Causes and Treatments for Cellulite

Most women will get cellulite at some point in their lives, and all of those women usually wonder "Why me?!" Cellulite is something that occurs naturally as you age. It is not harmful to your body by any means, but it can make some women uncomfortable because they feel it's unpleasant to look at.

What causes cellulite in women? Well as you age, your connective tissue naturally loses elasticity.  When connective tissues lose their elasticity, subcutaneous fats bulge against the skin. Cellulite formation can also be affected by age, hormonal changes, poor diet and lack of exercise.

There are many different ways to treat cellulite; it's just a matter of finding what works best for you and your skin.

A healthy diet is beneficial in so many ways, but it could help your cellulite too! Make sure to incorporate fresh fruits and veggies and drink plenty of water so your skin stays hydrated and supple.

Integrating exercise into your daily routine can also help reduce the appearance of your cellulite. Make sure you specifically use work out techniques that emphasis muscle and tissue strengthening so you can increase the elasticity in your connective tissues.

A gentle massage with the use of a cellulite cream has also been used to reduce cellulite. This is a gradual approach and repeat treatments are necessary. You can also use an exfoliating brush to encourage an increase in collagen production which is a chemical that helps you skin to remain firm.

Using a cellulite cream can also help the appearance of your skin. Not all cellulite creams are effective, but there are many options in this category so you can find one that works best for you. Although it may not necessarily treat the cause of the cellulite it could improve the appearance of your skin.

Women who have a severe case of cellulite may be looking into more extreme options like laser treatments. These treatments use light therapy to decrease cellulite and are very expensive. However, when combined with a good diet and exercise they do seem to be very effective as well.

Liposuction surgery is another extreme treatment option. Although it is not guaranteed to be 100% effective and is mostly undergone by people whose main goal is to eliminate some of their body fat. Reducing the cellulite is normally just an added bonus.

The newest development of cellulite reduction is CelluScience.
