Greta Blackburn's Stay Youthful!
Cellulite
Dear Greta,
What’s the deal? I exercise regularly, eat right, get plenty of rest, blah blah blah, yet I still have cellulite on my upper thighs. This stuff just starting showing up last year- I’m 42- and I’m not happy about it. Is there any way to get rid of it?

Dear Lumpy,
Diet and exercise are effective ways to get rid of deep layers of fat in the body. That’s how we get rid of unwanted pounds and inches. Unfortunately, exercise and diet have less effect on the subcutaneous fat which lies closer to the surface of the skin. That’s why you still have dimpling despite your good efforts.
Louis Paul Guitay, a French engineer, developed a mechanical device in the late 80s which delivered intermittent suction and rolling to areas of the body and subjacent soft tissues. This device was intended for use in therapeutic massage but it also had an unexpected side effect- it produced noticeable improvement in the appearance of cellulite.
The LPG Technique using Endermol-ogie has since gotten FDA approval as a technique which fights cellulite. Some people see improvement after one session. For others, six or eight treatments provide results. People report that their clothes fit looser and the legs and hips feel tighter after having Endermologie. Others find that its benefits include relaxation and less muscle soreness after workouts. This treatment works even better when patients stay active and drink plenty of water, which you are already doing.
Debbie Boren, a Certified Endermol-ogist at Body Images at the Meyer Family Health Care Center in Encino (818/788-6817) reports that many of her clients are otherwise fit and trim people. “I’m working with many very skinny women who have cellulite. It’s even more frustrating for these women, since they don’t have any more deep fat to lose, just the dimply subcutaneous fat which is so unattractive. They love the results they get from the treatments,” she says.
Men can also use The LPG Technique to help with love handles and other problem “age spots.”
Lumpy, try this little trick LPG that the French have given us and see if it doesn’t take a bit of the dimple out of your days

How to Get Here
Defessi Aeneadae, quae proxima litora, cursu contendunt petere, et Libyae vertuntur ad oras. Est in secessu longo locus: insula portum efficit obiectu laterum, quibus omnis ab alto frangitur inque sinus scindit sese unda reductos.

Hinc atque hinc vastae rupes geminique minantur in caelum scopuli, quorum sub vertice late aequora tuta silent; tum silvis scaena coruscis desuper horrentique atrum nemus imminet umbra. Fronte sub adversa scopulis pendentibus antrum, intus aquae dulces vivoque sedilia saxo, nympharum domus: hic fessas non vincula navis ulla tenent, unco non alligat ancora morsu.

Huc septem Aeneas collectis navibus omni ex numero subit; ac magno telluris amore egressi optata potiuntur Troes harena, et sale tabentis artus in litore ponunt. Ac primum silici scintillam excudit Achates, succepitque ignem foliis, atque arida circum nutrimenta dedit, rapuitque in fomite flammam.
