Anti-cellulite
Cellulite in the gluteal-femoral region can result from genetic predisposition, hormonal disturbance, inappropriate diet, or a sedentary lifestyle. Small lobules of subcutaneous adipose tissue press into the dermis, developing an unsightly orange-peel appearance.
Excess fat, along with structural alterations of the extracellular matrix, restricts the skin's venous system, thus its circulation, nutrition, and oxygenation. Fat and fluids build up, launching a vicious cycle of reduced lymphatic drainage, slowed metabolism, and increased fat retention.
In women, localized fat and fluids cause the skin to expand, producing cellulite. In men, the affected area swells more evenly. Over time, several skin layers may become affected and unhealthy, with inflammation and even pain.
Preparations with anti-cellulite active ingredients allow for visible improvement because they dissolve fat, improve microcirculation, and eliminate fluids.Some anti-cellulite ingredients stimulate lipase enzyme production, speeding up fat digestion and reducing pressure on blood and lymphatic vasculature. Natural drainage-stimulating actives enhance the circulatory functions of blood vessels and lymphatic systems, helping eliminate fat, fluids, and trapped toxins. Other anti-cellulite ingredients also rebuild skin tissue, tighten tone, and increase elasticity.
