Cellulite appears due to the accumulation of adipose nodules, water and toxins in the subcutaneous cellular tissue, appearing especially in the abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks. This pathology affects mostly women, although 90% of the population has suffered its effects at some time, regardless of body mass or weight. Although it has no negative effect on health, it can affect a person’s self-esteem, which is why anti-cellulite treatments have improved in recent years when it comes to preventing, treating and eliminating it.
Why does cellulite appear?
Cellulite can appear at any time, however, it is usually during puberty, pregnancy and menopause where it appears more strongly, due to hormonal changes. There are also factors that can increase the appearance of cellulite, such as an unbalanced diet, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol and/or tobacco consumption, the use of tight clothing or hereditary factors.
What treatments are available to eliminate cellulite?
- Alidya: this anti-cellulite treatment is safe and effective and consists of eliminating toxins and oxygenating the adipose tissue to activate lymphatic drainage. It is a non-invasive treatment whose effects can be seen from the second or third intervention. It is recommended to perform between 5 and 10 sessions lasting about 30 minutes for optimal results. Also, the treatment is painless since ultra-fine needles are used. If the patient has any discomfort, it usually subsides after a few hours. Sun exposure is not recommended during the following hours.
- Carboxytherapy: this treatment is in great demand by patients mainly due to its excellent results. Its success is due to the fact that the subcutaneous infiltrations of carbon dioxide that are performed improve blood circulation in the area, eliminating adipose cells. The number of interventions will depend on the previous diagnosis. The results are usually seen from the first session, and the quality of the skin improves significantly. Although there are no side effects, it is possible that after the session there is a slight reddening of the area that usually disappears after a few hours.
