Cellulite is a very common condition, especially among women. Women are basically genetically and hormonally predisposed to cellulite.
What is Cellulite?
Its name makes it sound like a medical condition. But cellulite is nothing more than normal fat beneath the skin. The fat appears bumpy because it pushes against connective tissue, causing the skin above it to pucker.
Cellulite is a condition in which the skin appears to have areas with underlying fat deposits, giving it a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It is most noticeable on the buttocks and thighs, and usually occurs after puberty.
Causes of cellulite
Having cellulite doesn't mean you are overweight. Even thin people can have it. If you are overweight, however, losing weight may reduce cellulite.
Cellulite is more common among women than men. If other women in your family have cellulite, there's a good chance you will too.
Other factors that influence how much cellulite you have and how visible it is include:
- Poor diet
- Fad dieting
- Slow metabolism
- Lack of physical activity
- Hormone changes
- Dehydration
- Total body fat
- Thickness and color of your skin
Ways to remove cellulite
There are many products and treatments that promise to get rid of cellulite on thighs and buttocks. But there is little evidence that shows that many of them work well or for long. Here is what you should know about some of the options:
Liposuction
This is a surgical procedure to remove fat deposits from the body. Liposuction, though, removes deep fat, not cellulite, which is just beneath the skin.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatments are combined with massage and rolling; they either do suction or rolling and use radio waves and heat up the fat and put fat on a stove in a frying pan, and it melts. It heat it up and hope we can break it down that way, and use section and rollers to try to force it out.
Vigorous Massage
Some cellulite treatments are based on the concept that vigorous massage will increase blood flow, remove toxins and reduce excess fluid in cellulite-prone areas.
Mesotherapy
This procedure involves injecting a solution, which may contain a combination of aminophylline, hormones, enzymes, herbal extracts, vitamins and minerals under the skin. This treatment can cause several unwanted effects, including infection, rashes, and bumpy or uneven skin contours.
Eat a Healthy Diet
A healthy diet plays an important role in keeping the signs of cellulite at bay. Eat plenty of fiber and whole grain foods since they help to remove waste and toxins from the intestinal tract, as well as fruits and vegetables. Increase your daily intake of water, your body will begin to shed its excess fat, including the fat stored as cellulite.
Exercise Regularly
Since cellulite is fat, excess weight can contribute to it. That's why it's important to engage in physical exercise like squats, walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, etc., several times a week.
Moisturize your body with Cellulite Creams
Cellulite Creams that contain a variety of ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and antioxidants are often marketed as the cure for cellulite. L-carnitine aids the body in fat conversion, reducing the balls of fat that are found in between the connective tissues and are the main culprits of cellulite. The lotus flower extract also reduces excess fat, and helps the body get rid of excess fluids. Creams may take longer to show any effects, but may be an easier method for some individuals who have hectic lifestyles and cannot follow a diet or exercising routine.
How can cellulite be prevented?
Eating healthy, low fat foods such as fruits, vegetables, and fiber can help one to avoid cellulite. Similarly exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing stress are recommended to prevent cellulite. In addition wearing thongs, boyshorts, or looser fitting undergarments can prevent cellulite that might form due to tight elastic.
