Cellulite Treatments in Miami - Three Facts You Need to Know
is a common term used to describe overfilled fat pockets right under your skin.
These are fat cells that have become enlarged causing these cells to take up more space between the skin's connective tissues than normal.
The fat then expands these spaces resulting in the overlying skin dimpling, often called the orange peel effect.
It appears in ninety percent of post-adolescent women and is rarely seen in men. Common areas where cellulite is found, are the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.
Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not related to obesity, since it occurs in overweight, normal, and thin women. Cellulite causes many image problems and many women avoid wearing short skirts or shorts because of it.
Some of the contributing factors to developing cellulite are:
However, you can still do a lot to fight cellulite. Not drinking enough water. Water helps flush toxins and waste from your body. Drink seven to eight glasses of water a day.
Poor eating habits (alcohol, caffeine, spicy or fatty foods) contribute to the formation of cellulite because the toxins they produce get trapped in the fatty tissue.
Saturated fats block the arteries and get trapped in the tissue as well, preventing sufficient waste and toxin elimination.
Smoking is not only bad for the skin and lungs, but it weakens the skin by causing constriction of capillaries.
It also damages the connective tissue and can increase the dimpling effect of cellulite.
These can cause a muscle to seize up in pain; they can also cause the connective tissue that covers that muscle to seize up. Tension can also block the tissue, preventing proper waste elimination and purification.
Medication can disturb the body's natural processes, disturbing the purification system that is naturally in place.
Diet pills, sleeping pills and diuretics can all lead to cellulite; oral contraceptives, which increase the body's estrogen, cause fat cells to enlarge, leading to water retention.

Retaining water inhibits the body from flushing the system of toxins, leading to the formation of cellulite.
Lack of Exercise
Lack of exercise contributes to the formation of cellulite. Exercise decreases many health risks and also helps fight cellulite. It improves muscle tone, circulation, and overall well-being, helping to break blocked tissue and purify the body.
Your Cellulite Treatments Options
There are three main treatments for cellulite that we're considering; namely:- The Contour (more on that later) - Cosmetic surgery, and - Topical creams or lotions.
1. The Contour, Powered by 3DEEP RF (radio frequency) Technology

The Contour's proprietary pulsed vacuum protocol allows for easy, pain-free treatments that increase the blood supply and circulate to cellulite-prone areas, while the sub-atmospheric pressure created by the vacuum activates the lymphatic system to ensure more efficient removal of metabolic waste products and edema reduction.
The Contour's Customized Treatments
Contour treatments can be customized to target cellulite at any stage and in any area of the body with comfortable treatments that require no downtime.
2. Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic Surgery Treatments like liposuction (surgery to remove fat) and mesotherapy (injection of drugs into cellulite) are either expensive or may produce only temporary improvement.
Many doctors advise against liposuction to reduce cellulite because it is designed to remove deep fat instead of cellulite, which is close to the skin.
This is performed by a plastic surgeon and can be expensive compared to other methods.
Consult with your doctor if you want to explore this further.
3. Cellulite Creams or Lotions
Cellulite is actually little pockets of fat under your skin, and some formulated creams can help. Some of the ingredients used in these products include
