Anti-cellulite massage

Anti-cellulite massage speeds circulation beneath the skin, increases the delivery of oxygen and helps break down fatty tissue. The result comes from a course rather than a single session, which is why the treatment is usually planned alongside lymphatic drainage.

How anti-cellulite massage is given

The therapist works the problem areas — thighs, hips, abdomen — with more intensive deep kneading and squeezing. The pressure is higher than in a classic massage, so mild discomfort is possible, though it should never reach pain. Redness may appear in the area afterwards; that comes from the increased blood flow and passes quickly.

How anti-cellulite massage acts on cellulite

The mechanical work of the massage strengthens blood and lymph flow in the subcutaneous tissue. The oxygen supply to the cells improves and the surface of the skin gradually evens out:

What changes in the subcutaneous tissue

• Stronger blood and lymph circulation
• A better oxygen supply to the cells
• Support for breaking down fatty tissue
• Improved elasticity and smoothness of the skin
• Less feeling of swelling in the area
• Better general body tone

Varicose veins, pregnancy and other contraindications

The treatment is given as a course, usually alternating with lymphatic drainage. Pronounced varicose veins, thrombosis, damaged skin, pregnancy and acute inflammation are restrictions — all clarified at the examination on arrival. Anti-cellulite massage is not part of naftalan treatment; it belongs to the aesthetic programmes.

The massage is given in the hotel's spa area. The best results go to guests who plan it on consecutive days together with the anti-cellulite body scrub: the scrub prepares the skin and the massage works the tissue beneath it.
