Buttocks, thighs, arms: What are the causes of cellulite?
Cellulite is also known as orange peel known and describes a change in the surface of the skin. Dimples form, which appear primarily on the thighs, buttocks and upper arms.
Cellulite is not a disease, but a purely aesthetic problem. Many women affected by cellulite are bothered by the changed skin surface and want their skin to appear smoother.
But how does cellulite actually develop? Since women have softer connective tissue than men, cellulite develops much more quickly in women than in men. Many women even have a genetic predisposition to cellulite - the dents appear even if they are not overweight or have a lot of fatty tissue.
These always appear when fat cells put pressure on the connective tissue. The connective tissue fibers in the subcutaneous tissue are pushed to the side and the fat cells protrude - this creates dents on the skin.
An estimated 80 to 95% of all women are affected by cellulite. If you would like to take a closer look at cellulite, the tissue and the skin structure, then you will find many interesting articles on these topics here:
The severity of cellulite at a glance
Before you deal with the treatment methods for cellulite, you should check whether you have cellulite at all and what degree it is. This is an important point in treatment - depending on the severity, different methods may be suitable for you. We summarize for you the severity of cellulite.
Stage I
In stage 1 of cellulite, the skin is smooth when standing. The small dents only become apparent when you sit down. The cellulite also becomes visible when you pinch the skin.
Stage II
If the cellulite is also visible when standing, then it is stage 2. Even without pinching or sitting, the dimples are visible in the affected areas. However, they cannot be seen when lying down.
Stage III
In the third stage of cellulite, the dimples are clearly visible when standing and lying down. In addition, the skin of those affected is loose and has an irregular surface. Lumps can also be felt under the skin and some women also complain of pain.
Treating cellulite: Can exercise help?
When it comes to treating cellulite, exercise is probably the first thing you think of. In fact, for mild forms of cellulite, it can help to train the relevant areas. Because orange peel is caused by subcutaneous fat - if you reduce this, the complexion can improve.
You can do endurance or strength training. It is important that you feel comfortable with the sport and choose sports that you enjoy.
But also keep in mind that sport cannot always combat cellulite. If you have a genetic predisposition and weak connective tissue, then cellulite cannot disappear even through exercise.
If this is the case for you, then in addition to exercise, you can also test the innovative products from skin689 for treating cellulite:
Are massages and contrast showers effective?
If you want to fight your cellulite, you could too Massages and contrast showers help. Both are popular methods for all types of cellulite.
During a massage, the affected tissue is mechanically stimulated. Some patients report that this can improve cellulite. This also applies to massages with special brushes. They are intended to stimulate blood circulation - but so far there is no clinical evidence that massages can permanently reduce cellulite. If you want to reduce the appearance of cellulite, massages could still be worth a try.
This also applies to contrast showers. These also stimulate blood circulation and can help if you want to treat your cellulite. To do this, always alternately pour cold and warm water over the affected areas. Always finish with cold water. It has also not been proven whether contrast showers help in the fight against cellulite.
“One of the most exciting is CHacoll® - which skin689 uses exclusively - it works via a multi-stage mechanism and a communication cascade in the skin and helps specifically where weak connective tissue with a lack of elasticity promotes the spread of fat lobule and increased water retention and thus increases the severity of cellulite can.”
