Today, beauty is increasingly intertwined with health. Modern lifestyle – sedentary habits, stress, fast meals, and lack of dietary fiber – encourages water retention and inflammation. The result? Cellulite, one of the most common skin concerns, affecting almost 90% of women, regardless of age or weight.
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite is a condition of the adipose tissue. Among its causes are genetic, hormonal, vascular, and postural factors, as well as an unbalanced diet and lack of exercise. As a result, the skin develops the well-known “orange peel” aspect on hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and sometimes even arms.
How does salt water act on cellulite?
“Salt water is considered beneficial in treating the processes of cellulite, as it acts on venous microcirculation, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and brings additional benefits due to the presence of iodine,” explains Dr. Mihaela Șușca, specialist in recovery, physical medicine, and balneology at Ensana Health Spa Hotels Sovata.
- Improves peripheral circulation, especially when combined with ozone or hydro-massage.
- Reduces inflammation in subcutaneous adipose tissue.
- Stimulates cellular metabolism through iodine, with a direct effect on adiposity.
- Eliminates edema associated with cellulite through osmotic action.
Detox, exercise, and targeted treatment
“Treating cellulite is based on high-quality detoxification, complemented by stretching and one or two anti-cellulite cures per year. Two to three months of a healthy lifestyle can completely banish cellulite,” adds the balneologist.
