Call it orange peel or cottage cheese skin, those little dimpled skin lumps known as Cellulite may not be the most attractive feature in our body, but it is one of the most common things to have.
It can affect both men and women, although it is more prevalent among the latter due to the different composition of women’s fat cells and connective tissue layers, thus making them more susceptible to this phenomenon. In fact, almost all women will experience having cellulite in one form or another starting around their post-puberty age.
The severity of cellulite appearance can be mild to severe, depending on the number and depth of the indentations, as well as the sagging or draping level of the cellulite-laden area. They usually appear on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and stomach.
The root cause and origin of cellulite is not exactly known; however, their appearance comes from the fibrous bands of connective skin tissues and the fat deposits underneath them.
This dimpled protrusion of fats into the skin could be due to several factors such as hormonal changes, decreased collagen production, blood circulation, genetics, inactive lifestyle, unhealthy diet, smoking, among several others.
Contrary to common misconception, cellulite can affect anyone regardless of weight or body type. Lean and fit people can have them too. It can appear as early as teenage years, although on average, it is more prevalent to appear in women aged 25 and above.
No matter how common and even natural it is to have cellulite, it is understandable how some people still find it unsightly and would go to lengths to try and hide them.
Sure, there are plenty of home remedies that are easy to do and are readily available, however, these DIY cellulite treatments can only do so much and the effects are often only temporary.
If you are looking for long-lasting solutions, read on to find out the 3 best treatments for cellulite that we can offer.
Coolsculpting
Cryolipolysis or Coolsculpting is a non-invasive procedure for effectively removing stubborn fat deposits under the skin.
The process involves using cryolipolysis, a fat reducer, which works by cooling fats down to freezing temperature until the fat cells die. After which, the frozen cells are suctioned out, greatly reducing fat deposits around the targeted area.
The procedure is often done on specific body parts that are usually prone to fat build ups such as the abdomen, thighs, lower back, sides, arms, legs, and buttocks. These areas are the usual targets of cellulite as well.
Being a non-surgical procedure, Coolsculpting is a highly sought-after treatment for those who wish to trim down their problem areas in a non-invasive way.
This procedure also has a high success rate and typically low chance of having side effects. Coolsculpting permanently kills off and removes targeted fat cells thus when coupled with a healthy diet, it kicks start further fat reduction.
To add, it is a relatively quick procedure that takes 1 hour on average, and does not require any recovery downtime.
Laser Treatment
Among the many factors that affect the appearance of cellulite are the skin and its thickness. As we age, we become more prone to having cellulite as our skin loses its elasticity more and more. Having thinner skin means the tissue and fat deposits underneath could become more pronounced.
With this, an option for cellulite treatment is to foster healthy skin, particularly its firmness and elasticity, and laser skin treatment is one of the best ways to go.
There are many different kinds of laser skin treatment, and some are particularly made for specific purposes and problem areas.
Generally speaking, laser treatments work by heating up the tissues beneath the skin’s surface with the use of light energy. This method relaxes connective tissues and stimulates collagen production. As a result, the skin’s elasticity, texture, and thickness improve, thereby reducing bumps and flaws.
For longer-lasting and ideal results, several sessions may be needed. The procedure is typically painless, and no downtime is needed for recovery.
VASER Hi-Def Liposuction
Nowadays, you will find that there are many different types of liposuction procedures being offered, although no matter the type, liposuction generally works around the same basic purpose, which is to break apart and remove fat deposits from the body.
VASER Hi-Def Liposuction is a type of liposuction that uses ultrasound technology. What sets it apart from the traditional liposuction is the use of powerful but precise ultrasound waves that work by first breaking apart fat cell bonds, which makes it easier to remove.
It even reaches deeper fatty tissues without affecting the healthy tissues and muscles underneath. In addition, it also aids in tightening the skin around the treated area.
With this, the VASER Hi-Def Liposuction offers more defined and contoured results compared with the traditional and more straightforward liposuction procedure, which normally does not include addressing issues with saggy skin or cellulite thereafter.
The VASER Hi-Def Liposuction is typically a gentler type of liposuction procedure and is usually applied on the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Depending on the area, the whole procedure lasts up to 2 hours, and the recovery period will be up to 7 days on average.
