Who Gets Cellulite and Where to Look for it…
You should be aware that just because you have cellulite it does not mean that you are overweight. Cellulite appears on all shapes and sizes. The most common problem areas are on women's thighs and on their lower buttocks. However, cellulite can be in different areas such as when you squeeze two pieces of skin together, you will sometimes see cellulite that is not visible to the naked eye.
Cellulite can also rear itself in your upper arms, and anywhere that has excess fat or skin. In more of a scientific explanation, cellulite will be seen anywhere that the skin has decreased amounts of collagen.
Why Do We Get Cellulite…
A common reason why we get cellulite is because our skin has lost large amounts of collagen. Collagen is what gives our skin its elasticity. This is why we usually get cellulite more as we age. This can also explain why we see cellulite more on women then men. Because women have the ability to rear children, our bodies tend to store fat in certain areas. We store fat for longer amounts of time then men as well. Cellulite will be seen in the areas where women store more fat. Men in comparison do not store fat in certain areas, rather their bodies have fat evenly distributed throughout the body.
Cellulite is fat cells that are located directly under the skin. There are many things that will be factors in whether or not you will be more likely to get cellulite. However, there is not actual theory on why cellulite is formed.
A few of the determining factors for cellulite are age, sex, skin elasticity, thickness of skin, and weight are all things that could play a role in why women and men suffer from cellulite.
Your body produces natural collagen all the time, but over the years it begins to decrease those amounts and the outcome is cellulite. Another explanation is the amount of toxins you ingest through the foods you eat, hormonal imbalances, and fat distribution in the body as mentioned above. The effects of these explanations are a large amount of fat cells being pressed against the skin creating a rippled effect. Even though we do not know the actual cause of cellulite, we know how you can get rid of it, or try to hide it.
Treating Cellulite…
If you have tried to get rid of your cellulite before, you know how hard it can be. It is not impossible, but it is often easier to try and hide it then to get rid of it. If you do want to get rid of it, it can be a painful process. Whatever the case you will be able to find your successful technique below. Here are our ten methods to a cellulite free new you…
Creams
Wraps
Diet and exercise
Massage
Endermologie lipomassage
Laser treatment
Liposuction
Mesotherapy
Lipodissolve
Velasmooth
Creams
Creams are a great way of making the skin appear cellulite free. However, they are not effective in getting rid of the cellulite all together. The great thing about them is they are pain free, so no surgery is required. They can be expensive, so do your research to find the most effective one.
Wraps
Body wraps can be a nice treat for you with or without cellulite. They are good for the skin and aid in moisturizing it. You want to take care of your skin, as you will be happier in the long run. Our skin takes a beating from the sun and toxins in the air, so give it a present with a body wrap.
Diet and Exercise
Diet and Exercise are probably the two best things for you when trying to get rid of cellulite. It is one of the hardest and longest ways, but the most effective one at that. This does not mean starving yourself, it means caring about what foods you put into your body, and maintaining a healthy weight. With this method you will not have to be scared of the cellulite retuning after a few days or months.
Massage
Massage can be a good way of reducing the appearance of cellulite, but by no means does it get rid of it all together. Massage just simply makes the skin appear smooth because it has a swelling effect on the skin. In other words it is used to cover up the cellulite, not treat it.
Endermologie Lipomassage
Endermologie Lipomassage is a more invasive technique then those previously mentioned. It entails a massage with a mechanized device. It is not your ordinary massage like those offered by spa or health care professionals. Rather it is offered through surgeons, dermatologists, or specialists.
Laser Treatment
You can also treat cellulite with lasers. Laser treatment is a laser massage that helps treat cellulite through infradermic techniques. It does have good results, but you may need to keep going for the treatment. Therefore it is not effective in the longer term.
Liposuction
Liposuction is also a successful treatment method. However, it is not used for cellulite. Rather it is used to suck out excess fat deposits, which can have a positive effect on cellulite.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a chemical injection similar to botox. It is directed into the cellulite and has a positive effect on reducing the visibility of it. However, it may require more then one injection, and it can be painful. It is also very expensive.
Lipodissolve
Lipodissolve is across between Liposuction and mesotherapy. This technique should be used to get rid of fatty deposits under the skin, and not solely for cellulite.
Velasmooth
Velasmooth is a neat technique where light, sound and massage are used to bring back the elasticity of the skin. It is only a temporary treatment though, and will involve reoccurring visits.
At this point you should be able to find one technique that will work for you. Sometimes you must be willing to try new methods, or have multiple treatments. Cellulite can be ugly to look at, but perhaps it is not worth the money or the pin of getting rid of it. Try to find which one works for you emotionally and financially. Remember the most important thing is that you feel good about yourself.
