Celulite

Cellulite is a condition in which there is an uneven distribution of fat, water, and toxins under the epidermis of the skin, creating the appearance of irregularities, lumps, and bumps, usually on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms. Cellulite is widespread among women but can also occur in men, although much less often.

Longer category description: Cellulite

The formation of cellulite is related to several factors. One is the structure of fat cells and connective tissue under the skin. Fat cells are arranged in vertical ridges in women, while in men, they are more horizontally arranged. As fat cells accumulate and increase in volume, they can press on the connective tissue and cause it to stretch, leading to cellulite formation. In addition, genetics, hormonal changes, improper diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, stress, poor blood circulation, obesity, and age can also affect the formation of cellulite. Anti-cellulite products are intended to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve the condition of the skin. Creams and gels contain caffeine, retinol, algae extracts, aminophylline, plant extracts, and antioxidants that can help break down fat cells, improve blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and increase skin elasticity. Massage rollers, electric massage devices, and hand tools can perform massage techniques that stimulate lymphatic drainage, improve blood circulation, reduce water retention, and break down fat cells. Shapewear such as compression pants, girdles, and stockings can help shape the body, reduce water retention, improve blood circulation, and reduce the appearance of cellulite under clothing. The best results are usually achieved through a healthy diet, exercise, hydration, massage, stress reduction, and regular use of anti-cellulite products.
