Here’s Why You Have Cellulite - and How To Get Rid of It

One of the most common requests we hear in our consultation rooms is about one pesky little skin condition-cellulite. Most women have it, most don’t want it, and most of them aren’t really sure what causes it, nevertheless how to get rid of it. Let’s break down some common cellulite myths, then we’ll talk about how you can break down that cellulite! 

Contrary to popular belief-it has nothing to do with weight or level of activity. Instead, it has to do with fibrous bands under the skin. Over time, they thicken and pull down, creating tension. Then there’s the fat cells underneath, which push into the skin while the bands pull it down. Add in the fact that women’s fat cells tend to be larger than men’s, and you’ve got cellulite. Laxity of your skin can also contribute, as the looser your skin is, the more room there is for fat cells to occupy space. So when it comes down to it, cellulite doesn’t have anything to do with being overweight, like many people seem to think. If you’ve got it, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, but it doesn’t make the self-consciousness around cellulite go away. But how can you diminish its appearance?

What helps reduce cellulite?

You can read any beauty blog that will tell you their secret to getting rid of cellulite - from creams, scrubs, lotions, and potions of all kinds. The truth is that while these may have various benefits on your skin quality, they probably won’t cure your cellulite. That’s because these creams and topical solutions can’t penetrate deeper into the skin, where  cellulite is formed. There’s a few different ways we treat cellulite here at BeautyFix MedSpa, so let’s look at the options and how they work with your body.

CelluliteFix: Venus

One of our favorite Fixes for stubborn cellulite is our CelluliteFix: Venus. This is a versatile and comfortable treatment that uses multi-polar radio frequency to produce heat below the skin’s surface. This heat stimulates your body’s natural healing response, which increases the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Venus treatments improve circulation and cause the skin to contract. Try it on your booty or thighs to bust stubborn cellulite or on your abs and arms to tone and tighten the skin. For best results, you should visit us for a free consultation to devise a treatment plan for you, and stick to it. One of the many perks of this treatment is that there is no downtime at all, and the treatment is very relaxing.
