Definition: What is Cellulite?Cellulite is a condition known as "dimpling of the skin of the thighs and buttocks."90% of post-adolescent women go on to develop cellulite at some time during their life although it is very hardly ever seen in men. The thighs, buttocks and the stomach are the most common areas for a woman to develop it. This "Cause and Effect" cellulite condition is known to affect women more frequently than men. Learning about cellulite methods of removal, reduction and treatment options is the key to getting rid of cellulite once it occurs. Cellulite is a fatty deposit located in the pockets just below the surface of the skin. As these fatty deposits are located so close to the surface of the skin, cellulite causes the skin to have a dimpled appearance. cellulite is more visible than deeper fat deposits in the body. Cellulite does not occur as a result of being overweight. Both slim women and overweight women can be affected, although cellulite is more often more noticeable in overweight women. Even slim women are affected by cellulite due to the fact that we all have layers of fat just below the surface of the skin.The collagen fibers that connect fat tissue to the skin may stretch, break down or tighten, allowing the fat cells to bulge out and dimple. Although many dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons recognize cellulite as a legitimate cosmetic problem that affects the self-esteem of patients and seek to help them through treatment, most of the medical community does not view cellulite as a skin disorder. Instead, it is considered a normal condition of many women and some men. Regardless of their thoughts, we do not desire to be normal nor to think as they think !

The Cause of CelluliteCellulite is not a mystery and the cause of cellulite need not be a mystery either. Skin with cellulite looks different simply because of how it is arranged. Everyone has strands of connective fat tissue that separate fat cells and skin. In women, these fibers form a honeycomb-like pattern, so any increase in a given area tends to appear as a bulge. You don't see cellulite in men very often as their fibers run in a horizontal, crisscross pattern that prevents bulging or dimpling. Successful treatment of cellulite requires an understanding of the cause of cellulite. Cellulite occurs for two reasons. (1) Our tissue changes with age. Those strands of connective tissue thicken, and our skin gets thinner. (2) More importantly, the average woman loses 5 pounds of muscles and replaces it with about 15 pounds of fat every decade of her adult life. As fat is exceptionally soft, it doesn't keep our skin taut as muscle does. Fat also takes up more space than muscle so it bulges out like cottage cheese; this is the cause of a dimpled cellulite appearance. Due to the composition of the female skin structure, as adipose (fat) tissue increases, it expands into the upper layers of the skin, or the dermis (Drs. Rosenbaum et al.). It is the expansion of this adipose (fat) tissue that causes the overlying skin to protrude (Drs. Nurnberger and Muller). Along with the adipose tissue there is also slight edema in the affected areas. The edema is caused by the retention of water in the skin. Also frameworks of collagen form, causing subsequent sclerosis (Drs. Lotti, Ghersetich, Grappone, and Dini). Cellulite is a condition known as "dimpling of the skin of the thighs and buttocks." This "Cause and Effect" cellulite condition is known to affect women more frequently than men (Dr. Rosenbaum et al). The two most common terms for cellulite are the "mattress phenomenon" or the "orange-peel phenomenon" (Drs. Scherwitz and Braum-Falco). Genetics can also have an impact on whether or not you have cellulite. A poor diet, fad diets, a slower metabolism and dehydration can have an effect on cellulite. And some people have more fat cells, weaker veins, hormonal sensitivity, poor circulation or a more delicate lymphatic system. One way to improve poor circulation or a delicate lymphatic system in a natural, non-chemical way is through the methods of the Sobye Massage. Muscle Exercises for cellulite Reduction! The Sobye's Massage relaxes the muscles giving the skin a chance to smooth out and allows the restricted blood to flow resulting in improvement of cellulite. The past has been problematic for the cellulite sufferer as the artery system supplies blood through a network of curves and angles around the thighs, buttocks and abdomen, with these being the prominent areas for cellulite sufferers seeking treatment. The average adult human has a minimum of 70,000 miles of blood vessels within the body and larger people have even more. So not only cellulite exercise but stretching the body and doing any type of movements of various muscles groups will help immensely as is convenient and available with the work or environment that you are in. While stretching or moving the muscles as much as