Increased blood circulation activates the cells and this prevents the fat deposits accumulating under the skin cells. The liquid extract of the inner bark of the cat’s claw vine can be applied orally to stimulate cell activity. Internal intake of cat’s claw extracts may not reach the affected parts of the skin. An oral application directly on the problem patches will allow the herb to act quickly and effectively. We were only able to find one commercially available cats’ claw anti cellulite cream. Application of this cream is supposed to stimulate the cells and give them increased elasticity. Cell activity in turn burns the fat accumulated and reduces the appearance of dimpled skin.
