The most important thing to look for in an anti-cellulite massager is that the device can emulate the manual anti-cellulite massage performed by a professional massage therapist, which is in fact the most effective treatment that exists—though it can be costly in money and time.
This type of massage is done in upward circular motion with good pressure to work at the fat nodules and reduce water retention.
To maximize the results, it is better to warm up the lymphatic nodes before the massage. This part can be challenging even for the professionals, as they need to maintain a good pressure and force throughout, whilst using knuckles and fingers to knead the skin, fat, and muscle. Needless to say, it cannot be done by oneself.
While massaging the inner thigh area, where an entire lymphatic chain is located, the massage should be done more gently and with lowered pressure for drainage. To achieve this, the massager should have additional heads and intensity regulation.
Below we have analyzed several devices to see the pros and cons of each:
Different types of electric anti-cellulite massager
1. Rechargeable massager with toothed-gear-like heads
The three devices, as showed below, that we tested are almost identical and have very similar specifications.
PROS:
- Lightweight and pretty
- Easy to handle
- Can be used on wet skin
- Inexpensive
TO BE IMPROVED:
- The massage strength is too weak to reduce cellulite.
- The massage head is made of rubber, with no firm support underneath to allow for sufficient force to work on the fat. It bends when applying stronger pressure.
- The batteries get drained quickly (around 15 mins)
- The claimed LED therapy is in fact only colored lights without any therapeutic benefits.
- Rotating anti-cellulite massagers
The following group of devices have exactly the same design and functions.
PRO:
- Inexpensive
- Some heads can be used to perform a relaxing massage.
TO BE IMPROVED:
- The massage strength is too weak to reduce cellulite.
- The motion patterns produced by these heads are nothing like a manual anti-cellulite massage, and the size is too small.
- They are heavy and vibrate considerably in hands—not easy to handle.
Among these devices analyzed, none of them has the necessary characteristics to treat cellulite effectively.

TO BE IMPROVED:
- The professional motor is very powerful, however since it’s in a handy device and for personal use, it needs to rest after about 20 minutes of constant use. Typically, an areal massage does not last longer than 20 minutes. But in the case of needing more, simply rest it for about 15 minutes before continuing.
