Cellulite is a hot topic well discussed and investigated. Just like “old wives tales”, Cellulite has its myths and mysteries to be busted. Below are only 5 myths out of many that relate to the dreadful cellulite and anti cellulite treatments:
Myth 1: Cellulite is typical to overweight people.
It is not true that cellulite is a problem of overweight people only, it is a condition that crosses boundaries of weight and even slender people may suffer from cellulite. Cellulite is caused by the superficial fat (located in the hypodermis layer of the skin). This is not the fat layer that will be first affected by diet. Losing weight will not necessarily help get rid of cellulite as the fat reduced is the deeper fat layers.
Myth 2: Cellulite is a condition related only to aging.
Cellulite is a condition that is common to females; even very young women can “suffer” from cellulite. It is true that the condition gets worse as we age due to the fact that the skin ages and losses its tightness, hence we see more of the “orange peel” texture related to cellulite as the fat cells bulge and press against the skin.
Myth 3: Liposuction can also remove cellulite.
Liposuction is a method for removal of excess localized fat. Unfortunately Liposuction does not remove the superficial fat of the skin layer; therefore it does not assist with reducing the appearance of cellulite. In fact at times liposuction can make the appearance of cellulite look worse as the skin might become uneven post the procedure.
Myth 4: The only way to treat cellulite is to do cellulite exercises
Exercise increases and improves blood circulation; this indeed can help with prevention of cellulite and in general with body firming. However, if cellulite is already present, exercising will not help eliminating it. Of course I do not overlook the importance of exercise for general body toning and health but for treatment of cellulite additional steps are needed.
Myth 5: Special diet can help get rid of cellulite and prevent cellulite.
If you search the web for “Anti Cellulite diet” or “Anti cellulite Food” you will get lists of curing diet combinations, things to eat and food to avoid. In reality diet will not affect cellulite. Of course it is important to eat healthy food and to avoid processed food but this has no affect on cellulite. Of course you can improve your skin texture and your general looks by caring about what you eat but you will need more than a diet in-order to target cellulite.
The truth is that cellulite is best tackled with combination treatments. One great addition to the battle against cellulite are specific technologies that tackle specifically the superficial fat layer in the skin. RF is one of the gold standard technologies for treating cellulite by reducing the size of the fat cells in the superficial fat layer, in addition RF also strengthens and tightens the dermis in the skin, the tighter the skin, the less effect do the fat cells pushing up against them have. There are plenty of professional RF devices for anti cellulite treatment in the market. The only RF device for home use, though, is the TriPollar POSE. Similar to the professional devices, TriPollar POSE treats cellulite by focusing direct heat to the fat cells in those specific areas with cellulite. TriPollar POSE heats the fat cells deep within the skin (hypodermis layer of skin), accelerating liquid fat release and immediately shrinking their size. At the same time there is a contraction of collagen fibers in the skin restoring it closer to its original form and increasing the rate of collagen fiber production for long lasting clinical results of smoother, more contoured body, while reducing the appearance of cellulite. Of course, one should exercise, eat well, and perform specific circulation improvement exercises. These are always great for improving skin over all appearance and will actually enhance the results achieved by using the TriPollar POSE. A good lifestyle might delay or assist with minimizing the cellulite. So remember, for best results it is best to tackle this specific problem with specifically designed technology, enhanced with life style change.
Cheers for a orange peel look on the edge of a cool drink and not on your thighs.
