Cellulite 101
Eighty-five percent of women have cellulite! Fortunately
there are new and effective solutions to help reduce the appearance of dimpled,
lumpy skin. Cellulite occurs when fat beneath the skin is pushed against the
surrounding connective tissue, this bulging causes a lumpy, indented texture.
The main causes of cellulite include: poor circulation,
buildup of toxins in your fatty tissues, loose skin, lack of exercise and
genetics. For most women their cellulite has a multifactorial origin and
requires a combination of treatments to address them all.
Let’s break down the causes and corresponding treatments:
- Poor Circulation: Stimulating blood and lymph
flow helps reduce the dimples associated with cellulite. The best way to do
this is with a method referred to as “dry brushing.” You can find natural
bristle brushed at your local target or pharmacy. The area must be brushed
daily for full effect. Brush the area with light pressure until the skin turns
a mild pink color.
- Buildup of Toxins: Toxins from diet or chemicals
you absorb from lotions can build up in fat cells and cause them to expand.
Bladderwrack Seaweed aids the body’s natural detoxification process and removes
toxins from the cells, for smoother skin.
- Loose skin: With age and fluctuations in weight the
collagen fibers in our tissues weaken, causing dimpling. Skin tightening cream
and procedures can help reverse the process and improve skin texture.
Specifically, micro-needling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can help re-build
collagen, tighten skin and improve the texture. The procedure is simple and
painless. First, PRP is derived from the clients own blood, same procedure as
drawing blood for annual lab work. Micro-needling creates microchannels in the
skin and the PRP is massaged into the skin for absorption.
- Lack of exercise: If you increase your daily
activities and exercise you can firm your body and reduce the appearance of
cellulite. Weight training and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) have
been recognized as the best fat burners. Below we have included an example of
an at home HIIT workout that you can use to get started!
- Genetics: While all of the above treatments will
help reduce cellulite, women falling into this category might be seeking
further treatment. If you’ve failed conservative treatment and PRP with
micro-needling the next best option is to see a plastic surgeon and be
evaluated for Cellfina. Cellfina is a minimally invasive one time treatment
that uses a microblade to cut through fibrous bands that cause cellulite.
Results vary by client and can last up to 3 years. Diet and exercise must be
maintained for results to last.
