How to Get Rid of Cellulite
Cellulite is a condition of the skin, associated connective tissues, and fat that causes a dimpled appearance to the area. While medically harmless, cellulite is a major cause of insecurity in many people. It can appear anywhere on the body although the buttocks and thighs are the most common. While diet and exercise can help with the appearance of cellulite, even very fit people can still have it. In fact, 85-90% of women have some cellulite on their body. Risk factors include sex (women are more affected than men), age (sagging of the skin can accentuate its appearance), and largely genetics.
With any amount of research, anyone can tell that cellulite is notorious for being stubborn and difficult to get rid of. Even weight loss will rarely get rid of it all together. If you are looking to get rid of the appearance of cellulite and feel more confidant, one method that has been more successfully proven by science is laser treatment. Laser targets the bands of tissue that causes dimpling as well as thicken the skin around it. This is important because thin skin is usually associated in areas where cellulite is present. By releasing tight bands, the pull the skin down and thin skin that enhance the appearance of dimples, the end results are reduced appearance of dimples or creating a smooth surface completely. Results can last for months, and touch ups are usually needed.
Other treatment options are radiofrequency, ultrasound, and infrared light as these options increase collagen production which will provide better elasticity to the skin. Additionally, these treatments work to release tight bands so that they are looser. Like the laser treatments, this will reduce dimples as the skin is not being tugged downwards as much.
