How To Get Rid Of Cellulite

Cellulite happens when the connective tissues of the skin are penetrated by fat deposits. This gives the skin a lumpy or dimpled appearance. Because of the texture of cellulite under the skin, it is often called orange-peel skin. Cellulite is found more often in women than in men because of the connective tissue and fat tissue arrangement under the skin. Cellulite can be caused by hormones, such as during menopause when the connective tissues receive less blood flow then they did previously. This results in a lack of oxygen to these areas, which causes the skin to produce less collagen. Some genetic factors must be present for cellulite to develop. This could be related to fat distribution, circulatory levels, metabolism, and ethnicity. Frequent smoking, sedentary lifestyle, high fat diet, and obesity are factors that can increase the risk of developing cellulite.

Carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic medical treatment that utilizes injections to insert carbon dioxide into the subcutaneous tissue under the skin. It is most often used to treat stretch marks, cellulite, and dark under eye circles. This procedure has shown to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, increase circulation, and increase the skin's elasticity. Additionally, this procedure also assists with fatty deposit destruction and repair of collagen. This type of therapy is often chosen over other more invasive methods like liposuction to decrease fat and cellulite. This type of therapy is most often utilized on the eyelids, stomach, legs, face, neck, arms, and buttocks. This therapy usually requires between seven and ten separate treatments approximately a week apart to see desired results for the reduction of cellulite. Each treatment typically takes between fifteen and thirty minutes and are all outpatient procedures. The carbon dioxide infusion works because the cells naturally excrete carbon dioxide as waste, and then red blood cells come to absorb the carbon dioxide and drop oxygen off. Ultimately, those red blood cells deliver the carbon dioxide back to the lungs where it is exhaled into the air. The concentration of carbon dioxide in specific areas of the skin results in an influx of red blood cells to the site, which increases circulation.
