Red Light Therapy for Cellulite: Does it Really Work?

Do you want to know why you keep losing your battle against cellulite?

Today you’ll find out why your anti-cellulite gel is not working, and why even massage, exercise (and praying) don’t help much either.

The orange peel/cottage cheese skin is still there, no matter what you do.

Why?

Because there’s a missing piece in your home anti-cellulite treatment:

Red and Infrared Light therapy.

Also known as Low Level Laser, this little known secret is proven to dramatically enhance any cellulite treatment you’ve ever tried, whether it’s:

• Massage
• Anti-cellulite gel
• Exercise
• Detox
• Or just about any anti-cellulite treatment you’ve ever done.

And:

If you use this natural, non-invasive, painless and side-effect-free method correctly, you may finally see visible, clear and obvious cellulite reduction – for the first time since you’ve started this battle.

Why Use Red Light Therapy for Cellulite?

Red light therapy (LLLT) – which can be used at home by yourself whenever you want to- is now proven to supercharge any cellulite treatment, because:

1.  Red light therapy is proven to reduce overall body circumference measurements of the hips, waist, thighs, and upper arms,  with recent studies demonstrating the long-term effectiveness of results.

2. Red & infrared rays are proven to boost collagen and elastin production (reversing breakdown of collagen typical to cellulite, and fixing damaged skin)

3.  Infrared heat improves lymphatic drainage, essential to any cellulite treatment to prevent swelling.

Most women don’t know about this little known secret, that’s why they are extremely surprised to find their cellulite almost diminished after a few infrared sauna sessions!

Below you’ll find how to use cellulite light therapy to finally see visible reduction in your cellulite, when you combine it with other common cellulite treatments, such as gels, massagers, exercise and detox.

1. Infrared Hand Held Massager for Cellulite

Have you massaged your thighs vigorously only to find no visible results?

It’s because you didn’t know about red light therapy for cellulite.

This study has proven that combining vibration massage with infrared light therapy results with “significant reduction of fat thickness”.

This fat thickness reduction was proven with objective tools such as photographic evaluation, blood tests, and ecographic evaluation.

The study concluded:

In this study we have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the combination between low-level laser therapy and vibration therapy for the resolution of localized adiposity and fibrous cellulite.

Another study has found:

The low-level, dual-wavelength laser energy and massage device safely improves the appearance of cellulite while reducing thigh circumference

Bottom Line:

You can dramatically boost your anti cellulite home treatment by using a hand held massager with infrared heat, like this one. (for less than $30!)

And there’s a bonus:

2.  Anti-Cellulite Gel & Red Light Therapy

Did you ever try an anti-cellulite gel for weeks only to be disappointed by the results?

It’s probably because you haven’t supercharged it with red and infrared light therapy.

A promising study has found that 90% of subjects, treated twice a day with an anti-cellulite gel, and 15-minute red & infrared LED light therapy twice a week – were downgraded to a lower cellulite grade by clinical examination, digital photography, and pinch test assessment.

The results of this small but well-documented, randomized, double-blinded study:

eight of nine thighs with Grade II-III cellulite responded positively to a novel, combined 3-month treatment program of a phosphatidylcholine-based, anti-cellulite gel and LED exposure, as determined by the clinical determinants obtained

Bottom Line:

Treat your cellulite areas with a good anti-cellulite gel twice a day, and use a home infrared light therapy device, or an infrared heat lamp – twice a week for 15 minutes.

3.  Exercise & Infrared Light

We all know that exercise can help reduce body fat and release toxins through sweat, further helping the cellulite problem.

Exercise improves lymphatic drainage, which carries toxins out of the body. Those experiencing challenges with drainage often notice more cellulite in their body.

But:

Here’s what happens when you add infrared light therapy to the mix:

This study has found that a group of women working out on stationary bicycles 3 times a week for 4 weeks and exposed to infrared light therapy lost an average of 8 cm’s or 444% (!) more body fat – compared to 20 women doing the same without infrared radiation.

Isn’t that incredible?

Bottom Line

If you are exercising regularly, consider starting with infrared sauna treatments before or after your workout.

There are a few great options:

1.       Buy your own low EMF infrared sauna – see the 3 best small infrared saunas HERE (there’s a high quality one for less than $1000)

2.       A lower cost alternative – a portable infrared sauna. This is the only one I recommend.

3.       The lowest cost option – build your own near infrared sauna (for less than $100)

And since I’ve mentioned infrared sauna, this next section may blow your mind:

4.  Infrared Sauna for Cellulite Before and After

Most people use infrared sauna treatments for a full body detox, weight loss, pain relief and overall immunity.

That’s why they are extremely surprised to wake up one morning and seeing their cellulite almost gone or seriously diminished.

There is little scientific evidence that infrared saunas help with cellulite, but there are many success stories you’ll find when you research infrared sauna results online (which I do. A lot.)

Here’s one example, from checkinfrared.com:

I am a couple of kilo’s overweight, but not obese in any way. Yet, I have had a severe cellulite problem all my life.
Just like my mother.I was diagnosed with Lyme disease 2 weeks ago. Because of it, I bought an infrared cabin to help me detox.
Since then, I have been sweating every day.
It’s wonderful. I feel better, I am happier, the pain in my shoulder has significantly diminished.
I sleep better. Not only me, but the whole family also enjoy the sauna. But the absolutely cool thing is…………My cellulite is clearly diminishing. WOW.
No joking. It works. It really really works.

Want another one?

Here’s more proof, found on the EssentialDaySpa.com forum:

I know you didn’t ask me but I exercise regularly and eat well and have always had trouble with cellulite. I have tried the Murad Firm and Tone system including the supplements which did have some effect but the one thing that completely fixed my cellulite was regular use of a far infrared sauna.
In fact I am now buying my own.

Bottom Line

Use regular infrared sauna treatments to finally get rid of your cellulite.

How Can I Afford Infrared Sauna Treatments?

I agree:

Regular sauna treatments in spas or clinics are not budget-friendly, and can get very expensive in the long run.

However:

There are a few ways to save a lot of money on infrared sauna treatments (especially if you consider the other amazing health uses for infrared saunas).

1. Buying your own infrared sauna (you can see the best 2-person infrared saunas HERE) will allow you to use it 24/7 for years to come.

2. Buying a portable infrared sauna is just as effective yet costs much less.

3. Building your own zero-EMF near infrared sauna – for less than $100

Note: we don’t recommend buying infrared sauna blankets/wraps since they tend to emit high EMF radiation.

Conclusion

You’ve just found the proven secret to finally see a visible, clear cellulite reduction anywhere in your body, for the first time in your anti-cellulite battle.

Red and infrared light therapy.

This natural wavelength, the heat of the sun, will supercharge any anti-cellulite treatment you do, and can bring amazing results even if used alone via an infrared sauna.
