The different signs of cellulite may vary and differ which depends on the four phases. At the first phase, there is bulging of the skin because of the excess fat found in the subcutaneous fat cells while in phase two, there is accumulation of fatty deposits that creates clogging which includes the adjacent parts of the vascular system. There is also leaking of fluid and sugars from the vessels that forms complex sugar chains. In addition, this will draw more fluids from the vessels.
On the other hand, fat cells organize in the fibrous nets forming fatty lobules and these lobules further move into the dermis which later create visible dimpling of the skin related to cellulite. During phase four, the fibrous tissues between the fatty lobules increase and multiply and contracts to form more fatty lobules groups. The following are some guides to follow when it comes to discovering the phases of cellulite treatment.
Dieting to Reduce Cellulite
A change in diet can help reduce the appearance of cellulite in due time. You have to minimize your iodine intake and refrain from eating foods rich in oil and cholesterol because they have a great impact on cellulite. Another one is that the oil and grease from burgers and pizzas can also contribute in the formation of cellulite and at the same time can cause damage to the overall health of the skin as it inhibits the natural regeneration qualities of the skin which can lessen the unwanted presence of cellulite.
Surgical Removal of Cellulite
Another option for cellulite treatment is the surgical removal of tissue that is affected by too much cellulite. This procedure is like other types of cosmetic surgery wherein the unwanted tissue is removed away from the other tissues that are healthy. The procedure can be done in just a few hours but the recovery time takes longer. This depends on the extent of the surgery and on the patient’s health and age. Like any other forms of surgery, surgical removal of cellulite has risks of infection and complication from anesthetics.
Non-Invasive Removal of Cellulite
In a non-invasive cellulite removal, they make use of infrared laser light to be applied to concentrations of cellulite in order to remove dead skin cells. This method can also restore the living cells so as to form new healthy skin tissue. This procedure is very effective to patients who are below 30 years of age, because this is the time when the skin starts losing its regenerative qualities as this is the stage of aging process. The use of laser for cellulite removal is a quick and painless process but is the most expensive treatment for cellulite removal.
Cellulite removal also includes radio frequency therapy, heat therapy, ultrasound and massage in order to stimulate lymphatic flow. Although these techniques differ in their effects and success and they consume longer time than laser surgery, they are a lot cheaper than surgery.
The phases of cellulite treatment depend upon the phases of cellulite you are in. You may start altering your diet to stop the problem from proliferating. If it has already spread in a more severe stage, then both invasive and non-invasive procedures will be of help.
