Many people develop cellulite with age, which greatly spoils the appearance and mood of the fairer sex. So what is cellulite, where does it come from and how is it treated
Cellulite: what are its causes
Cellulite is a localized increase in the growth of fat cells in the thighs, legs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms and a violation of metabolism in adipose tissue. The metabolic mechanisms responsible for the removal of waste products cease to function in the cells, and vice versa, the work on the accumulation of fat (nutrient Reserve) is intensified. As a result, they actively grow into connective tissues, coming out in the form of ugly tubercles. In this case, any area of the skin (on the abdomen, hips, shoulders, and even the neck) can become a place of accumulation of these cells.
According to statistics
this deficiency is more common and noticeable in women than in men. Female hormones have a role in this. That is why women are so zealous in the fight against this skin defect. I must say that the latest achievements in the field of Cosmetology make it possible to successfully eliminate this deficiency even in the largest manifestations.
but for this, it is necessary to identify the causes of cellulite:
- Disruption of the thyroid gland in the endocrine system.
- Improper production of hormones, as a result of which the level of estrogen in the blood rises ؛
- Unfavorable heredity
- Constipation is a persistent digestive system condition.
- Obesity is a result of malnutrition. Stress
- Bad habits (smoking, overeating, alcohol).
Wearing uncomfortable shoes and tight clothes also contributes to the appearance of an orange peel.
Identifying and eliminating the primary causes of cellulite will help to quickly and effectively remove all skin imperfections and bring your body back to normal.
The essence of Anti-cellulite massage
Anti-cellulite massage is a procedure performed to normalize metabolism in the subcutaneous fat layer.
This technique involves manual or hardware impact on the skin, including reflex movements in the cellulite zone. This contributes to an increased supply of oxygen to the deep layers of the dermis and accelerates lymphatic drainage. During the procedure, cellulite is divided into small parts, which are subsequently removed along with excess fluid, waste products, and waste products.
But to achieve a certain anti-cellulite effect, it is necessary to follow a diet, exercise, and give up bad habits.
The following massage movements can help in the fight against cellulite on the thighs, arms, abdomen, and buttocks:
- Pressure
- Friction
- Crush
- Vibration.
To achieve the best results, an anti-cellulite massage should be performed in the course. The duration of one session is about 60 Minutes. If you have a disease, then before the procedure you should read the contraindications or visit a doctor. Under no circumstances do you indulge yourself.
Why Anti-cellulite massage should be done on time
It is better to start with Anti-cellulite massage even at the initial stages of the development of cellulite when after 30-40 times the diameter of adipocytes does not increase, and they do not squeeze the surrounding connective tissue.
- When the connective tissue begins to produce dense collagen fibers, trying to isolate fat in adipocytes, blood circulation will be disturbed, and getting rid of cellulite will become more difficult.
- Already at the second stage of cellulite, fat deposits become dense, and the massage therapist, performing Anti-cellulite massage, will have to make much greater efforts to return a woman's skin to its former beauty.
- At the third stage of cellulite, connective tissue grows together with muscles on the one hand, and skin on the other, and then Anti-cellulite massage will only bring discomfort and minimal effect.
- In the fourth stage of cellulite, pain occurs even without a massage.
Proper anti-cellulite massage of the abdomen
thighs and buttocks perform several functions: it warms up tissues and increases blood flow. Improves microcirculation. It breaks down fat cells, removes fluid deposits, waste products, and toxins, and has a lymphatic drainage effect.
Scientists have proved that skeletal muscles, with proper physical activity, secrete a special hormone irisin, which turns white adipose tissue into Brown, which does not produce energy reserves but consumes them. Massage is one of the types of passive Gymnastics, in which aricin is actively synthesized, and the patient's energy consumption increases.
