Top Rated Manual Cellulite Massagers Reviewed
No matter how active you are, the truth is that most women will experience body cellulite and that usually gets worse with age, pregnancy or hormonal changes.
Cellulite, commonly known as orange skin, most often appears on legs, butt, stomach and arms and once installed, is very difficult to get rid of. What works, is a combination of lifestyle changes and a self-care routine that combines a healthy and balanced diet, plenty of sport activity, and daily skin massage and hydration.
Manual cellulite massagers are extremely popular mainly because they’re relatively inexpensive and easy to use. Once you get into a routine to use the manual massager daily, along with some anti-cellulite cream or hydrating oil, you get to see results within a week or two, depending on you skin type. Here are 4 products that will help you take care of your skin, just in time for summer:
1. AIDA Cellulite Massager with silicone nubs
AIDA is one of the latest handheld cellulite massager models, with a unique patented design, in the shape of a sea cucumber, for a better grip and smoother massage strokes. It is also designed to be waterproof and heat resistant, great to use in the shower, to maximize the lymphatic drainage effects of the anti-cellulite massage with the effect of hot water. I’m using the AIDA cellulite massage at the moment, and, compared to the old, standard handheld cellulite massagers I find it soooo much easier to use and friendlier with my skin. The silicone nubs are gentle and don’t leave any marks on the skin of the legs, yet the massage movements are very effective.
How to use the AIDA Cellulite massager:
Aida works great in the shower, using plenty of foam on the skin with any shower gel or soap. I prefer to rub in some organic coconut oil, as it leaves the skin hydrated at the same time. You start with soft, round moves on the problem areas: legs, butt, arms and stomach. You can use more energetic up and down strokes in the less sensitive areas, just be careful if you tend to bruise easily not to apply a lot of pressure. I find that the massage is very effective, even if you only use gentle strokes, as you need to increase blood flow and help dissolve the fat deposits, you don;t need to push too hard.

Reviews are mixed, some people report that they’ve used this type of massager for years, with good results, and some complaining that the massage surface is not firm enough to apply strong pressure.

Fascia trigger point massager
The KOA Elite Massage tool is a smaller version of the fascia blaster made out of safe, BPN free polymer material with a strong aluminium core to enhance its durability. The handheld cellulite massager has 12 massage nods and works for muscle knots self massage or therapist massage. It allows vigorous deep tissue massage and relaxation massage and can be used for the back, neck not only for cellulite removal. Reviewers appreciate that it is sturdy and less expensive than the fascia blaster. It can be used with anti-cellulite massage lotion, oils and creams. As the knobs are strong, it is advisable that you start the massage with light movements and gradually increase pressure, as the tool can easily bruise the skin if pressed too hard.
Pros
- Cheaper than similar fascia blaster tools
- Can be easily cleaned and used together with oils, creams or under water
- Usable not only for cellulite, but also for muscle knots
Cons
- Some users report that the claws on this handheld massager are too thick and too far apart, compared to the original fascia blaster and thus the massage experience is very different
