Fighting for a body without the “orange peel”, women experience a lot of methods and means. Only a few get the right to be called effective. Among them is the drug Eufillin. For cellulite, it can be used in a number of recipes, which significantly expands the capabilities of the product.
Composition and release form
Euphyllin (Latin name - Euphyllinum) is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, or bronchodilator, prescribed for broncho-obstructive syndrome, dysfunction of the respiratory center, etc. The active substance is aminophylline, which is a compound of theophylline and ethylenediamine. Theophylline, in turn, is a synthetic alkaloid, the natural equivalent of which is found in coffee beans and tea leaves. It is this composition that explains the positive effect of Eufillin on the condition of the skin.
The modern market offers a wide range of finished cosmetic products (creams, gels, serums) with aminophylline, designed to eliminate the “orange peel”. The Russian company Evalar also presented its own anti-cellulite cream with this substance. According to users, the products really work.
The drug enters the pharmaceutical market in three forms: tablets, powder and injection solution placed in glass ampoules (1, 5 and 10 ml). Not only a solution can be used against cellulite, since the tablets crumble well before use, the powder dissolves (thanks to the combination of theophylline and ethylenediamine, the product has increased solubility). This does not affect efficiency.
The use of aminophylline for cellulite
There are many effective recipes with aminophylline for cellulite. Any products prepared with its addition have a pronounced anti-cellulite effect and also help reduce body volume. The following homemade recipes have the most positive reviews:
- To prepare anti-cellulite ointment, several 0.15 g aminophylline tablets are crushed to a powder and mixed with regular Vaseline. Apply the finished product to the skin twice a day.
- An effective anti-cellulite cream can be made this way. A little baby or any other cream is mixed with one ampoule of aminophylline, then dimexide is added. The finished product is applied to pre-steamed areas for 15 minutes. After completing the procedure, the skin is cleansed with hot water.
- The mixture for home anti-cellulite massage is no less effective. Olive oil is mixed with an ampoule of dimexide and aminophylline. The product is applied to problem areas, massaging thoroughly for at least 20-30 minutes. After completing the procedure, the oil composition is not washed off. Next, it is recommended to wear warm trousers or special warming shorts. At the same time, you need to try to move as intensely as possible.

The effect of using the listed funds is noticeable after the second manipulation. After five procedures, the result is visible to the naked eye.
Action
Cellulite occurs under the pressure of impaired blood circulation. Because cells no longer receive the necessary amount of oxygen, their waste products, including carbon dioxide, leave the body too slowly. As a result, tissue swelling and the formation of groups of fat cells are observed, which are subsequently covered with thick membranes. Euphyllinum is effective in combating the above issues, since it has the following effect:
- normalizes blood circulation;
- improves blood flow to affected areas;
- enriches cells with oxygen;
- relieves swelling of tissues.
Additionally, the pharmaceutical product demonstrates activity in other areas:
- removes excess fluid from the body;
- speeds up metabolism;
- reduces the volume of fat, promoting weight loss;
- makes the skin smooth, tightened and elastic.
At the moment of contact with the epidermis, Eufillin provokes blood flow, resulting in a tingling and burning sensation. This once again confirms the effectiveness of its action.
Indications for external use of the drug include:
- presence of “orange peel”;
- increase in fat deposits;
- loss of skin elasticity, feeling of looseness.
What is cellulite and what does aminophylline have to do with it?
This ugly name is given to fatty deposits that form in the subcutaneous tissue. They are shaped like small “bumps” that create an “orange peel” effect. Due to a local increase in fat cells, the skin becomes uneven and looks unsightly.
The main reason for this deviation is a violation of local blood circulation. As a result, the cells do not receive the required amount of oxygen, and their waste products accumulate under the skin and are poorly excreted. Tissues in the area where blood circulation is impaired swell. Fatty compounds under the skin merge into entire groups, which in turn are covered with a membrane. Outwardly, it looks like the peel of an orange.
The natural appearance of the skin can only be restored by breaking the partitions through which the fat cells are bound. This problem can be solved in different ways. Today, many effective remedies have been developed to help cope with cellulite:
- Plasters;
- Gels, creams;
- Scrubs;
- Vibrating massagers;
- Other massage devices.
Some women decide to undergo a course of special salon procedures, and some even agree to undergo surgical intervention. However, there is a simple home method that will help you eliminate the hated orange peel practically for free and without leaving your home. You can add the pharmaceutical drug aminophylline against cellulite to any massage or anti-cellulite cream.
How to use
If Eufillin is used to combat cellulite, its use should be external only. The drug is popular as an independent remedy for “orange peel” (applied to the necessary areas), but is more recommended as an ingredient in home cosmetics.
