How To Battle Cellulite

Dimples You Don't Want

First, let me say that usually the type of dimples most women want are the ones on your face. Those dimples are usually a plus. But when dimples start appearing on your butt cheeks well, those aren't as welcoming. Those dimples are found on women 80 to 85 percent of the time. And yes, they are a sign of cellulite.

What Is The Cause And Cure Of Cellulite

Many beauty products out there claim to have the cure for cellulite. But before we talk about a cure, lets find out what cellulite is. By the way, cellulite does not discriminate. You may be a homebody or a dedicated gym enthusiast, you can still get cellulite. A lot of doctors think that slow or poor blood circulation, particularly under the skin, is one main cause.

Why does this occur?

• According to a study at the Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., slow blood circulation under the skin can cause fat cells to swell. While this is happening, there are elastic bands that hold down fat cells called collagen. The collagen then start to become over stretched and weak.

Why The Cottage Cheese Look Will Appear

As mentioned previously, collagen that has become weak and over stretched allows fat to slip between the bands. When this happens, you will tend to get a cottage cheese appearance around your butt and thigh area.

TRY THIS Little Experiment

To give you an idea how this works, let us conduct a science project. Don't worry, you will be graded after this experiment.

What You Will Need

• You will need a napkin or rubber gloves cut open to imitate your skin.
• Small pebbles, play dough or flour and water mixed into dough.

Performing The Test

1. Using your fingers as collagen bands, wrap the cut glove or napkin around your hand.
2. Next you will use the dough or pebbles as the fat cells.
3. Push the covered hand with your fingers spread apart into the dough or pebbles and you should get the dimples or cottage cheese look.

It is not a perfect test, but you should get the idea. By the way, your grade is an A plus Great Job!

So Is There A Permanent Cure

The fight against cellulite is ongoing, so far. There are treatments that can reduce the appearance of cellulite, but not permanently. Keep in mind that these treatments cost a lot of money and you will need to maintain it. That means going for more treatments and spending a lot more money.

If you happen to be inactive or overweight, most of the time you will not see a difference on your skin with these expensive treatments. Active women actually benefit more from these procedures.

What Should You Do Next

Although it seems like there is no hope against winning the cellulite battle, dermatologists are working very hard on effective products that are inexpensive and readily available. One thing that most dermatologist will tell you is try to avoid injections when possible.

These injections were designed to break up the fat under the skin but in turn raised the risk of developing ulcers. Some patients reported unusual bleeding.

Lasers are usually more effective but are the most expensive. Remember that over time, you will need to get the procedure done again. Last but not least are creams or lotions. When these products first came out, they made a lot of claims but never got rid of the cellulite.

Fortunately, as technology advances, creams and lotions have been proven to work and lasts just as long as the more expensive laser treatments for a fraction of the price. These creams tend to tighten and smooth the skin. They will also even out the skin so the affected area looks smoother.
