About Anti-Cellulite Massage
The Anti-Cellulite Massage is a specialized 60-minute body treatment designed to target cellulite — the dimpled, uneven skin texture that affects up to 90% of women and many men, regardless of fitness level or body type. This results-oriented treatment combines vigorous manual techniques with specialized products to visibly improve skin texture and tone.
Cellulite occurs when fat cells push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, creating the characteristic 'orange peel' appearance. Contributing factors include genetics, hormones, poor circulation, fluid retention, and a sedentary lifestyle. While no treatment can permanently eliminate cellulite, consistent professional treatment can significantly reduce its appearance and improve overall skin quality.
Our therapist uses a combination of advanced manual techniques specifically designed to address cellulite. These include: vigorous kneading and wringing movements that break up fat deposits and stimulate local metabolism; deep tissue friction that improves blood flow to affected areas; lymphatic drainage strokes that reduce fluid retention and puffiness; cupping techniques that lift and separate the fascial tissue, improving its structure; and percussion movements that stimulate collagen production and tissue remodeling.
A professional anti-cellulite cream or gel containing active ingredients such as caffeine (which promotes local fat metabolism and tightens the skin), retinol (which stimulates collagen production), and plant extracts like ginkgo biloba and horse chestnut (which improve microcirculation) is used throughout the session.
The treatment focuses on the areas most commonly affected by cellulite: the thighs (front, back, and outer), buttocks, hips, and abdomen. The techniques used are more vigorous than a standard relaxation massage — you will feel significant pressure and stimulation, which is necessary to achieve results. Some temporary redness in treated areas is normal and indicates increased blood flow.
Benefits include: visible reduction in cellulite appearance, improved skin texture and smoothness, enhanced local blood circulation, reduced fluid retention and puffiness, firmer and more toned skin, improved lymphatic drainage, and breakdown of fibrous tissue bands.
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 6-8 sessions combined with adequate hydration and physical activity. The treatment pairs excellently with our Turkish bath — the heat and steam improve circulation and prepare the tissues for more effective treatment. Many guests combine the hammam with anti-cellulite massage as part of their holiday wellness routine.
Note: This treatment is not suitable during pregnancy. Please inform our staff of any skin conditions or circulatory disorders before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions do I need to see results?
Many guests notice improved skin texture after a single session. For more significant and lasting results, we recommend a series of 6-8 sessions. Combining the treatment with proper hydration, exercise, and our Turkish bath enhances the results considerably.
Is the Anti-Cellulite Massage painful?
The techniques used are more vigorous than a standard relaxation massage, so you will feel significant pressure and stimulation. However, it should not be painful. The intensity is necessary to break up fat deposits and stimulate circulation in the affected areas.