The first thing to start with is preparing the scrub. To do this, 2 ampoules of the drug are combined with 6 tablespoons of coffee grounds. It is recommended to use the scrub every time before anti-cellulite procedures.
There are a sufficient number of home recipes for cellulite with Euphyllin:
Homemade creams
Unlike ready-made ones, home remedies do not contain aggressive components, due to which they do not have a harmful effect on the skin and the entire body. They are easy to prepare and simple to use.
Option 1
This is the easiest option for creating homemade cream with a minimum number of ingredients.
Compound:
- 2 ampoules of Euphyllinum 5 ml each;
- 75 ml nourishing cream.
To prepare the product, just combine the ingredients. Use by thoroughly rubbing into the skin several times a day.
If desired, instead of a nourishing cream, you can use a cream specifically designed to eliminate “orange peel.” Then the composition will be enriched. The proportions with Eufillin solution are 5:1. Use in the same way - rubbing into the epidermis.
Option 2
The following cosmetic composition has good effectiveness:
- one tablet of Eufillin;
- 25 grams of baby cream.
Before combining the components, grind the tablet to a fine crumb, or even better, powder. The finished product is applied to the areas of skin affected by cellulite every day for a month. Rub in for about 5 minutes.
Option 3
For the following recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 Euphyllinum ampoules of 5 ml;
- 50 grams of moisturizer;
- 5 drops of bitter orange essential oil.
After mixing, the components form a highly effective anti-cellulite product that can help even in advanced stages. The secret is the paired work of aminophylline and orange oil, a well-known antioxidant that helps restore skin elasticity.
It is recommended to use this product every other day for 4 weeks.
Option 4
To tighten and model your silhouette, you can use a creamy soufflé based on the following components:
- 30 ml distilled water;
- 1 gram cocoa butter;
- 1.5 ml grape seed oil;
- 1 ml almond oil;
- 1 ml avocado oil;
- 1.5 ml black cumin oil;
- 1 ampoule of Eufillin (5 ml);
- 1.5 ml Aloe Vera gel;
- 1 gram of green tea extract;
- 3 grams of kelp extract;
- 1 gram of raspberry ketones;
- 1 gram of caffeine;
- 2 drops grapefruit essential oil.
To begin with, the total volume of water is divided into 2 portions (15 ml each) and heated. Dry ingredients are added to one - green tea and kelp extracts. Stir until a homogeneous liquid is obtained. Caffeine is added to the other, mixed and fatty ingredients are added: almond oil, grape seed oil, cocoa and avocado. Stir again and add raspberry ketones. The resulting mixture is sent to a steam bath until the ingredients are completely dissolved. Let it cool a little and beat (if you don’t have a special cosmetic mixer, you can do it by hand, but it will take longer to beat). As soon as the composition turns into an emulsion, add black cumin oil, kelp and green tea extracts diluted with water, then pour in Euphyllin and grapefruit essential oil. Lastly, Aloe Vera gel is added. Stir.
The finished product has a slightly liquid consistency, that is, it does not look like a regular cream. Use it in the morning, rubbing well into the areas of the body affected by cellulite.
If you want to extend the shelf life of the product, you can add 10 drops of a preservative to the mixture.
Mixtures for wraps
Wraps are several times more effective than simply applying cream, since during the session the skin can warm up properly under the cling film, and the pores can open up for the penetration of active substances. The main thing is to remember a few simple rules:
- Before the session, you should take a shower and treat problem areas with a scrub.
- You should not wipe your skin dry after a shower - it should be slightly damp.
- You need to wrap yourself in cling film in such a way that it fits snugly to the body, but does not overtighten it.
Important! Wraps are prohibited on menstruation days.
There are no restrictions on the duration of the course - it is important to observe the effect. However, it is not recommended to perform procedures more than 3 times a week.
Recipe 1
The most effective is considered to be a wrap with Eufillin and Dimexide. The latter is credited with a number of useful and important qualities: it stops inflammatory processes, kills pathogens, and has an analgesic effect. But the main role of Dimexide in the composition of the anti-cellulite wrap is to facilitate the penetration of aminophylline under the skin.
To prepare the mass you will need the following composition of ingredients:
- 3 ampoules Euphyllinum (1 ml each);
- 50 grams of emulsification cream;
- 3 drops of lemon, tangerine or cypress essential oil;
- 2 tablespoons of Dimexide.
After mixing, the composition is applied to the skin with light massage movements. Then the treated areas are wrapped in cling film. For greater effect, it is recommended to wear tight shorts or leggings.
