Do you have skin that seems like it’s dimpled or bumpy? This is cellulite. It’s a prevalent condition, especially in women. Over 80% of women post-puberty will have it, compared to only 10% of men.
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite is just visible fat under the skin, and the more visible the fat is, the more visible it becomes.
Some factors can enhance the presence of this fat:
– Fat Volume: Simply having more fat to begin with.
– Fat Distribution: The distributive way of deposition of fat is seen more in a woman as compared to a man.
– Skin Thickness and Elasticity: The skin thickness is the concealment of the rippled connective tissues below. As skin ages, it loses elasticity, and the fat below becomes more visible.
Cellulite mainly develops on the thighs, hips, buttocks, abs, and sometimes on the breasts. Though not harmful, it states that you are not living a healthy life, although hormones and pregnancy have a role in it, too.
Cellulite Treatments
So, can you get rid of cellulite? Well, it can’t be eliminated entirely, but the overall appearance indeed can be made a lot better.
Diet and Exercise
Diet and exercise are the essential things in losing body fat generally, which will consequently make the cellulite less visible. However, many find it less fat on the body, a far cry from all the effort exerted.
Anti-Cellulite
Some treatments have shown some promise in giving a reduction in the appearance of it:
– Anti-Cellulite Massage: This will help improve circulation, which may lead to temporarily reducing cellulite.
– Endermologie: This mechanical massage can help reduce the appearance of it, as it stimulates lymphatic drainage.
– Fat Dissolving Injections: Aqualyx® is a type of treatment that dissolves fat cells to help reduce cellulite.
– Cellfina/Cellulase: Minimally invasive treatments to cut at bands under the skin.
– Velashape: A body shaping and cellulite reduction device with combined technologies.
– Ultrasound: Focused on and destroys fat cells under the skin.
– Radiofrequency: Tightens skin and enhances it.
– CoolSculpting Cryolipolysis: Freezes fat.
– Creams: There are various creams in the market that are marketed to reduce the apperance, but the effects are mostly temporary and less dramatic compared to the other methods.
Effective Treatments
The best approach to treating cellulite is individually based, but many people get successful results with injections, radiofrequency, and low-frequency ultrasound. Cryolipolysis is also another popular method to target areas from various angles.
Fat-Dissolving Injections
Aqualyx® is an injectable, aqueous solution indicated for the dissolving of fat. It is non-invasive and done in less than an hour. The solution liquifies and dissolves the membranes of the fat cells with the effect of cellulite reduction. For example, ultrasound is applied to the skin, making the liquid or gel used here move in the fat cells under treatment and in the cells next to these, which expand and break. This, in turn, makes the fat cells eject the contained lipids, which are disembodied by the lymphatic system in the body naturally.
Fusion CRF
Thus, the best results are provided when the Aqualyx® is combined with radiofrequency treatment, and Fusion CRF contours the skin in that place and makes it tight post-cellulite-dissolving injection. Both contouring and skin-tightening therapies can be effective for treating fat in areas mentioned earlier.
Cellulite is a common, harmless condition, yet treatment is sought by many to make it look better. With a healthy lifestyle and suitable treatments like Aqualyx® injections and Fusion CRF, cellulite can significantly be reduced.
