Cellulite

Cel­lu­li­te descri­bes the dim­pled struc­tu­re of the skin on the thighs, buttocks and hips. The cau­se lies in the struc­tu­re of fema­le con­nec­ti­ve tis­sue: the con­nec­ti­ve tis­sue sep­ta run ver­ti­cal­ly, which allows lobu­les of fat to press outwards.

Appli­ca­ti­on

Tre­at­ment approa­ches aim at tigh­tening the con­nec­ti­ve tis­sue and redu­cing fat volu­me, for exam­p­le with radio­fre­quen­cy, shock­wa­ves, micro­need­ling or tar­ge­ted injec­tions. Mecha­ni­cal­ly divi­ding indi­vi­du­al sep­ta is ano­ther route.

Good to know

Cel­lu­li­te is not a dise­a­se and also affects slim, ath­le­tic women. No pro­ce­du­re remo­ves it per­ma­nent­ly. A visi­ble impro­ve­ment of the skin’s appearance is rea­li­stic; com­ple­te smoot­hing is not. Sound advice says so openly.
