CELLULITE TREATMENT
Cellulite is a term for the formation of lumps and dimples in the skin.
The research shows between 80 & 90% of women may experience cellulite during their lifetime.
The exact cause of cellulite is not yet clearly established, however it appears to result from an interaction between the connective tissue in the dermatological layer that lies below the surface of the skin, and the layer of fat that is just below it.
In women, the fat cells and connective tissue in this layer are arranged vertically.
​
In men, the tissue has a criss-cross structure, which is less likely to result in cellulite than how it is structured in women.
​
In the presence of cellulite, there is an increase in both the number of fat cells and water retention, giving the skin the orange peel appearance.
Grades of cellulite:
​
Grade 1 – Non-visible dimpling, even when the skin is pinched.
Grade 2 – Seen only when the skin is pinched.
Grade 3 – Visible while standing up, but not when lying down.
Grade 4 – Evident when standing up or lying down.
