Cellulitis
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a very common skin condition, which is a cosmetic rather than a medical problem.
It appears by forming a wavy surface with "dimples" on the skin. These are small bumps of fat in the dermis of the skin, described as "orange peel" or "cottage cheese".
Body Areas of Appearance
The places where cellulite usually appears are around the thighs and buttocks, while it can also appear on the chest, abdomen and inner arms.
Factors & Causes of Cellulitis
The causes of cellulite focus on the structure of the connective tissue, which holds the fat between muscle and skin, as well as hormonal factors.
The risk factors for the appearance of cellulite start from heredity and the increase in body weight that makes it more visible and reach pregnancy. Also over time the skin becomes thinner and less elastic, making it easier for the fat to push up.
Treatments
Cosmetic medicine and surgery currently have many solutions available to combat cellulite. Your doctor will advise you which one is most suitable for you.
Mesotherapy is a modern injectable treatment proposal for the treatment of cellulite, which targets exactly the problem area, significantly improving the skin's appearance.
