thanks to its ergonomic design, the device enables comfortable use at home.
