What is Cellulite?
Cellulite can often seem like an unshakeable curse. No matter how often you exercise and how many remedies you try, it can be incredibly difficult to get under control. Genetics and hormonal traits create the development of cellulite, which is most commonly visible on the thighs and buttocks.
Cellulite presents itself as dimpling and nodularity of the skin through herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissues. Studies have shown that cellulite occurs in 85%-98% of post pubescent females.
Causes of cellulite
There are a number of factors which lead to the development of cellulite. Generally cellulite begins to develop after puberty and can be due to changes in metabolism, hormones, diet, exercise habits, physiology, or through genetic factors.
Hormonal changes tend to be the most common factor causing noticeable changes in the appearance of the skin and the visibility of cellulite. Specifically, decline in oestrogen levels can cause changes in circulation and a reduction in the production of collagen within the skin. This change in blood circulation, combined with the fat cells becoming larger or more abundant, and a thinner collagen layer will often lead to the development of visible cellulite.
Cellulite risk factors
Cellulite is nine times more common in women than in men. This is due to the way in which their connective tissue and fat cells are arranged compared to men, as well as a difference in hormonal makeup. A family history of cellulite will also increase your chances of developing visible cellulite.
Your risk of cellulite increases greatly when you become pregnant and may also be more prevalent post-pregnancy.
Cellulite myths
MYTH NO. 1 – CELLULITE IS CAUSED BY TOXINS IN THE BODY
Many fad treatments and over-the-counter products may claim to remove cellulite by cleansing you of certain toxins in your body. This is simply not the case. Cellulite is caused by herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissues.
MYTH NO. 2 – CELLULITE ONLY HAPPENS TO UNFIT AND UNHEALTHY PEOPLE
Although it may make the appearance of cellulite more visible, being unfit and unhealthy will not increase your risk of developing cellulite.
MYTH NO. 3 – CARDIO WILL GET RID OF CELLULITE
Running and other forms of cardio may help to keep weight off, which in turn will reduce the visibility of cellulite; however, it will not get rid of cellulite altogether.
Treatment of cellulite
At CosMedik, we offer a range of innovative and effective procedures to help manage cellulite. These include:
Smartlipo is a medical device designed exclusively to perform laser-assisted lipolysis, commonly referred to as laser liposuction. A very thin tube containing the Smartlipo laser fiber is inserted in targeted fatty areas through a small incision. The laser fiber delivers thermal energy directly to fat cells and disrupts the fatty tissue for easy removal. The laser literally melts the fat, which is removed with gentle suction. At the same time, tissue around the area tightens through coagulation, contributing to a smoother shape overall.
SmoothShapes XV uses a process that treats cellulite by combining continuous wave diode laser and LED energy along with mechanical manipulation (vacuum and massage). SmoothShapes XV addresses the underlying causes and physical manifestations of cellulite by treating enlarged fat cells and brittle or inflexible fibre septae, providing results that patients can see and feel.
