Cellulite is one of the commonest formations in the body resulting from an excessive deposition of fat. Its commonness can be judged from the fact that there are a huge number of cellulite creams that are sold over the counter every year. It can be seen in most men and women who are overweight or have an unhealthy deposition of fat concentrated in certain areas in their bodies. While these unsightly lumps can be seen practically in every region of the body barring the face, neck, shoulders and the palms and feet, there are specific areas where they most commonly occur. These usually form in areas where there is a high deposit of fat as well as muscles. These are caused due to the pockets of fat that raise up from beneath the surface if the skin is unable to stretch as much as is required; so, the connective tissue or the septae pull down the skin firmly, not allowing it to stretch enough to smoothly accommodate the fat pockets. Cellulite is visible more in women than in men, and this is because in women, the connective tissues are not as strong as they are in the other sex. Besides, women are, owing to their structure, more likely to develop these undulating bumps and indentations on their skin, since they are more susceptible to gain fat in those particular zones of their bodies. Moreover, as per dermatologists, these fatty tissues are actually nothing more than markers of sex; that is, just like the breasts, they are a secondary sexual characteristic. In fact, the release of oestrogen causes these adipose tissue to grow more, just like in the case of development of breasts, which is why they happen more in women, and begin to show from adolescence.


There are various kinds of treatments for cellulite accumulation. However, not all of them will be equally effective for everyone. There are several kinds of anti-cellulite creams that one can safely use. Such creams are available anywhere, even over the counter. In case you are unable to procure one such product at ease, you can always place an order online. The chosen product will be delivered right to your doorstep without you having to worry about discretion and privacy at all. There are also several other procedures, such as laser treatments. Laser treatment is a surgical procedure that is, of course, extremely effective. The procedure consists of snipping through the septae, allowing the skin to relax, and using heat to melt the fat pockets. Then, the skin is heated from the inside out to ensure that the collagen and elastin grows faster and better, so that the skin can stretch enough.


Laser treatment, by itself, is quite effective. However, it still is a surgery, and like any other cosmetic procedure, chances remain, however slim, of getting botched. One might end up with terribly deformed skin zones. Besides, there is considerable discomfort later on, owing to the fact that it is, after all, surgery. There might be swellings and irreparable scars in case the wounds dont heal well enough. Instead, it is far better to take care of the lifestyle; definitely the most effective solution to cosmetic problems. Cutting down on the intake of carbohydrates can always be of great help since this will drastically reduce chances of accumulation of fats. A lot of exercise is also commendable since it will not only burn fat but will also allow the skin to become more flexible.