possible try to take in and exhale five or more big breaths of air occasionally as the situation allows. The medical mechanism of action as a cellulite treatment is the accelerated lymphatic drainage with reduction of the dimpling appearance of cellulite shortly after the massage and in the future if the cellulite treatment massages continue. The Sobye massage is accomplished in three different ways as a cellulite treatment. The Sobye's Massage or 'non surgical cellulite-lift' to avoid lipo-suction is very useful as the underlying tissue has many muscles, which hold tension in many different ways for different purposes. If the muscles are not toned by exercise, the cellulite skin will dimple and bulge. If all the muscles are toned the cellulite skin will have a natural toning, the skin will be smoother and younger looking and the general appearance will be less dimpled. The Sobye massage is accomplished in three different ways as follows: 1. To awaken the skin in the morning or upon arising by "rotating the finger tips on the skin" by holding the finger tips in one place and moving the hand for 10 to 15 seconds or more depending on the person's tolerance. 2. Exercising the underlying muscles by tightening, toning and contracting the muscles UP and DOWN and LEFT and RIGHT and a variety of exercises that you can choose from as to your personal choice and to those that could be watching you. 3. The use of a wash cloth and soap, which additionally cleans the skin and opens the pores as it stimulates the skin. The goal is to relax all of the muscles in the cellulite areas while encouraging better circulation into the skin of the cellulite areas and for proper exiting through the veins.Hard and Soft CelluliteActive people such as athletes and dancers tend to get hard cellulite. Hard cellulite is harder to see because it attaches directly to muscle, but it is also harder to get rid of. Soft cellulite is more loosely attached to the muscle, and as a result is both easier to see and easier to reduce through cellulite treatment and lifestyle changes. Soft cellulite occurs more often in larger parts of the body and may appear to sag. Identifying CelluliteThe pinch test is the quickest and easiest way to identify areas of your body affected by cellulite. Pinch an area of your skin with your thumb and index finger. If the skin seems to dimple and be tender, then it is probably affected by cellulite. The signs of cellulite can include "tightness" or "heaviness" in the legs, tenderness in the skin when pinched or massaged, and unusually cold and white skin. Stages of Cellulite

The inventor of Cellulite-Ltd III, Dr. Lesli Taylor, received an M.D. from Johns Hopkins University and has completed a five-year residency at Harvard University's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, two years of research at Massachusetts General Hospital, and a two-year fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. Dr. Lesli Taylor, M.D. also was the inventor for Rosacea-Ltd III which also sometimes coexist with females that have cellulite. Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha) is a common but poorly understood disorder of the facial skin that continues to baffle many dermatologist just as cellulite baffles dermatologist and most all practitioners. Cellulite is frustrating but rosacea of the face is devastating to rosacea patients. The unusual and misunderstood point is that they co-exist together. The younger female in her 20's and 30's is more interested in cellulite, while the young female in her 40's and 50' is not so much concerned about her legs in swimsuits or shorts, but her facial redness and adult acne roscea which also co-exists with seborrheic dermatitis to make a most frustrating conditon on her professional life as well as her social life. Rosacea affect 14 to 20 million Americans while cellulite affects 70 to 95 million Americians in a much more severe way. And rosacea is becoming moe widespread as the populous baby boom generation enters their 50's. The amazing thing is that the 'etiology or cause' of both cellulite and rosacea are the same. And likewise what improves the appearance of cellulite can improve the appearance of rosacea. Please review the similarity at at the Rosacea-Ltd.Com for more insight into both rosacea and cellulie. You will learn that when the body & brain becomes stressed from the overactive sympathic nervous system that the cellulite begains to increase in size and severity at Rosacea-Ltd: Rosacea Redness and Flushing to learn how stress stimulates the sympathetic nervous system along with a lack of sleep stimulating the sympathetic nervous system (with a minimum of 8 hours being needed) and also anxiety at work or home (fight or flight) stimulating the sympathetic nervous system. Also you will learn that an increase in your body's temperature stimulates the sympathetic nervous system when "acid drinks, foods, and cigarettes or any