Cellulite: What causes it and how to reduce its appearance without surgery?

Although almost all women have some kind of cellulite deposits on their bodies, in the past few decades, eliminating the appearance of cellulite has been a major focus of the beauty industry. The negative information about cellulite makes many women feel very uncomfortable and embarrassed about their curves.
However, more balanced information about physical positivity has recently begun to gain momentum. The message is clear; let us celebrate women’s choice of their bodies. Whether they choose to show off their cellulite or seek ways to reduce its appearance, there should be no judgment.
Women have different fat, muscle and connective tissue distributions in certain parts of the body. Genetics can affect the number of cellulite in women, as well as age, collagen loss and body fat percentage.
Other factors that may affect the amount of cellulite in women include: hormones (decreased estrogen), poor diet and inactive lifestyle, accumulated toxins, and obesity.
According to “Scientific American” reports, most women begin to see cellulite appear between the ages of 25-35. As women age, estrogen begins to decrease, which affects blood circulation. The reduction of blood circulation will affect the health of cells and the production of collagen, thus keeping the skin strong and elastic.
Toxins from unhealthy diets and lifestyles reduce blood circulation and skin elasticity, and increase the appearance of cellulite. Make sure you eat a healthy, balanced diet that includes brightly colored fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants. Don’t forget to stay hydrated. Water helps flush out toxins from the body, so make sure to drink at least 8 glasses of fluids a day.
Exercise not only helps to increase strength and health, but also helps to reduce the effect of cellulite in the most important area-our legs!
Squats, lunges, and hip bridges have been shown to effectively define the muscles in the problem area and help smooth the appearance of sunken skin.
In addition to increasing the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease and immune system problems, smoking can also damage the skin. Smoking causes blood vessels to constrict, reduces oxygen supply to cells, and prematurely ages the skin. The reduction in collagen and the “thinner” skin make the cellulite underneath more prominent.
According to the Renewal Institute, the body contouring program helps to tighten, shape and help reduce unwanted rolling, bumps and wrinkles on the body. It is also called non-surgical fat loss or body shaping. The body shaping procedure targets stubborn fat deposits and tightens loose or sagging skin areas.
Different surgeries target different parts of the body, from cellulite in the legs to fat deposits in the arm flaps and abdomen.
