Cellulite Body Wraps and Stretch Mark Smoothing at The Woodhouse Day Spa

Cellulite is described as fatty deposits right under the surface of the skin that look dimpled like an orange peel.  Cellulite commonly occurs in this subcutaneous tissue on the hips, thighs, and buttocks in about 90% of women at some time in their lives. Men can also develop cellulite, although it is far more common in women as men have less fat around their hip and thigh area, with more connective tissue which holds fat in its place in that area.  Collagen is a protein that firms the skin and connects fat to the skin.  As fibers of collagen stretch and break down, it can cause fat cells to bulge out and create the appearance of cellulite. Because these fibers are close to the skin’s surface they are more visible than other areas of fat in the body.  Your metabolic efficiency, hormones, level of hydration and diet all play a factor in the development and appearance of cellulite.  Shrink to Fit Cellulite Body Wrap A body wrap that focuses on common problem areas for cellulite such as t

The lymphatic system is critical to our overall health and specifically to the immune system. The lymphatic system relies on physical manipulation, exercise, diet, and muscle contraction for normal function as there is no “pump” like the role the heart plays in the circulatory system.  This is how lymphatic massage can help.  Benefits of Lymphatic Massage for Face and Skin Lymphatic massage provides many benefits such as improving the circulation of lym
