What Are The Benefits Of CBD For Cellulite?

Cannabidiol has been one of those products that have been used on a wide variety of health conditions, from managing heart disease to reducing weight. However, it's only recently that the aesthetic effects of CBD oil have been studied, specifically how it can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

So what exactly are the benefits of CBD oil for the treatment of cellulite? While the exact efficacy of CBD for cellulite hasn't been studied yet, initial results do show some improvement in how it can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by working on the surrounding skin. However, it can't really target the fat cells and fat deposits underneath your tissues for a more drastic improvement, which can't be your only method to get rid of cellulite.

How Does CBD Work?

Cannabidiol is a processed oil that's extracted from the cannabis plant. Contrary to what you might think, cannabis isn't just known for its recreational purposes - the extract has excellent anti-inflammatory properties, and has shown to have some minor success in treating some chronic conditions with its healing properties. It's sold and used in a wide variety of forms, though you can find it commonly as a body cream, massage oil, and other topical products you can apply on your skin.

The reason why CBD has been one of the products marketed for the use of cellulite is because of its ability to increase blood circulation to the treated area. Since the blood contains most of the nutrients that the skin needs to function, an increased blood flow can help give you smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin.

By applying the CBD oil directly to the areas where you have cellulite, you can increase the blood flow to the affected area. This can help the skin cells there to boost their production of collagen, become more resilient against the normal wear and tear your skin experiences every day, and improve your overall skin health.

Are There Any Side Effects To Taking CBD Oil For Cellulite?

Because CBD is a plant-derived extract, there are no particular side effects that users can experience when taking it. It even works on people with sensitive skin, different skin types, or different skin tones. However, it's important to remember that CBD's effects outside of its medicinal properties aren't well-studied yet, so it’s important to be careful about the way you use it.

If you want to be completely certain that CBD won't do anything bad for your body, you should always consult a medical professional before taking it. With their advice, you're less likely to run into drastic side effects, have a medical opinion about whether or not it's good for you, and generally have the support that you need in case that something does go wrong.

Considerations When Using CBD For Cellulite

Even though CBD has generally been proven safe in topical applications for the skin, there are still several considerations you need to make when you're using it for cellulite. Keeping these things in mind can help you manage any potential side effects, while also possibly improving your results from using the product.

Get The Right Kind Of CBD Products

CBD products aren't that regulated in the market yet, so even if there are a lot of CBD brands, it doesn't mean that all of them are equal in their potency. In particular, you have to be careful about CBD brands that sell their products with a lower CBD concentration than advertised, since that can make the results from your application a lot less effective than you might have hoped.

For this reason, it's important to find CBD oils that contain around 3 to 8 milligrams of CBD for the best results. This is around the range that most CBD products are rated safe for topical application. There are some higher concentrations available out there, but these oils are typically used for chronic pain and other long-term medical conditions.

One particular pitfall you should try to avoid is thinking that the higher the CBD concentration is, the better it will be for your skin. While initial studies have shown that CBD application may help increase collagen production and other beneficial effects on the skin, there's very little study on the long-term and consistent effects of the topical application of strong CBD oils. Without the science to back it up, there's no telling what you might get from applying higher concentrations of CBD to your skin.

Consistent Application Is Key

CBD isn't a miracle cure - you need to apply it consistently for the best results. This is why plenty of CBD products are packaged or made into massage oils since it makes the application of CBD a more pleasant process. Even just a few minutes of direct application to the areas where you have cellulite per day can help you get your results a lot quicker.

A consistent application can also be helped by applying other skin rejuvenation treatments or cosmetic procedures so the skin can absorb the serum faster. In particular, microneedling is one of the better non-invasive treatments you can use in combination with a CBD massage, though you should always get it done by a professional who can use the CBD on your treated areas safely.

Done properly, consistent application of CBD may drastically improve the appearance of your skin in various ways, not just with cellulite. However, you should make sure to have any particular brand of CBD oil checked by a medical professional to avoid any contradicting effects with medications you may currently be taking.

Results May Vary

While CBD application has shown the potential to be effective with rejuvenating the skin, everyone's skin type and reaction to substances like CBD are different. Some people can quickly absorb and use the product efficiently, while it may take others a longer time and a higher potency to get the results that they want.

Overall, this means that the improvements that you'll see from applying CBD to yourself may not always be the same as other people, so you shouldn't be too quick to compare. Most experts generally agree that it takes over a month or two before the impact of applying CBD can be visible - and that's assuming that you've found the right product and have applied it consistently.

In some cases, the differences you can see might be comparable to any other skin rejuvenation cream or lotion that you've applied. For these situations, it might be best to combine your CBD treatments with another skin rejuvenation procedure that can boost its effects, like JetPeel treatments.

Why Doesn't CBD Work To Remove Cellulite?

Despite the improvements that you may experience with CBD treatments, its overall efficacy in removing cellulite is underwhelming compared to other products. While some improvements in the skin may appear,it's not likely to show  visible and drastic changes  even for mild cases of cellulite.

This is because cellulite doesn't have anything to do with the distribution of fat - rather, it's the sagging that's caused by septae, which are bands that connect your muscles to your skin. As you get older and your collagen production slows down, these bands that link your skin and muscles stay in place while the skin around them sags. This causes the dimpled appearance that we normally associate with cellulite.

CBD treatments don't do anything for these septae, since they don't reach that deep down the surface of your skin. While they can lessen the appearance of cellulite by brightening up and making the surrounding skin more firm, they can't address the actual cause of what causes cellulite. No matter how much, how consistent, and how potent your CBD products are, they'll never be able to make a drastic improvement with the appearance of your cellulite.

QWO Injections: Your Non-Invasive, Safe, And Effective Method Of Treating Cellulite

Removing cellulite has traditionally been the field of cosmetic surgery and other similar methods, but recent innovations in skincare and cosmetic treatments have given people far less cumbersome options. One such option that people can now use is QWO injections, which are injectable treatments that have proven to be highly effective in removing cellulite.

These FDA-approved injections work by targeting the septae underneath your skin, dissolving them and allowing the rest of your skin to level out with the surrounding areas. This helps to even your skin texture, remove cellulite, and overall give your skin a smoother, firmer appearance. Other benefits also include increasing collagen production, which can further boost the effects of the QWO injection long-term.

As an injectable treatment, QWO procedures require little to no downtime and only minimal side effects after your treatment sessions. It only takes as few as 2 to 3 treatment sessions before you start seeing visible improvements to your cellulite. If you have moderate to severe cases of cellulite, QWO treatments are ideal for you.
