Cellulite is the uneven distribution of enlarged fat cells in the connective tissue of the buttocks and thighs. Around 80 to 90% of women fight against cellulite and are looking for effective treatment methods.

What becomes apparent in cellulite on the skin's surface is the special architecture of the subcutaneous fatty tissue. Subcutaneous fat is a special form of connective tissue that forms when fat replaces normal connective tissue and invades the dermis. These lumps or fat lobules show up in cross-section as rounded defects in the skin layer, which otherwise appears homogeneous due to the dense network of collagen fibers. Especially in women, this means that there are relatively few collagen fiber bundles running parallel to the skin surface at the border between the dermis and subcutaneous fatty tissue. The patented active complex CHacoll^® in the skin689^® Cream Anti-Cellulite significantly increases the number of collagen fibers.

*Cellulite is ≠ cellulite.

*Why do men rarely or never have cellulite?

The skin689^® Anti-cellulite cream with the patented active complex CHacoll^® causes the fibroblasts located in the epidermis and dermis to synthesize more collagen. The collagen fibers increase and the collagen fiber network is stabilized. It also shrinks the fatty tissue in the subcutaneous tissue. Both lead to a significant improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

Since the anti-cellulite cream is quickly absorbed by the skin, it can be used in the morning or in the evening. After the first application, the anti-cellulite cream leaves a silky soft feeling and a pleasant scent. For best results, the cream is applied to the affected areas of the skin daily over a period of six to ten weeks.

Yes, the effectiveness has been confirmed in studies by the independent dermatological institutes Dermatest and proDERM. The studies were critically reviewed by various scientists and doctors - and attested to a robust study design and solid implementation as well as excellent results. In the Dermatest study, the cream was applied once a day over a period of twelve weeks. The effectiveness and tolerability (skin elasticity, thigh circumference, width and height of the protruding fat lobules) were checked after four, eight and twelve weeks. During the observation period of twelve weeks, no skin complaints were reported and there was no evidence of pathological skin changes. There was no need to discontinue use, and the cream was well tolerated.   Skin elasticity The skin elasticity was determined with a cutometer and increased in 100% of the subjects. After four weeks by an average of 13%, after twelve weeks by an average of 22%. In 100% of the users, an improvement was already measured after 4 weeks.   area of ​​fat lobules An amazing effect was observed in the ultrasound measurement of the protruding fat lobules, which are responsible for the cellulite-typical complexion: the area of ​​the fat lobules decreased in 100% of the subjects. After four weeks by an average of 23% and after twelve weeks the decrease was even 44%. See more studies here.

"Unfortunately, there are still hardly any controlled studies on the effectiveness of the numerous preparations and other treatment methods that are on the market," says dermatologist Tatjana Pavicic. So far, there have been more "eminence-based" than "evidence-based" statements on the effectiveness of anti-cellulite preparations. "We call those studies eminence-based in which a respected surgeon simply said: For a well-founded statement, however, a scientific study design with objective measurements is necessary, for example ultrasound. “In addition, the studies would ideally have to be placebo-controlled, because just massaging the skin is already beneficial,” says Pavicic. "In addition, double-blind studies would be desirable, in which neither the doctors nor the test subjects know who belongs to the placebo group and who to the test group."