The duration of the procedure is 1-1.5 hours. At the end of the session, the skin can be rinsed with cool water.
Recipe 2
As in the previous option, you need to use Dimexide.
Compound:
- 1 ampoule of aminophylline (10 ml);
- 20 ml of still mineral water;
- 10 ml Dimexide.
Preparation begins by dissolving Dimexide in mineral water. This is necessary to prevent burns. Aminophylline is then added and mixed thoroughly. Apply to the skin using a cotton sponge. Wrap it in film and wait half an hour. At the end of the procedure, take a shower and apply moisturizing milk to the previously treated areas.
Recipe 3
This recipe involves wrapping using a special ointment. It is prepared from the following ingredients:
- 50 ml modeling gel;
- 2 tablets of aminophylline;
- half a teaspoon of olive oil;
- 2 drops of bitter orange essential oil.
To begin, aminophylline tablets are crushed to a powder, then added to olive oil and mixed thoroughly. Cream and essential oil are introduced. The finished ointment is placed on the skin, then wrapped in film and put on shorts. You can wrap yourself in a blanket. After 40 minutes, the skin is washed with cool water.
Recipe 4
In order not only to overcome the “orange peel”, but also to quickly lose weight by reducing the volume in the buttocks area, prepare a composition from:
- 5 ml aminophylline;
- 5 ml Dimexide;
- 1 ml caffeine;
- 1 drops capsicam;
- 1 teaspoon body milk.
After mixing the components, the composition is applied to the buttocks and thighs, and covered with cling film on top. For greater effect, it is recommended to wear warm leggings. Exposure time – 2 hours. You can use the mixture for wraps daily until the desired result is achieved.
Massage compositions
According to reviews of Eufillin for cellulite, massage with compositions based on it allows you to see the result after just a few weeks. It is recommended to perform the procedures every other day (unless there are special instructions). Duration – about 20 minutes. There is no need to shower after the session. It is much healthier to cover yourself with a blanket and lie down for half an hour.
Recipe 1
A composition based on aminophylline and petroleum jelly in a 1:1 ratio will help get rid of the “orange peel” and at the same time moisturize the skin. For massage it is used three times a week. The session is performed for 15 minutes, thoroughly rubbing the area with cellulite.
Recipe 2
For this massage product you will need the following components:
- 1 part aminophylline;
- 1 part vegetable oil;
- 2 teaspoons of Vaseline;
- 3 tablespoons of baby cream.
First, Eufillin is combined with warm vegetable oil. Cream and Vaseline are injected. Mix thoroughly. Use for evening massage, applying a thin layer to the skin.
Effect of aminophylline on the skin
In fact, aminophylline is designed as a bronchodilator. In medicine, it is prescribed to patients diagnosed with asthma of any origin and arterial hypertension. Its main effect is vasodilation, relaxation of the bronchial muscles, and improvement of renal blood flow. The drug aminophylline is sold in ampoules, as well as in tablet form.

How does the drug help cope with cellulite and lose weight? One of the abilities of the medicine is to heat the skin when applied topically. A pleasant warmth spreads across the skin, creating a tingling sensation. As a result, blood circulation accelerates, the lower layers of the skin become more toned, and swelling goes away.
Everyone who has tried aminophylline for cellulite speaks quite well of this product. Based on it, you can prepare various masks, creams, and compositions for wraps, which, with constant use, will help cope with the problem that has arisen.
Useful tips
To achieve an effect, the use of Euphyllinum in the fight against cellulite must occur in accordance with the following rules:
- The finished product with aminophylline should be stored in the refrigerator. When exposed to room temperature, it will quickly lose its beneficial properties. An open ampoule of the drug can be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than a day!
- There is no point in preparing a cream or composition for massage or wraps for future use. Fresh drugs work better.
- You can speed up the effect of aminophylline by increasing physical activity. You don't have to go to the gym. It is enough to organize daily walking walks or do light gymnastics three times a week. An equally effective method is cleaning the house. It can be carried out even during the wrapping session.
- It is advisable to reconsider your diet. Since the fight against cellulite requires complexity, it is important to adjust the menu. First of all, you should give up fatty and fried foods, fast food and sweet carbonated drinks. Excessive amounts of caffeine can also be harmful (it is better to replace it with unsweetened green tea). There is a special anti-orange peel diet that is useful to follow. Dietary recommendations are simple:
- more foods containing fiber (vegetables, fruits, legumes, dried fruits, whole grain cereals);
- low-fat dairy and fermented milk products;
- lean meats and fish;
- nuts and seeds.
