It is estimated that 80 to 90% of all women over the age of 20, regardless of weight or body shape, have cellulite.
Choosing Cellulite Treatments
Cellulite is caused by the presence of chambers of fat immediately below the skin that become swollen. As the fat content increases, the surrounding tissue becomes compressed and hardened, reducing blood circulation and trapping fluid within the columns of fat, thus worsening the clinical appearance.
These columns of fat are separated by vertical fibrous bands of reduced elasticity, which create depressions and dimples in the skin, resulting in the appearance of cellulite. The appearance of cellulite can be reduced to varying degrees with invasive procedures, such as liposuction and external ultrasound (performed by Dr. Calobrace or Dr. Quintero).
