Causes of Cellulite

November 27, 2009

cellulitebuttCellulite is caused by accumulation of fat. The accumulation normally takes place at the hips, thighs, belly, etc. Normally women are more prone to Cellulite than men. There are some myths surrounding this disease ‘Cellulite’. These myths are now exposed. Here are the details.

Certain fat causes Cellulite:

Hitherto, it was believed that a particular type of fat present in the human body causes Cellulite. Recently, pathologists collected the fat by using ‘needle biopsy procedure’.

They inserted a needle to the affected part of the patient and collected the fat in the syringe. The fat so collected was analyzed. It was found that the fat collected in the needle is nothing different from the fat in the body of the patient. So they concluded that cellulite is not the result of ‘certain special type of fat’.

Old people are prone to Cellulite:

This is yet another myth. Some experts say that the skin of old people is thin and as such they are prone to Cellulite. But there are many instances where even youngsters are affected by Cellulite. The reality is that if the youngsters affected by Cellulite do not take proper care, it may get worse when they grow old.

Contains harmful toxins:

Some say that the area affected by Cellulite has harmful toxins. It is not true. Experts say that this argument is adduced by some cosmetic industries with an intention to introduce the patient to the detoxification process. Experts say that by taking healthy food and balanced diet, the body throws out all the toxins.

It is Genetic in nature:

This is yet another myth. If it was hereditary, then if someone in the family has Cellulite some other person in the family should also get it. But it is not so. Experts say that there is no scientific reasoning to this. They say that if more than one person in the same family is affected by Cellulite, it is only a chance or incidental and it is not due to hereditary factors.

Obesity causes Cellulite:

This is totally untrue. There is no scientific reasoning even for this. There are many obese women who have maintained very good healthy skin that many would envy them.

These women go to the gym regularly and without any problem. Some gyms claim that by undergoing regular exercise, the cellulite would reduce. But in reality there are no exercises to reduce cellulite.
