However, we are looking at a few specific studies, with the most positive results. Two reviews have concluded that Endermologie is not an effective treatment for fat loss and cellulite.

After 2 months, no major changes were seen in cellulite appearance on the right buttock versus the left, or in the size of the fat cells see images below. Only the right buttock has been treated.

Chinese Medicine Abdominal Massage The Chinese medicine massage technique I am going to outline below is a different type of exercise altogether.
How to Perform The Massage Perform this technique two times per day — once before breakfast and once right before bed. Lie flat on your back on a firm surface with your abdominal region exposed.
Warm-up your hands by rubbing them together until they feel hot — about 15 seconds. Place one hand flat on your belly button. Begin rubbing in small circles around your belly button, gradually widening the circles using firm pressure.
Each circle should take about one to two seconds. Focus on heat, which is building up in your abdominal region as you rub. Continue for two minutes, about 40 to 50 circles.
Be sure to keep your stomach warm as you perform the exercise. Making this a part of your daily routine can significantly improve your digestion.
