What Is Cellulite And What To Do To Reduce Its Appearance

POSTED BY ADMIN | massage | 02 Feb

Why we get cellulite

Cellulite is caused by fat pushing against connective tissue to the skin’s surface, forming not just a smooth effect but the dimpled one we recognise as cellulite. This isbecause fibrous connective cords connect the skin to the underlying muscle, whilstareas  of fat lie between. If or when fat cells accumulate, they are left to push up in the gaps between the connective tissueof the skin as the cords pull down. This creates the uneven surface or dimpling.

Who gets cellulite and what are the reasons

Unfortunately for those amongst us who are females, cellulite is much more common in women than in men. The appearance of cellulite can even develop very early,nas some develop some cellulite soon after the onset of puberty. This happens because the fat in a woman’s body is distributed in greater density in the thighs, hips and buttocks of the female — more so that in men, as is typical of the fuller hips we ladies boast. These are however the most common areas for cellulite. Whether you have seen those tell-tale dimpled signs of cellulite from an early age or not,it becomes more common with aging, when the skin loses elasticity. Weight gain also contributes towards making cellulite more noticeable, but whilst this can exacerbate this problem, it is not exclusively down to this reason, as some slim people also get cellulite. To make things even more difficult, it seems that the appearance of cellulitealso tends to run in families. Soif your genes indicate this may play a role in whether you will develop cellulite, it does seem to be so. Add to the mix lifestyle choices whereit is clear thatan inactive lifestyle may increase the likelihood of having cellulite, as may pregnancy. So,what can you do about lessening its appearance, because in fact there is no known way to get rid of it entirely. But you can improve its appearance with cellulite treatments in Manchester at salons such as this beauty centre in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

Now should be the time to take remedial treatments and look for the best cellulite treatments in Manchester. Where it is already  more severe the skin will look bumpy with defined raised peaks and dips. Whilst cellulite is most frequently seenon the thighs and buttocks, some also experience it forming on the breasts, lower abdomen and upper arms. It does no medical harm, but many do not like its appearance and so many decide to consult a beauty salon that offers cellulite treatments.
