How to Get Rid of Cellulite | Medi Tricks
Here are 7 tips and tricks to help you reduce cellulite safely.
Cellulite is caused by a
combination of genetic as well as lifestyle factors. Basically, it
gives a dimpled effect on skin due to the presence of fat beneath the
skin.
It happens when fat
pushes up through the connective tissues. Consequently, they start
bulging and pressing against the skin, thereby causing a rippled and
uneven appearance.
Due to its appearance, cellulite is also referred to as cottage cheese skin, orange peel syndrome, and the mattress phenomenon.
It is more common in women than men because of different organization of their body fat and structure of the connective tissues.
To be more specific, the
connective tissues appear in a criss-cross pattern in males and in a
vertical, mattress springs-like pattern in women.
More often than not,
cellulite develops in areas like the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, that is,
areas containing deep layers of fat for reserve. However, it can
develop in other areas like breasts and upper arms, too. Furthermore, it
appears worse during old age as the skin tends to become thinner with
increasing age.
Contrary to the popular
misconception, cellulite is common in overweight as well as thin people.
In fact, it is believed that about 95% of postpubertal women tend to
develop cellulite at least to some extent
Thus, if you are having
this problem, it does not necessarily mean that you are overweight,
especially if you have a localized, ‘spongey’ cellulite which contains
more fluids than fats.
Cellulite can be caused
by a variety of factors such as hormonal factors (estrogen, insulin,
prolactin, adrenaline, noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, etc.), genetics,
excess body fat, excessive dieting, changes in metabolism, stress,
alteration of the connective tissue structure, microcirculation
impairment, and so on. The exact cause of cellulite, however, is not
well understood as yet.
