Cellulite is an ‘orange peel’ effect seen on abdomen, buttocks and thighs which gives your skin dimpled appearance. Its considered to be an important factor on issues to do with confidence, body image and self-esteem.
It is not a medical condition but its the name given on the effect caused when fat underneath your skin pushes against this causing it to develop an dimpled and uneven appearance.
This subcutaneous fat is actually series of 3 layers which lies underneath the dermis and epidermis. It is structured as large chambers surrounded by strands of connective tissue and act as storage for fat.
These chamber is larger in women than men which why women have greater tendency on cellulite. Plus the fact that women have greater amounts of body fats compared in men and tend to store this around the thighs, hips and buttocks.
It is rare on men to get a cellulite. Few unlucky males do but they are in minority. The way we store fat is determined by hormones,genetics, metabolism and our lifestyle. A lack of exercise, poor diet, insufficient hydration and a genetic inheritance means that you are at risk of developing cellulites. And changes with in the subcutaneous fat layers can cause an increase of fat and reduction in flexibility in connective tissues: these rigid strands of tissue mean that pockets of fat form and bulge up against our skin.
Lifestyle factors are cause but also hormones, in particular the female hormone estrogen. And, unfortunately, this is where women lose out as it fluctuates at times throughout their life.
Poor lifestyle can cause cellulite but even a exercise and a healthy diet cant prevent us from developing this condition. It can improve it but does not get rid of it.
Even fit female develop cellulite.
If your mother or any female relatives have cellulite then you will surley follow the same pattern. Even if we are slim and trim this does not protect you against it.
An answer to the problem of cellulite is Dr. Roller dermaroller. This handheld device penetrates top layer of your skin but without any bleeding or pain.
This results a series of tiny wounds which also stimulate production of elastin and collagen, (substances within the skin which are essential for its strength and flexibility.)
As new collagen is grown it causes the skin become stronger, thicker and elastic. It also improves circulation of blood and gives a youthful glow to skin.
A vitamin based cream is applied to the skin following the treatment which helps lubricate the skin and further aids collagen growth.
Cellulite, along with stretch marks and deep seated scars requires a dermaroller with longer micro-needle, sized needle.
Regular sessions of dermarolling means a reduction in cellulite and get better looking skin. It also works in conjunction with anti-cellulite creams and it can boost their effectiveness.
