There are several methods for removing the inner thigh at home; it is better to use them together. An integrated approach improves the result.

Causes

Typically, cellulite occurs in women already during puberty, as the amount of female hormones in the body increases, which provoke the flow of lymph to the chest and hips. Normally, cellulite in women should not be visible to the naked eye.

Cellulite on the thighs
The following factors can cause visible cellulite on the thighs:

• Poor diet, rich in sweet and high-calorie foods;
• Passive lifestyle;
• Chronic stress;
• Smoking;
• Heredity;
• Bad ecology;
• Hormonal imbalances;
• Vascular diseases.

At an older age, the likelihood of cellulite appearing on the thighs increases several times, as the skin ceases to be elastic and sags, muscles lose tone and there is a tendency for fluid to stagnate in the tissues.

Causes of cellulite on the inner thigh

Factors leading to the appearance of unwanted fat deposits:

• poor nutrition with a predominance of fatty, fried, smoked foods, baked goods and other sweets;
• frequent consumption of trans fats;
• inactivity;
• regular stressful situations at work;
• addiction to bad habits;
• hereditary factor;
• hormonal changes (adolescence, pregnancy, thyroid disease or ovarian problems);
• poor ecological environment;
• age-related changes;
• sudden weight loss;
• vascular diseases.

Treatment

First of all, it is necessary to remove all the causes that provoke cellulite, improve nutrition and increase physical activity. It is important to note that treatment must be comprehensive, as physical exercise or diet alone will not achieve a positive effect. It is very important to combine regular exercise, eliminate fatty and sweet foods, alcohol from your diet, and stop smoking. To remove cellulite on the inner thigh, you need to regularly apply wraps to problem areas; special trousers or underwear will also help reduce cellulite.

Anti-cellulite massage for thighs and buttocks: reviews

There are a lot of negative reviews about anti-cellulite massage on the Internet, but they can all be reduced to two types:

• bruises, extensive hematomas and pain during the procedure;
• low efficiency or absence of any visible result in principle.

As for the first, it is possible that the specialist is simply not used to working with a specific patient and has not yet determined the degree of safe exposure. Or the client has thin capillaries that are destroyed at the slightest physical impact. Or the massage therapist has not fully mastered the technique of performing the procedure. Here you need to wait until the specialist adapts his skills to specific conditions (this requires an average of 2-4 procedures), or choose a more gentle technique. You can also change your massage therapist.

As for dissatisfaction with low efficiency, you need to understand that such procedures will not bring results if you eat a lot of fatty and salty foods, alcohol, smoke and do not exercise. On the other hand, there are a lot of positive reviews that allow us to conclude that anti-cellulite massage of the thighs and buttocks really helps get rid of this delicate problem.

Nutrition

Proper nutrition To get rid of cellulite quickly, you need to eat right. It is recommended to cook it yourself, from fresh ingredients, by boiling, stewing or steaming. All dishes should be low-calorie, but fat should not be completely eliminated from the diet, just like carbohydrates, the menu should be completely balanced. You can eat lean meat and fish, fresh vegetables, fruits and berries, cereals, low-fat dairy products. It is worth giving up ready-made store-bought food, semi-finished products, confectionery, and soda. Instead of sunflower oil, it is better to add unrefined olive oil to the salad, and for cooking hot food it is better not to use oil at all. It is important to establish a diet, it should be fractional, at least 5 times a day. You need to properly distribute meals before and after training, so to quickly get rid of cellulite, it is better to eat 1.5 hours before the start of exercise, and an hour after completing the workout. In this case, there will be enough energy for all exercises and the efficiency of fat burning will be maximum.

How to choose cream or oil for massage

There are several classic options: creams “Alice”, “Nega”, “Ballet”. They have been used for a very long time, are cheap, do not cause allergies even in children, and ensure good gliding of hands over the skin. Johnson's Baby clear oil will also work. It is used even for babies, which means it does not cause allergies or irritation.

If you prefer natural oils, choose those that do not clog your pores too much:

• shi;
• hemp;
• argans;
• almond;
• avocado;
• jojoba;
• grape seeds.

You can also add aromatic essential oils to them: for 10 grams of base oil, 4 drops of essential oil.

