The hard slog is underway so I search out more passive and pleasurable options to tackle cellulite. Dr Elisabeth Dancey, author of The Cellulite Solution, explains cellulite is caused by poor lymphatic drainage and poor micro-circulation. At her clinic on Winchester Street she examines my legs and says the cellulite isn't severe. "You've been lucky,"she says sternly, "but it will catch up with you."
She tells me to reduce toxins such as sugar, hydrogenated fat and alcohol and increse good foods such as fruit, veg and protein. "There is no magic wand, I'm afraid," says Dancey, "you need multi-faceted intervention."
She starts me on a course of Vibratone, a vibration therapy which stimulates lymph drainage and circulation, and electromagnetic therapy, which is said to increase its flow between cells.

The Pre-Holiday Peel
What is it? Unlike some chemical peels that remove layers of skin and require a fortnight's recovery, the Rejuvenation & Revitalisation Peel immediately delivers younger skin. Developed as a pre-sun prep, the peel helps protect against UV damage by counter-balancing the sun's drying effects. A mild glycolic acid solution is applied to remove the top layers of dead cells. Then tiny jabs pump skin with vitamins and minerals to stimulate new cells and collagen. Finally, red light and electromagnetic pulse therapy speed up healing and improve circulation.
Does it live up to the hype? Practitioners say patients comment their skin looks smoother and fresher immediately after
the treatment and for the next week.
