Why Cellulite Occurs?

Cellulite is the formation of an indented and rough appearance on the surface of the skin as a result of the subcutaneous fat tissue being pulled by the connective tissue fibres under the skin. It is usually seen in areas such as hips, thighs and abdomen. There are many factors among the causes of cellulite formation and these factors usually lead to the formation of cellulite when they come together:

Genetic Factors: Genetic predisposition plays an important role in cellulite formation. Individuals with a family history of cellulitis are more likely to have cellulitis.

Hormonal Factors: Especially estrogen hormone is believed to have an important effect on cellulite formation. It has been observed that cellulite increases during periods of hormonal changes such as menopause, pregnancy and puberty.

Lifestyle Factors: Lifestyle factors such as low physical activity level, unbalanced eating habits, high fat, sugar and processed food consumption can trigger cellulite formation.

Fluid Retention: Fluid retention and poor circulation in the body can lead to the accumulation of toxins and the formation of cellulite.

Poor Blood Circulation: Inadequate blood circulation can cause a decrease in oxygen and nutrients in the subcutaneous tissues, which facilitates the formation of cellulite.

Fat Tissue Quantity and Distribution: Excessive amount of adipose tissue in the body and imbalances in its distribution can also affect the appearance of cellulite.

Skin Structure and Thickness: Skin structure and thickness also play a role in the appearance of cellulite. Thin skin can cause the fat tissue underneath to become more prominent.

Cellulite is more common among women because women’s subcutaneous fat and connective tissue differ from men. In addition, women’s subcutaneous fat tissue has a more horizontal structure than men, which creates a more favourable environment for the formation of cellulite. A healthy lifestyle, regular exercise and a balanced diet are important for preventing or reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite is the indented and rough appearance formed on the skin surface as a result of the interaction of fat cells under the skin with connective tissue.

What are the Treatment Methods? 

Cellulite treatment methods at Luxury Beauty Centre are as follows: 

Emslim Massage: sends high intensity electromagnetic waves through an applicator placed on the targeted area. These waves force the muscles to contract at a maximal level, an effect far beyond the contractions that can be achieved during normal exercise. The treatment produces an effect equivalent to about 20,000 muscle contractions. In the process, muscle tissue is strengthened and rebuilt, while fat cells are broken down at the same time.

G5 Massage: G5 massage is a mechanical vibration therapy for deep tissues. G5 carries the name of a specially designed massager and this device works by applying intense vibrations to various parts of the body. The aim of G5 massage is to reduce muscle tension, increase circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage. This method is used in athletes to relieve muscle fatigue, reduce the appearance of cellulite and provide general relaxation.

Lymph Drainage Lymph drainage is a treatment method that supports the proper functioning of the lymph system. The lymph system transports excess fluid (lymph) from the body, filters toxins and waste and supports the immune system. Lymph drainage is usually performed with a special massage technique, usually by hand, which promotes the flow of lymph and helps to remove toxins from the body. This method is particularly effective when the lymph system is slowed down or blocked and is used to detoxify the body and reduce oedema and swelling.

Sudatonic Sudatonic is a therapy system designed to support body firming and detoxification. This system is especially used to help weight loss by promoting fat burning and to support the skin to gain a firmer appearance. Sudatonic therapy is based on the principle of applying a special formulation on the body and then increasing the heat by wrapping the body with an infrared blanket or similar device. During this process, the body temperature increases, which allows toxins to be removed through sweating and fatty acids to be metabolised.
