Controlling Cellulite is Simpler Than It Seems

Cellulite is a term used to describe irregular appearance of the fatty tissue. Technically, it is called Fibroclastic Paniculopathy or Gynoid Lipodystrophy. This progressively installed change can be divided into four phases:

Stage 1: is only visible when we hold the affected area.

Stage 2: Increased fatty cells compress vessels they irrigate them. Drainage of the area is compromised, causing the liquid and toxins that should be eliminated to begin to accumulate. The appearance in orange peel can already be noticed with the patient standing.

Stage 3: begins the formation of fibrous beams around the fat. Many ripples can already be perceived. The circulation is further reduced.

Exercises that prioritize muscle tone, such as pilates and yoga, are better at easing the appearance of cellulite.

Stage 4: Fibrosis is pronounced and local circulation is severely compromised. The corrugations may be hardened and the region may feel palpable.

Some measures such as aerobic exercises and lymphatic drainage help the drainage of fat tissue, preventing the progression of cellulite. In addition, the use of tight pants and certain medications, such as birth control pills, facilitate fluid retention and may aggravate the condition. Pregnancy and overweight also worsen cellulite, making skin flaccidity more evident.

Aerobic exercise stimulates drainage and helps control weight, fighting muscle flaccidity. Currently, it is recognized that exercises that prioritize muscle tone, such as pilates and yoga, are better at easing the appearance of cellulite.

The ideal treatment should focus on each factor that participates in the evolution of cellulite. The creams, for example, have a supporting action, improving hydration and flaccidity. In addition, if used during massage, they stimulate drainage.

Ultrasound, used in equipment such as Manthus and Heccus, has the ability to cause the fat cell to implode. Some devices such as Ultra Shape and Ultra Cavity use high intensity ultrasound, resulting in even more cell destruction.

Endermology is also a must for treatment. The combination of suction and massage improves irrigation and local drainage. Similarly, the laser can reduce the fat layer and appears associated with endermology in devices such as Smooth Shapes. Radiofrequency and infrared rays stimulate the formation of collagen and can also be combined with endermology, as in Vela Shape. The more complex the technology, the more the treatment weighs in the pocket.

Younger women with no flaccidity and cellulite in the 2 to 3 stages may not see great advantage in the latest generation devices, but will spend five times more if they opt for a which combines the same with the radiofrequency or the laser.

The more advanced stages deserve a greater investment. If there is severe fibrosis, subcision techniques complement the treatment and areas with atrophy may improve with filling techniques. One can associate medications that improve circulation and supplements that participate in the formation of collagen. Mesotherapy may also be indicated.

Patient commitment is imperative. After a shock treatment, periodic maintenance will be required, as cellulite tends to continue to evolve.

Botox: botulinum toxin softens wrinkles and lines of expression

The health surveillance agencies determine the possibilities of using this substance for different situations in each country. Approved by Anvisa (National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance) in 1992, botox became the first botulinum toxin registered in Brazil and since then has received a progressive number of aesthetic and therapeutic indications, such as in the use of treatment for hyperhidrosis.

How to treat, without surgery, the sagging that appears after slimming

Nothing more common than seeing skin after treatment to lose weight. This flaccidity is due to the decrease in skin tone, and its intensity depends on several factors, such as: amount of weight lost, age, skin elasticity, nutrition, exposure to sunlight, smoking, genetic factors, gestation, etc. For example, a young man who loses a few pounds will hardly have this problem.
