The gluteus maximus is a muscle which almost no man or woman can have enough of, simply because it makes the butt area look strong, beautifully curvy and sexy. However, some people would prefer to have just a toned butt but not too toned or big. How can one do that? It’s simple. Do lots of intensive resistance exercise two to three times a week, for several weeks. And when you reach the stage where your muscles don’t just tone but they start growing bigger, stop and switch to maintenance resistance training for that area, once every two weeks…

If I press my ultrasound/radiofrequency applicator hard on the skin, it will make treatment deeper, right?
Many therapists have the habit of pressing hard with the handpiece on the client’s skin in order to offer a deeper treatment. But does that make sense? Does treatment get deeper? The answer is maybe, depending on the equipment used, but this is not a valid or even safe way to provide deep treatment. First off, the constant pressure is not good for the therapist. It makes treatment straining and...
Learn how to use Ultrasound Saturation Point (USP) for a safe and effective cavitation treatment
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the two most effective SAFE technologies for cellulite reduction and skin tightening (far more effective and safe than e.g. RF microneedling or HIFU). Depth of treatment depends on the type of ultrasound or RF equipment you use, the settings you apply and even the contact medium you apply on the skin. Power depends on the equipment you use and the settings you apply…
Learn what is the difference between hypodermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue (and provide an effective cellulite treatment)
There is huge confusion and misinformation about the adipose (fat) tissue found under the skin, even among such professionals as aesthetic doctors - let alone beauty professionals or the general public. I have seen professionals thinking that these two tissues are the exact same thing or stating completely wrong skin depths for these tissues - and that is unforgivable if you use technologies such as…
Cavitation / radiofrequency treatment for larger sized men and women: most machines are simply inadequate
Radiofrequency and ultrasound cavitation treatments, when provided with good equipment and by a well-trained, experienced and knowledgable therapist, remain THE best technologies for skin tightening and cellulite (far better and safer than HIFU and RF microneedling). However, most such machines available on the market are of low to very low power and are suited more to face treatments or to tiny body areas, than larger body areas…

Can I exercise after a radiofrequency or a cavitation treatment?
For cellulite reduction, it would actually be amazing if you could exercise right before or right after a deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency treatment. Or why not, both before and after! The reason for this is simple. A good, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency treatment stimulates lipolysis, i.e. the release of fat from fat cells…
Deep vs superficial cellulite: differences in appearance and in treatment
Cellulite refers to fat pockets within the skin that are attached to and/or surrounded by fibrotic (hardened) collagen strands. The fat pocket tries to bulge out of the surface of the skin, while the collagen strand pulls the adjacent skin down. The combination creates the cellulite peaks (fat pocket makes skin “pop out”) and troughs (collagen strands keep skin down).
Cellulite can appear at three depths inside the skin:
At the dermal level (superficial cellulite)
At the hypodermal level (medium cellulite; most common cellulite)
And at the subcutaneous fat level (deep cellulite; not true cellulite)
We will look at each of them in detail…
Bringing the cellulite to the surface? Seriously?
The beauty industry is full of myths and inaccuracies and the field of cellulite reduction even more so. But this must be the stupidest thing I have heard: “This treatment moves the cellulite to the surface” from where it is (apparently) easier to remove. This gem has been uttered by a member of the “clinical training” team of a (pretty good) machine manufacturer. Now let’s make it clear once and for all: cellulite is a tissue. It cannot move deep into the body, it cannot move to the surface and in general it cannot not go anywhere. Cellulite doesn’t travel…
Do artificial sweeteners cause cellulite?
Sugar consumption is one of the most important causes of cellulite - as well as diabetes and obesity - today. Therefore reducing or eliminating sugar in all its forms (including honey, agave and other erroneously though to be “good sugars”) and everything made with it (cakes, ice-cream, cookies etc) is the number one priority for cellulite prevention and reduction (as well as weight maintenance). But what about sweeteners, artificial or natural? Do they affect weight/fat levels and - consequently - cellulite?
EGCG from green tea: one of the most important anti-cellulite cream active ingredients
Green tea is widely researched for it lipolytic, skin firming, microcirculation-boosting, ani-inflammatory, anti-glycation, antifibrotic and antioxidant action, i.e. it directly acts on all seven aspects of cellulite. The health benefits of green tea are due to its polyphenol content, especially EGCG. EGCG, or EpiGalloCatechin Gallate, is the most important active molecule in the green tea plant (camellia sinensis) and it is widely researched with literally thousands of studies.

How to get rid of cellulite and tighten skin on legs in your 50s, 60s and even 70s
Cellulite can only be eliminated when it is at Stage 1 (visible only when pinched) or at most a very recent Stage 2 (visible when standing). By the time cellulite establishes itself to Stage 2 for a few years, it is not possible to completely eliminate it. Some women develop cellulite in the teens, most in their 20s, 30s and 40s and almost none develops cellulite in their 50s or 60s in the Western world…
