Myths About Cellulite
- A myth that, at the time, seemed almost believable is that soda pop causes cellulite. The theory was that the sodium in soda pop caused fat cells to swell thus producing cellulite. This is not true. Cellulite is fat cells, but they have become deformed and trapped close to the skin in connective tissue.
- Another often accepted myth is that cellulite only happens to those over 40 years old. While cellulite may be more apparent in older people because the skin thins out as we age, it can occur at any age.
- Cellulite is often misunderstood, so it isn’t surprising that many people believe the myth that cellulite can only occur on the thighs and buttocks. While this is the most common area for cellulite to occur, it can also appear on the arm, neck and stomach.
- Perhaps one of the most common myths is that only over weight people get cellulite. This myth, when debunked, can be devastating to those who are not over weight. Unfortunately everyone has fat cells, even skinny people so they too are subject to cellulite.
- A myth related to getting rid of cellulite is that dieting and exercise are good ways to get rid of cellulite. This is untrue because of the make up of cellulite. It is unlike other fat that through dieting and exercise can be burned by a person’s metabolism. Cellulite is trapped in the connective tissue and is unaffected by metabolism.
These five myths are most often associated with cellulite. Some of these myths have even been used to sell products that say they will prevent or cure cellulite. Knowing the difference between myths and facts can help people deal better with cellulite.
There are many different types of medical anti cellulite treatments. There are deep tissue massages, which may work, but are really not permanent solutions. The Endermologie machine works to lift skin to get a deep, subdermal massage to the underlying fat layers. This is very positively reviewed.

Filed under Laser Treatments
As a modern day woman you are probably aware of how fashion standards now tend towards hair removal. Women the world over are either shaving, waxing, bleaching, tweezing, lasering or using depilatories or electrolysis to either temporarily or permanently remove the hair from all places it’s not wanted.
One thing remains pretty consistent though… very few women are waking up and thinking that today is the day they are actually going to enjoy getting the hair ripped out by the root from various private parts of their body. Fact is, many options actually hurt a little and each one of us has certain pain limits that we want to avoid at all costs.
But whatever your beliefs and feelings towards hair removal are, women, and more and more men, are flocking to the beauty salon, hair removal centre, every few weeks to get rid of their body hair.
One of the hottest trends right now is permanent hair removal. More and more women are saving time and money by seeking out more permanent hair removal options. One of the most popular options is laser hair removal. But take care in selecting a laser hair removal centre as they are not all the same.
When considering laser hair removal, the most important thing to realize is that experience and training are critical to treatment success. Improperly performed procedures pose several risks and can lead to serious side effects. To avoid the dangers of laser hair removal, have a professional determine whether or not you are a candidate for treatment and be sure to thoroughly discuss any concerns you may have.
At Nirvana Spa, our staff are professional and fully trained. Our equipment is the latest technology and our procedures are designed for your comfort and safety.

The Right Style For You
Have you ever felt the difference a great hair style can make to the way you feel. A great hair style gives you more confidence, makes you feel great and can even help you get over certain life challenges you may experience.
Think about the new hair style after a relationship bust up? That has been proven to give women a major lift, a new outlook on life, a great way to move on.
Many women, even men, are concerned about how their hair looks. They worry about it, they continually play with it to get it to look a certain way.
The fact is, as we get older, our hair changes, styles change and many of us just want to make it look different every now and then.
Where you live also plays a part in how you wear your hair. Your hair may be prone to play up (frizz) if the weather is humid. If it’s windy, that look that just took an hour to create may not last long. And then there’s the massive array of hair products that are available… which one do we choose?
How many of us are expert at getting our hair to look great all the time? How often to you look at people in the street, or your friends and envy the way their hair looks?
The fastest way to get a great hairstyle is to consult with a trained, professional stylist. Tell them about your lifestyle, the products you use, how you like to wear your hair. If you’ve been going to a stylist for some time they will understand how you wear your hair and most likely have your hair styled in a way that has it always looking great.
But if you’re visiting a stylist for the first time make sure you ask the right questions. You will soon discover if the stylist is going to be good for you or not. There are many stylists who can cut hair, but not all can help you work out the best style for you. Many of us have been through the experience of finding a great stylist and then suddenly they leave and you have to find another one.
At Nirvana Spa, our stylists take great delight in talking to you about what style would best suit you. And they listen to what you want and will work with you to determine what will suit you best. In fact, they guarantee their work. If you’re not totally delighted with the service you have received, they will re-do it for free.
So call Nirvana Spa now on 07 3857 8300 and experience a hair styling service you deserve.
Fresher, Younger Looking Skin

Filed under Age Prevention
You mightn’t be able to defy the natural ageing process but you can stave it off naturally…
Research shows that for most women, the skin starts the ageing process from around the mid-20s. It’s from that time on that body’s natural collagen production starts to slow down and the skin elastin starts to wear down a bit… the result… your skin starts to sag a little.
Though the ageing process may take many years to actually show on your face and body, there are some natural ways that can “hold back the years”.
Many women choose surgery nips and tucks to rectify some of the issues of sagging skin. But for those women who want to choose a more gentle way of fighting the sag, natural treatments are finding a niche.
Specialist Day Spa’s are providing many natural, non-surgical techniques that can tighten the skin, lift the breasts and even reduce the signs of wrinkles. Some treatments can’t match the results of surgery but not all women choose to risk that option.
One such natural treatment is the emerginC radianC facial. Combining a wide variety of natural herbal extracts and anti-oxidants as well as tingling fruit acids, potent vitamin C and more! The benefits include rapidly improving dull, lifeless skin, evening out skin tone, improved micro-circulation as well as calm, soothe and hydrate the skin.
A series of treatments has the long term effect of visibly removing the signs of ageing skin. In fact, many who are experiencing this facial are quickly addicted to the results.
The emerginC facial is now available at Nirvana Rejuvenation Spa and Hair Salon. Call us now on (07) 3857 8300 to take advantage of this rejuvenating treatment.
