Cellulite

Cellulite 

What is it!
 Cellulite is fat, but with a different appearance than other fat. It looks like dimpled skin, sort of cottage-cheesy, and most often shows up on the thighs, hips, and buttocks.   
Cellulite is more common in women than men




Causes of Cellulite? Cellulite is a skin problem not a fat problem

  • Abnormal attachments between your skin and the underlying tissue in your body

  • Hormonally

  • Genetics
Cellulite Treatment:

  • Thermage (heat treatment)

  • Lasers, Lights, Vacuums, Massage

  • Liposuction

  • Mesotherapy (not FDA approved)

  • Creams and Potions

  • Laser resurfacing treatments

  • Surgery

  • Tissue Fillers

  • Cryolipolysis (chilling your fat)
A nutrient rich diet that emphasizes essential fatty acids, amino acids and antioxidants will help reduce cellular inflammation, reduce fluids and increase skin circulation.

There is no cure for Cellulite but many treatments to reduce the appearance.
