Cellulite occurs when the fibrous cords that connect the skin to the underlying muscle loosen. As this coincides with accumulating fat cells that push up against the skin, the long, tough cords pull down creating the uneven surface or dimpling known as cellulite.
If you’re affected by cellulite, you’re not alone. Almost 90 percent of women experience noticeable cellulite although it can affect any gender. With many treatment options available, knowing which ones work best to minimize cellulite and improve the overall appearance of your skin is key.
Even though both men and women can experience cellulite, hormonal factors play a role, as do skin structure, skin texture, and body type. Women are more prone than men to experience it at some point. Other factors, such as weight and muscle tone can affect the amount of cellulite seen on the skin’s surface, although it can affect very fit people.
Since strict exercise and diet can make little to no difference in the appearance of these lumpy, fatty deposits, cellulite treatments are a popular option. Some treatments utilize cellulite treatment devices to help reduce cellulite and greatly improve the skin’s appearance.
What is a cellulite treatment device?
A cellulite treatment device targets the skin to disperse fats and toxins while encouraging blood flow. The device consists of steady pressure to help circulation and this circulation helps move the deposits of fat from the areas of concern.
Some cellulite treatment devices will incorporate advanced technology like radiofrequency and ultrasound, which aim to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. Radiofrequency devices deliver energy to the targeted area, promoting collagen production while tightening the skin. Ultrasound devices, on the other hand, generate heat beneath the skin’s surface, working to improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Cellulite treatment devices show promise in addressing the appearance of cellulite through these non-invasive mechanisms. It’s important to note that while cellulite treatment devices do offer benefits, some may require more than one treatment.
Non-invasive and all-natural body improvement
Some benefits other than visual enhancement include a more relaxed, less tense sensation in your muscles. As the devices increase circulation, the benefits often become more noticeable during the weeks after treatment.
