What causes cellulite deposits?
In spite of all the advertisements, claims of quick cure, etc., most
scientists really do not know what causes cellulite. They have studied fat metabolism and
deposition which have had many and varied findings. Most areas of fat deposits are the
result of two factors:
The number of fat cells - adipocytes
The amount of fat inside the adipocytes
Current evidence suggests that the original number of fat cells in any
area of the body is controlled by one's original genetic make up. There are no factors or
substances that increase the number of cells in a body region but rather they do not multiply
unless the other fat cells get filled to capacity.
Occasionally there are reports that cellulite fat has more proteoglycans
that lead to more water retention or that there are more or less receptors for various
physiologic hormones or proteins, but it does not appear that these are the causative
factors. Cellulite fat will respond to calorie restriction just as any other fat cell, but
it is the stored fat that goes away; the cell is still present and can refill if calorie
excess resumes.
Are women more likely to have problems with cellulite
or are they just more concerned about it?
Yes, women are more predisposed to cellulite than men. The Rosenbaum
study found that women have a much more irregular, discontinuous supporting skin matrix
than men, so there is more opportunity for fat cells to extrude into the dermis area. To
some extent this must be hormonally controlled through estrogens because most men are
not as prone as women to cellulite, but men who are given estrogens as treatment for
medical problems are known to develop new areas of cellulite.
Fat distribution is different also in women and men. Women have more
fat deposits under the skin but tend not to accumulate it inside the abdominal cavity;
men seem to have less room for fat over their muscles and under the skin but they will
accumulate much more excess fat inside the abdominal cavity.
Are there any medical treatments known to actually get rid of cellulite?
Medical literature does not support evidence of topical creams or ingested medicines
or substances that get rid of cellulite unless those treatments result in significant
loss of total body fat. This is why at Dr. Healy's Clinics we strongly recommend the
combination of diet, exercise and Synergie™. A new treatment called Mesotherapy can be
very helpful.
Synergie™ is a powerful solution that can provide temporary
reduction in the appearance of cellulite and circumferential body measurements of
cellulite-treated areas. An in depth study of Synergie™ indicated a client would see
significant results from receiving Synergie™ treatments only.
While the treatments alone will help the client temporarily reduce
the appearance of cellulite and circumferential body measurements of cellulite-treated
areas. However, optimal results occur when our clients combine Synergie™ treatments
with proper nutrition and regular exercise.
This program is GUARANTEED to work for anyone
who is motivated and dedicated.