You need to drink enough clean water every day. It will help remove waste and toxins from the body, which will significantly improve the effect of “therapy”.
Contraindications
Since Eufillin is positioned as a serious drug, it can have more than just a positive effect on the body. To avoid unpleasant moments, a number of contraindications should be taken into account:
- cardiovascular pathologies (heart rhythm disturbances, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, etc.);
- acute infectious diseases;
- renal failure (chronic and acute);
- gynecological pathologies;
- hormonal imbalance;
- pathologies of the thyroid gland and liver;
- peptic ulcer;
- epilepsy.
It is strictly forbidden to use cream or any other product with the addition of aminophylline to combat cellulite for varicose veins, and if there is an individual intolerance.
Side effects and complications
Aminophylline may cause an allergic reaction, so an allergy test should be performed before using it. The procedure involves applying a small amount of the substance to the elbow. The reaction is considered negative if after 15-20 minutes there is no irritation, redness or burning at the application site. If such symptoms are observed, the cream or any other product is considered unsuitable for use.
In the absence of an allergic reaction to the drug, side effects are considered unlikely, but their development cannot be completely ruled out. Some people who are losing weight experience the following symptoms:
- weakness;
- headache;
- dizziness;
- dry mouth;
- sleep disorders.
If you do not stop your weight loss course in a timely manner, complications may develop. The main thing is a regular and unreasonable increase in blood pressure, accompanied by darkening of the eyes and tinnitus.
Reviews and results of losing weight
Ekaterina, 31 years old
When I decided to lose weight and get in shape, I started reading a forum. There I came across information about Eufillin. The girls wrote that it helps well against cellulite, and acts in the same way as caffeine (it warms up and speeds up blood circulation). You can add it to gel or serum. In general, in any chosen product that is applied to the body. The reviews included “before” and “after” photos. I was delighted! The asking price is ridiculous and I decided to buy it. I chose ampoules (there were also tablets at the pharmacy, but I didn’t want to crush them).
I started adding the solution from the ampoules to my cellulite gel. I rubbed it twice a day – morning and evening. Moreover, after evening application, it was wrapped in cling film to enhance the thermal effect. The procedures were carried out every day for a month and a half. There is definitely a result. It seems to me that if you use it constantly, the problem in the form of “bumps” can go away forever.
Marina, 22 years old
In the recent past, I had experience with body wraps that used anti-cellulite cosmetics and nicotinic acid. The nicotine warmed me up very well. Cellulite did go away, but after a while it came back again. Of course, this is my mistake - regularity and complexity are needed.
On the eve of another summer, I decided to try something new. The choice fell on a substance called aminophylline. The pharmacy sold me ampoules with Eufillin. They said it was a trade name. Started using it the same evening. She poured the liquid from the ampoule onto her hand and began to rub it into problem areas. Rubbed until red. I felt warm during the procedures. Not too intrusive. More like pleasant. My course lasted 20 days, and then I simply abandoned it and returned to my favorite store product. Why? Because in three weeks I didn’t see any effect. A pointless remedy.
Anastasia, 28 years old
It seems to me that cellulite is especially terrible at a young age. Neither wear a short skirt nor walk along the beach in a bikini. This problem also affected me. Store-bought cosmetics turned out to be not as effective as they say on the Internet. No matter how much I rub the problem areas, no matter how expensive gels I buy, it’s all in vain. That’s why I decided to take Eufillin. This was my last hope. What to say? It helps, but not right away. In order to see the first hint of the result, I had to work for about 2 months. In addition to using the product, I was on a special diet and drank a lot of water. But if you are as determined as me, be sure to try it.
Massage with aminophylline
Anti-cellulite massage helps to quickly cope with skin unevenness. When adding the drug to the massage cream, the effect will be more pronounced. To do this, pour one ampoule of aminophylline and dimexide into the composition, then massage the areas affected by cellulite well.
The minimum procedure time is 30 minutes. Then you need to put on special anti-cellulite trousers or wrap yourself in cling film for 3-4 hours. The results will be noticeable after the first procedures. Thanks to intense movements during the massage, the tissues warm up well, local blood circulation improves, and irregularities are reduced.

Cupping massage with aminophylline and dimexide helps well with cellulite. To carry it out at home, you will need special silicone jars. A mixture of these medications is first rubbed into the skin, then lubricated with any massage cream and the procedure begins. Due to the warming effect of aminophylline and the vacuum created inside the cans, the surface of the skin becomes smoother after 2-3 procedures, and after 10-15 (depending on the neglect of the subcutaneous tissue), the external manifestations of cellulite disappear completely.
