Cellulite is the known orange peel appearance on the skin of the body mainly in women. To understand what cellulite is, we must first look at the anatomy of our skin.
Thus, analyzing our skin from the outer surface inward, first, we see the epidermis. The epidermis surrounds our entire body, and its thickness is on average 0.2mm. We say on average because the thickness varies depending on the part of the body or face.
Below the epidermis is the dermis, the next layer, which has a much greater thickness from 1mm-4mm. There is collagen and elastin.
Finally, the third layer of the skin is the subcutaneous tissue or fatty layer. Its thickness is 4mm-9mm. Its thickness depends on the distribution of fat in each person.
Cellulite is caused when fat and water start to accumulate between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue. These deposits push the connective tissue, thus creating this appearance in various areas of our skin.
Cellulite concerns women more, and this happens because the distribution of fat and connective tissue differs in each gender.
Cellulite has 3 stages:
The first stage is when it is visible when we press a part of the body.
The second stage is when cellulite is visible when we are standing, and finally, the third stage during which it is much more visible even when we are lying down.
Its treatment is multidimensional, which must be done with various means because there are various factors that cause it.
Some of these factors are:
- Genetics
- Racial characteristics
- Hormonal disorders
- Poor Diet
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Lymphatic System Disorders
- Smoking
Some of these factors certainly just exist without us being able to change them. However, there are also some habits that if improved will certainly help in achieving our goal.
