FAQs

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

What becomes visible on the skin's surface in cases of cellulite is the unique architecture of the subcutaneous fat tissue. Subcutaneous fat tissue is a special form of connective tissue that develops when fat tissue displaces normal connective tissue and penetrates the dermis (epidermis). These infiltrates, or fat lobules, appear in cross-section as rounded defects in the otherwise homogeneous skin layer, which is composed of a dense network of collagen fibers. This leads, particularly in women, to a relatively low number of collagen fiber bundles running parallel to the skin's surface at the border between the dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue. The patented active complex CHacoll® in skin689® Anti-Cellulite Cream significantly increases the number of collagen fibers.

*Cellulitis is ≠ cellulite.

Why do men rarely or never have cellulite?

The skin689®Anti-Cellulite Cream with the patented active complex CHacoll® stimulates the fibroblasts in the epidermis and dermis to synthesize more collagen. This increases the number of collagen fibers and stabilizes the collagen fiber network. It also causes the subcutaneous fat tissue to shrink. Both of these effects lead to a significant improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

Because the anti-cellulite cream absorbs quickly into the skin, it can be used morning or evening. Even after the first application, the cream leaves the skin feeling silky smooth and pleasantly scented. For optimal results, the cream should be applied daily to the affected areas of skin for six to ten weeks.

Yes, the efficacy has been confirmed in studies conducted by the independent dermatological institutes Dermatest and proDERM. These studies were critically reviewed by various scientists and physicians, who attested to a robust study design, sound execution, and outstanding results. In the Dermatest study, the cream was applied once daily for twelve weeks. Efficacy and tolerability (skin elasticity, thigh circumference, width and height of protruding fat lobules) were assessed after four, eight, and twelve weeks. During the twelve-week observation period, no skin complaints were reported, and there was no evidence of pathological skin changes. Discontinuation of treatment was not necessary; the cream was well tolerated. Skin elasticity was measured using a cutometer and increased in 100% of the participants. After four weeks, the average increase was 13%, and after twelve weeks, it was 22%. An improvement was measured in 100% of users after just four weeks. Fat Lobule Area: An astonishing effect was observed during ultrasound measurement of the protruding fat lobules responsible for the cellulite-like appearance of the skin: The surface area of ​​the fat lobules decreased in 100% of the participants. After four weeks, the reduction averaged 23%, and after twelve weeks, it was even 44%. Further studies can be found here .

“Unfortunately, there are still very few controlled studies on the effectiveness of the numerous preparations and other treatment methods on the market,” says dermatologist Tatjana Pavicic. So far, there have been more “eminence-based” than “evidence-based” statements regarding the effectiveness of anti-cellulite preparations. “We call studies where a respected surgeon has simply said, ‘This is effective,’ ‘eminence-based.’ However, for sound conclusions, a scientific study design with objective measurements, such as ultrasound, is necessary. Furthermore, the studies should ideally be placebo-controlled, because even just massaging the skin has some effect,” says Pavicic. “Double-blind studies, in which neither the doctors nor the test subjects know who belongs to the placebo group and who to the experimental group, would also be desirable.” Source: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung “Cellulite – The New Bubonic Plague”
