Cellulite
Cellulite is primarily a skin condition as it has less to do with weight and more with skin elasticity, fat cells and hormones. Cellulite is your subcutaneous body fat, which, due to collagen fibres, has either broken down or grown too taut or too lax. These collagen fibres connect the skin to the underlying muscles. The accumulation of fat cells pushing up against the connective tissue beneath the skin as the fibers work to pull the skin down can cause the skin to look ‘dimpled,’ hence why cellulite is sometimes referred to as the ‘orange peel effect.’
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite is a common cosmetic concern that affects the appearance of the skin, causing a dimpled or lumpy texture. It is most frequently found on the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen. Multiple factors contribute to the development of cellulite, including differences in fat distribution, connective tissue, and muscle structure. The exact cause of cellulite is not known, but it is thought to be caused by toxin build-up causing fat cells to gather and tether under the skin.
Hormonal changes e.g. pregnancy, menopause and age etc can also play a part in the development of cellulite as hormones help regulate lymphatic drainage, blood flow, connective tissue and fat. Cellulite can be graded depending on the severity of the condition which can be explored during consultation to ensure we get the best result for you. While diet and exercise can impact some areas affected by cellulite, many parts of the body are immune. Thankfully here at Perfect Skin Solutions, we can offer various treatments to help target your cellulite.
Cellulite Treatments
Our key treatment solution for all grades of cellulite is the Award-Winning Lipofirm PRO. This revolutionary machine combines fat-destroying ultrasonic cavitation with skin-tightening radio frequency. It can be used on all areas where cellulite may be found. A course of 8 sessions is recommended although a shorter course may be adequate for lower grades of cellulite.
Mesotherapy has been used to treat cellulite for almost 60 years and is growing in popularity in the UK. This involves microinjections of vitamins and minerals including fat-destroying ingredients, directly into affected areas. This can reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Cellulite Treatment Options
There are various treatment options available to reduce the appearance of cellulite. These can be broadly categorized into non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments.
Benefits of Treating Cellulite
Treating cellulite can have numerous benefits, including:
- Improved appearance of the skin: Reducing the appearance of cellulite can lead to smoother, more even skin.
- Boosted self-confidence: Cellulite can be a significant source of self-consciousness for many individuals. By effectively reducing the appearance of cellulite, individuals can feel more confident in their skin.
- Long-lasting results: Many cellulite treatments can provide long-lasting results, with some treatments lasting up to three years or more.
- Minimally invasive: Many cellulite treatments are minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions and local anesthesia.
- Quick recovery: Many cellulite treatments have a relatively short recovery time, allowing individuals to return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
How Do You Get Rid of Cellulite?
Apart from in-clinic options, a healthy diet and physical routine can help to reduce stubborn cellulite. Weight loss combined with an effective treatment can help with cellulite reduction. Regular exercise can be effective to improve skin appearance.
Keep in mind that women are more prone to cellulite due to the natural fat and makeup of the female body. As we age, skin loses elasticity which can mean your body has more loose skin that worsens the appearance of cellulite.
Healthy women and men can still have cellulite which is natural. However, treatments like Lipofirm PRO can reduce the cellulite and the appearance of cellulite.