rosacea triggers" are consumed. Article of the DayUNDERSTANDING CELLULITE FORMATIONCellulite is the expression used to describe pockets of fat, which are located just below the surface of the skin and create a dimpling effect in the skin. This dimpling is irregular and patchy and has been described as having an orange peel or cottage cheese appearance. Cellulite is a fatty deposit but Cellulite is not fat. The term cellulite refers to the dimpled appearance of the skin that some people have on their hips, thighs, and buttocks. The appearance of cellulite is created by deposits of fatty tissue that push and distort the connective tissues beneath skin, leading to the characteristic changes in appearance of the skin, which causes the surface of the skin to dimple or pucker and look lumpy. As these fatty deposits are located so close to the surface of the skin, cellulite causes the skin to have a dimpled appearance. The skin is made up of three distinct layers: 1) The surface layer of the skin is the epidermis. The epidermis is translucent. The epidermis does not contain any blood vessels but gets its oxygen and nutrients from the deeper layers of the skin. At the bottom of the epidermis is a very thin membrane, called the basement membrane, which attaches the epidermis firmly, though not rigidly, to the layer below. 2) The second layer lies deeper and is called the dermis. It contains blood vessels, nerves, hair roots and sweat glands. The junction between the epidermis and the dermis is not straight but undulates in a almost wave-like appearance. A series of finger-like structures called rete pegs project up from the dermis, and similar structures project down from the epidermis. These projections increase the area of contact between the layers of skin, and help to prevent the epidermis from being sheared off. 3) Below the dermis lies a layer of fat, the subcutaneous fat. The depth of this layer differs from one person to another. It contains larger blood vessels and nerves, and is made up of clumps of fat-filled cells called adipose cells. The subcutaneous fat covers the muscles and bones, to which the whole skin structure is attached by connective tissues. The attachment is quite loose, so the skin can move fairly freely. If the subcutaneous tissues fill up with too much fat the areas of attachment become more obvious and the skin cannot move as easily thus creating cellulite. Cellulite tends to develop in the subcutaneous fat layers. This layer of fat is unique in its structure compared to the other layers because its fatty parts are structured into specific chambers by strands of linked tissue around it. These chambers of fat contain bands of connecting tissue that have many fat cells and are surrounded by a liquid that nourishes it and provides an effective waste system. The waste products should be removed, however, because when fluids are trapped in the skin, this connective tissue thickens and gives the dimpling effect of cellulite. Cellulite is a result of circulation and water retention rather than a weight problem. This layer also thickens as we age, which can produce the rippling effect of cellulite too. These accumulations of fluid can be reduced through Lymphatic massage. Hormonal factors such as estrogen and folliculine also play a role in cellulite formation. Cellulite occurs in women as a result of hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause and also whilst taking birth control pills. A woman's hormones are usually responsible for the regulation of their blood flow, fat, connective tissue and lymphatic drainage. The fat cells between the two reserve fat layers situated under the subcutaneous fat layer dissolve into a slack network. The subcutaneous fat layer in a woman is organized into large upright chambers allowing fat to be stored. In men, these chambers are organized into small slanting units. These store smaller fat quantities and are not likely to form cellulite. Cellulite’s formation is a result of complex physiological changes that occur in the subcutaneous fat layer. Regular exercise and well balanced diets do not always reverse or prevent its formation, although an unhealthy lifestyle will make the overall appearance worse over time due to poor nutrition, weight gain and lack of sufficient water intake. With age there is a loss in the thickness and tone of the connective tissue in the superficial fat layer and the dermis allowing cellulite to be more noticeable. Latest headlines from Cellulite-Ltd International NewsSix Steps to Getting Rid of Cellulite Diet is important in reducing cellulite. Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins which are stored in fat tissue. Avoid excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol, and foods high in fat or sugar e.g. chocolate and candy. Avoid foods high in salt and refined carbohydrates like white flour, bread and rice. Eat plenty of fiber [...] (read more) Recent articles: |
