When does a person get cellulite?

The causes of cellulite are not well understood, but there are several theories that have been put forth as explanations. Among these are: Hormonal factors - hormones likely play an important role in cellulite development. Many believe estrogen, insulin, noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin are part of the cellulite production process.

Genetics - certain genes are required for cellulite development. Genes may predispose an individual to particular characteristics associated with cellulite, such as gender, race, slow metabolism, distribution of fat just underneath the skin, and circulatory insufficiency.

Diet - people who eat too much fat, carbohydrates, or salt and too little fiber are likely to have greater amounts of cellulite.

Lifestyle factors - cellulite may be more prevalent in smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit or stand in one position for long periods of time.

Clothing - underwear with tight elastic across the buttocks (limiting blood flow) may contribute to the formation of cellulite. How can cellulite be removed? There are several therapies that have been suggested to remove cellulite, but none have been supported in the scientific or medical literature.

Thera.peutic methods that are physical or mechanical include pneumatic massages, massages that stimulate lymphatic flow, heat therapy, ultrasound, radio frequency the.rapy, magnetic the.rapy, radial waves the.rapy, Endermologie, and electrical stimulation. However, there is no solid evidence that these methods are effective.

A second class of cellulite removal strategies consists of dr.ugs that are supposed to act on fatty tissues. There is a wide variation of pharmacological agents used, such as methylxanthines (caffeine and theobromine), pentoxifylline, beta-agonists and adrenaline, alpha-antagonists, amino acids, ginkgo biloba, rutin, and Indian chestnut among others. People with cellulite have tried to apply these agents topically, orally, or by injection, but none have been proved effective.

Here’s another word that can’t be used…ther.apy…the filter sees it as ra.pe…We need a word filter that can spell!!!!

definately. Hormones play a huge role so anytime between on the onset of puberty and menopause is a time when many women will develop cellulite. I honestly think people worry about it far too much. Pretty much every girl gets it so we should stop worrying and accept ourselves for what we are!
