Many
women have cellulite, and a lot of them will treat it as an aesthetic
problem, but not a medical condition, because cellulite is a normal
phenomenon in human. There
are several myths and facts of cellulite that I would like to share
with the readers of Ido’s clinic.
Myth
1 : Cellulite is caused by excessive fat
Cellulite refers to
the skin appearance which turns puckered and dimpled because of
disruption of skin structures. Fat tissues are lying in between the
skin and muscle layers. Fibrous septa, which is part of the
connective tissues, wraps around the fat tissues. Risk factors such
as age, genetics, weight change, stress and poor lymphatic drainage
can weaken the connective tissues and irregular fat cells protrude
through the skin, making the skin tether to the underlying muscles,
giving the skin a puckering and dimpling look.
Myth 2 : Cellulite only affects women / obese people
Cellulite
affects both men and women, although it is more obvious in women
compared to men due to various factors such as female hormone
(estrogen) and differences in fat, connective tissues and muscle
distribution. Cellulite may be more visible in obese person but it
also occurs in thin, young, athletic persons, and even those who have
normal body weight.
Myth
3 : Cellulite can be done away by weight loss
As
cellulite is not caused by excessive fat tissues, weight loss will
not be able to remove skin dimples. In fact, building of muscle tone
helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Strength training of the
cellulite-affected areas like thighs, buttocks, hips, arms and
abdomen works too.
Myth
4 : Drinking plenty of water can reduce appearance of cellulite
Although
some studies suggest the culprit of cellulite could be the
accumulation of toxin in the body tissues, there is no scientific
evidence that drinking plenty of water can reduce the unsightly
appearance.
Treatments
of cellulite
Radiofrequency (RF) : RF is a promising technology for non- surgical body contouring, as well as fat and cellulite reduction. It generates heat, which helps in tightening the skin by stimulating collagen remodeling. It also improves the removal of fat cells via lymphatic drainage. Thus, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Mesotherapy
: This involves the Injection of
microscopic quantities of natural plant extracts, vitamin and
caffeine into the specific areas of the body where the excessive fat
is stored. The broken-down fat will then be flushed out of the body.
Mesotherapy is used as an assisting
therapy to treat cellulite.
Liposuction
: Some people turn to liposuction as
the treatment of cellulite. Liposuction only helps to remove the fats
but is unable to reverse the pucker and dimple skin. In some cases,
liposuction worsens the condition as the skin becomes looser after
the procedure. However, the new technology of laser assisted
liposuction is able to destroy the fats cells, while tightening the
skin at the same time.
Massage
with topical creams: Vigorous massage
may help in improving blood circulation, reducing the toxin level in
the body and reducing excessive fluid in the cellulite-prone areas.
In addition to massage, effective topical cream can also be used to
ameliorate the condition. However, the result does not last long.
