As we continue to develop new cosmetic procedures, people have been opting to go with those that are more natural in order to avoid high costs and pain. For example, while laser treatments are more popular than ever, so to are massage treatments, which can be used to decrease the amount of cellulite seen in the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and lower back.

But what is a cellulite massage treatment, and how does it work? The basis for the procedure is actually pretty simple. It reduces the look – if not the actual presence – of cellulite by increasing blood flow. This will lessen the dimples in the skin, and also help to dislodge some of the fat so it can be absorbed deeper into the body, targeting that fat when you work to tone the area with exercise.

Acupuncture is a healing method that is used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is the practice of inserting needles into specific points in order to restore balance to qi flow. There are multiple acupuncture points that exist on the body.

Acupuncture used to be classified as experimental by the United States F.D.A. However, in the past twenty years it has been approved for medical use and studies have found it to be helpful with a variety of ailments. It is now one of the leading alternative therapies and millions of dollars are spent every year in pursuit of acupuncture use.
