Everyone who looks at models with perfect skin understands every human body is different. Most of us have dimples and bumps on our skin and are searching for the best way to achieve thorough cellulite removal.
What is Cellulite?
When we talk about cellulite, we refer to the bumps of fat that make our skin look like an orange peel. These bumps are medically harmless but can have a great psychological impact on people, particularly women, who look at their dimpled skin daily.
The causes of cellulite are not entirely understood, but there are multiple explanations of its existence. These are:
- Certain genes associated with gender, race, and metabolism that direct the way the body distributes fat beneath the skin.
- Hormonal factors.
- Lifestyle factors such as what we eat and whether we smoke or use alcohol.
As these factors come into play, they cause the fat within the body to bend and the skin above it to pucker. They can also cause fat cells to crush connective tissues deep within the skin, pulling them down and creating the dimpling characteristic of cellulite. In both cases, the stubborn fat that is affected does not respond well to diet and exercise. This is why the most effective way to treat this condition is through the help of a cosmetic cellulite removal treatment.
Thermage for Cellulite Removal
Thermage makes use of a unique form of capacitive radio frequency (CRF) energy to break down and shrink the fat cells responsible for visible cellulite. According to its manufacturer, Thermage can smooth out cellulite dimples, improve wrinkles, and promote the growth of new collagen — the protein responsible for the skin’s strength and elasticity.
