Predominantly found on bottoms, thighs and even upper arms, cellulite strikes women of all ages and all sizes. Cellulite is more common among women than men. If other women in your family have cellulite, there’s a good chance you will too. Cellulite is not related to the condition known as cellulitis, which is a spreading bacterial infection or inflammation of the skin and tissues beneath the skin. An inactive lifestyle also may increase your chances of having cellulite, as may pregnancy. Genetics is only one small part of the cellulite puzzle; factors like diet, exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight also play a role.
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. Sunbathing in the actual sun will only make cellulite worse. UV rays damage your skin by breaking down the collagen and elastin network, making cellulite more visible. The retinoid-based creams have been shown to increase the denseness of the epidermis to facial skin when applied for years. At this time, no large-scale studies have been published on topical retinoids for cellulite removal. You see, treating cellulite requires a systematic approach that involves a few different products and a few lifestyle modifications. Regular exercise helps increase muscle tone and burn fat. Both help to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Many devices, products and creams claim to treat cellulite. But there is little or no scientific evidence to support these claims. If you’re not convinced by a professor of dermatology, you can always try those Spot the Celebrity Cellulite features appearing in gossip mags and online. Cellulite shows fluid retention in the connective tissue fibres of the upper layers of the skin. This fluid can cause the thighs, hips and abdomen to swell. An ideal candidate for Cellfina is somebody who is not too far from their ideal body weight. They should have somewhere between 15-20 dimples, along the buttocks and outer thigh. You can see that a healthy lymph system is critical to stopping the formation and breaking the cellulite building cycle.
Apparently firming cream is meant to serve as a solution for severely wrinkled and sagging skin, like for anyone who may have lost a large amount of weight or given birth to a human. The female hypodermis consists of small ‘recesses’ separated by parallel walls (septa). Due to fat and water which accumulate in these recesses, the walls are compressed, damaging the microcirculation and the natural form of the cell. Endermologie, which is available at many spas, involves kneading the skin with a rolling suction device to boost circulation and stimulate collagen production. Caffeine creams will help by blocking the making of fats by the alpha receptors. Some creams have aminophylline, (a compound in some respiratory drugs) which, like caffeine, works by blocking the alpha receptors. Results are long-term, and the procedure is expected to cost from $2,500 to $3,000 per area.
Your body’s systems are all connected, and the cellulite you see is a symptom of something going on in your body. It’s important to clear your body of toxins regularly, feed your body what it needs and be aware of ways to keep your hormones balanced. It seems that many sources agree that hormones play a large part in cellulite formation (one reason that women typically get it and men don’t) and that working toward proper hormone balance can help reduce cellulite. A diet high in antioxidants – vitamins A, C and E, plus selenium, manganese, zinc and copper – can help to prevent the cell damage that leads to cellulite. Injectable dermal fillers like Restylane and Radiesse, used primarily to plump up sagging cheekbones and remove facial wrinkles, have also shown to be beneficial—at least temporarily—for cellulite-plagued sections of skin. Flax seed is full of essential fatty acids (EFAs) that improve skin elasticity. Flax seeds contain lignans, phytochemicals that help to correct hormone imbalances which can lead to the formation of cellulite.
Now that you know those pesky dimples can be eliminated, time to take the right steps towards treating your body better. “This wrap it is all about lifestyle change,” said owner Aubra Alexander. “It’s a toxin removal process.” Not only does exercise, burn the excess fat that can cause cellulite, it also increase blood flow to the surface of the skin and this plumps the skin making it less noticeable. While there is no known cure to completely banish cellulite, there are ways to help minimize its appearance, so you can don your bathing suit and head to the beach with confidence. Start lifting weight. And if you already lift weight? Keep doing so! Because cardio isn’t going to get rid of all your cellulite. (Nothing is going to get rid of all your cellulite.)
