Body Conditions
Cellulite
‘Orange peel skin’, ‘cottage cheese skin’ and ‘the mattress effect’ are common terms used to describe the condition cellulite. The dimpled look of the skin’s surface is usually what determines an area affected by cellulite, which can include: thighs, hips, buttocks and stomach. Women tend to be affected by cellulite more than men and, despite common beliefs, can develop on bodies of all sizes.
Everybody has a certain amount of subcutaneous fat – natural fatty deposits that lie just beneath the surface layers of the skin. Cellulite forms when this layer pushes upwards against the skin, at the same time as the tissues that connect the skin to the muscle, pull down. Subcutaneous fat is normal for people to have, which is why cellulite can also affect those who have a slimmer frame. However when cellulite is present, it can become more prominent when extra weight is gained.
Cellulite is a harmless condition. It is the noticeable puckered or dimpled effect of the skin that causes aesthetic dissatisfaction for those who are affected by its appearance. Some people can feel that this concern affects the contouring of the body as well as displaying an uneven texture of the skin.
There are many products available on the market which claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Often available as a cream or lotion, these products will usually require long-term use that does not always deliver on its promise. A treatment at one of Doctor Nyla’s clinics can help to smooth the surface of the skin, whilst also helping to reduce any excess fatty deposits and tightening the skin.
