If you’ve been working out consistently but still notice areas of stubborn cellulite, you’re not alone. Cellulite affects a large percentage of the population, especially women, regardless of their fitness level. While a healthy diet and regular exercise are crucial for overall health and toning your body, these alone may not be enough to tackle cellulite. Understanding how cellulite forms and what you can do to treat it can help you achieve smoother, more even skin while enhancing your workout results. Read on to see what plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Miller has to say on this subject.
Understanding Cellulite: What Causes It?
Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled or lumpy appearance, often on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Factors like genetics, hormones, age, and lifestyle all play a role in the development of cellulite. It’s important to note that cellulite is not necessarily linked to being overweight; even those who maintain a healthy weight can have cellulite.
While exercise can reduce the overall fat in the body, it does not specifically target cellulite. The connective tissue that causes the dimpling effect can be stubborn, and traditional workouts might not fully address this concern.
What Is Cellulaze and How Does It Work?
Cellulaze is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment specifically designed to address the root causes of cellulite. Unlike topical creams or non-invasive procedures that offer temporary solutions, Cellulaze works from within to deliver long-lasting results. The treatment targets the underlying structural issues beneath the skin that cause cellulite, such as thickened connective tissue and pockets of fat.
During a Cellulaze procedure, a small laser fiber is inserted under the skin. This laser works on three levels: it melts the fat that creates the lumpy appearance, releases the fibrous bands pulling down on the skin, and stimulates collagen production to improve skin thickness and elasticity. The result is a significant reduction in the appearance of cellulite, with smoother, tighter skin that continues to improve over time.
Lifestyle Adjustments to Support Your Treatment
While treatments can significantly reduce cellulite, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is equally important for long-term results. Dr. Miller advises patients to continue their regular workouts, focusing on strength training to build muscle and reduce fat. Additionally, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and avoiding high-sugar and high-fat foods can help keep cellulite at bay.