Exercises

Exercises for the inner thighs Regular exercises aimed at stimulating this area will help get rid of the orange peel on the inner thigh. It is very important to warm up well before starting a workout, as this area of ​​the body is very traumatic. To warm up, a 20-minute run at a moderate pace or jumping rope is suitable. Effective exercises:

• Scissors. You need to lie on the floor, place your hands under your buttocks, and press your lower back to the floor. Slowly raise your legs above the floor and swing in different directions, imitating scissors. Repeat 15-20 times.
• Swing while lying down. You need to lie on the floor and stretch your legs in line with your body. The upper leg needs to be moved slightly forward, with the toe pulled towards you. Slowly raise and lower your leg 20 times, then repeat on the other.
• Swing while standing. You need to stand up straight and straighten your back, then you need to slowly move one leg to the side as high as possible and fix it in this position for a few seconds, then slowly lower it. Repeat 20 repetitions on each leg.
• Lunges are a very effective exercise that works not only the inner thighs, but also the outer thighs and buttocks. The exercise can be performed with or without weights. You need to stand up straight, straighten your back and pull in your stomach, then step forward one naked at a distance of 50-60 cm. It is important that the thigh should be parallel to the floor, and the knee should be at the level of the toe. It is necessary to stay in this position for a few seconds and return to the starting position, performing 10 repetitions on each leg.
• Stretching your inner thighs will help get rid of cellulite and pain after strength training. To stretch, you need to sit on the floor and spread your legs as far apart as possible, then bend forward, touching your hands to the floor and remain in this position for several minutes.

It is very important to perform a variety of exercises, so you can achieve the desired effect faster. It is also important to do the exercises correctly, so that you feel the work of the muscles of the inner thigh, and if tension is felt in another area, then the exercise is performed incorrectly. To lose weight throughout the body, you should not limit yourself to exercises for one zone; it is better to choose a complex for all muscles. The exercises presented above will help reduce the appearance of cellulite on the thighs and buttocks.

On the simulator

Exercises in the gym, on machines and with dumbbells will help against cellulite on the inner thigh. In this case, the load is greater, so the effectiveness of such training is higher. A compression expander will help you work out your inner thighs well. You need to place this exercise machine between your legs and bring your legs together, trying to squeeze the machine as tightly as possible. Deep squats with weights in the form of dumbbells or a barbell will help you work out the buttocks and thighs area. It is necessary to straighten your back and squat as deeply as possible, slowly lowering down and rising up. It is better to start squats without weights, 3 sets of 10 squats, increasing the number of approaches and repetitions each time. Tightening your legs in a machine is the most effective exercise for the inner thigh. It is simple to do; you just need to sit on the machine and place your feet on the platforms. Slowly, but with pressure, you need to bring your legs together and spread them apart, repeat the exercise 20 times in 4-5 approaches.

Vibrating massager

Vibrating massager Vibrating exercisers are popular tools among men and women, since exercise on them does not require much effort. It is worth noting that vibration does not help in any way to lose weight, so vibrating massagers are not suitable for these purposes at all, but it is possible to get rid of cellulite with the help of this device. The fact is that the vibration machine provokes a rush of blood to the stimulated area, which is exactly necessary for cellulite, because its main cause is a violation of blood microcirculation. In addition, the vibrating massager increases skin and muscle tone, relieves fatigue and relaxes the body after a hard day at work. To lose weight and fight cellulite, it is best to train in the gym, doing exercises daily. Exercising with a vibration machine requires less effort than training in the gym, but the effect is several times less, since fat is not broken down and muscles do not work. Another popular remedy is the roller trainer for cellulite; it improves blood circulation in the tissues and promotes the breakdown of fat. It is important to note that the inner thigh is a very delicate place, so it is necessary not to stimulate it with a roller massager too intensely.

How to remove cellulite using tapes?

Sports patches are applied to the thighs according to a certain pattern. The technique is selected individually depending on the condition of the skin and other features. Lymphatic drainage technique is usually used. The essence of the procedure is that as a result of using kinesio tapes, microcirculation and other natural metabolic processes improve, which help maintain the elasticity and firmness of the skin. Sports patches, which slightly lift the skin in the application area, create a microspace, which helps eliminate toxins, drain excess fluid, improve blood circulation, and reduce fat deposits. All this has a positive effect on the quality of the skin. To achieve the best effect, you should follow the instructions exactly and apply the tapes to your thighs correctly. The photo below shows an example of anti-cellulite taping on the inner thigh. Similar diagrams can be found in the instructions included with BBtape tapes.

Hardware massage Getting rid of cellulite on the inner thigh is quite difficult, and new cosmetological methods can help with this. They have a gentle effect on subcutaneous fat, break down fats and accelerate their removal through the circulatory system.

Cryolipolysis

A special device captures a small area of ​​skin and cools it, crystallizing fat cells. The effect of the procedure occurs after 2-3 months, since the body needs time to remove excess cells from the body.

Cavitation

This is another effective method of combating cellulite on the thighs.
A special device uses ultrasound on subcutaneous fat tissue, improving oxygen exchange in the tissues. The device helps break down fat and remove it from the body, accelerating metabolism in cells. It is important to note that any hardware intervention has its contraindications, so the procedure should be prescribed and carried out exclusively by a doctor. Most often, the need for such a procedure arises in the last stages of cellulite, since the first manifestations can be eliminated with the help of proper nutrition and sports. Share:
