Cellulite Conundrum

Are you uncomfortable with cellulite on your legs and other areas? You’re not alone. Nearly all women and many men have cellulite. Cellulite appears more often in women than men due to women not only having thinner skin, but due to the way fat attaches just under the skin in bands called septea. In women, these bands run straight up and down under the skin and begin to pull straight down. As the bands pull down, the result on the outside skin is the forming of a dimple, indentation or lumpy appearance. On men these septea bands pull at an angle and through thicker skin are more easily disguised.

Unfortunately there is no cure from cellulite forming, as cellulite is not an issue of being fat. “Although cellulite IS a form of fat, its causes and cures have little to do with diet, exercise or lifestyle. It can result from a complex combination of factors ranging from hormones to heredity... While exercise -- part of any healthy lifestyle -- tones muscles, burns calories, and increases blood flow, it does not target cellulite specifically. A sensible diet that is low in fat and rich in antioxidants and adequate water intake may help prevent the formation of cellulite, but cannot reduce it once formed... Truly combating cellulite must be done at its source, on a cellular level.”  http://www.mfacrc.com.au/cellulite_faq.htm

There are a variety of effective cellular treatment techniques for cellulite which do work. The Venus Freeze procedure is a non-invasive treatment that generates heat to reduce the appearance of cellulite and tighten the skin. Ultrasound treatments use sound waves to destroy fat cells beneath the surface of your skin without the need for incisions. Laser and liposuction treatments require a number of tiny incisions to insert a laser fiber or liposuction cannula beneath the skin. The laser fiber liquefies fat and promotes collagen production, while the cannula removes excess fat cells to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
