| Cellulite - A Major problem
Young and old, underweight and overweight, all women are subject to cellulite and the problem only becomes worse with time. Gradually, the lumpy orange-peel effect of cellulite becomes more pronounced on the hips, abdomen, thighs and buttocks. A more sedentary lifestyle and unbalanced diet contribute further to the development of cellulite and the appearance of localised rolls of fat. The Orange - Peel appearance of skin known as cellulite results from the abnormal storage of fat in the skin and subcutaneous connective tissue retraction. This phenomenon is more common in women and involves the storage of fat in the adipocytes (fat cells in the hypodermis) as well as water in the dermis and hypodermis. As the adipocytes increase in size, their membranes become distorted and pull on their points of fixation within the skin causing the Orange - Peel effect. In women, the tissue is particularly sensitive to variations in hormone levels (menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause) which promote the storage and build-up of fat reserves. Most women have tried in vain to remove cellulite with everything from diet and intense exercise to cellulite creams, traditional and alternative remedies and slimming drugs. Cellulite can be diagnosed and categorised into four stages. The more advanced the condition of cellulite, the greater the effort required to treat it. When treating cellulite, the congested lymph and waste system needs to be cleared, the fibrosis around the hardened pockets of fat needs to be softened or broken down and the weak network of collagen and elastin fibres needs to be strengthened and re-modeled. With the revolutionary LIPOMASSAGE™ by ENDERMOLOGIE® technique, the dream of all women, to rid themselves of their excess curves and unattractive orange-peel areas, is now a reality!!!
