How does Cellulite develop?
Directly Fat cells develop in the subcutaneous level and are arranged in chambers surrounded by connective tissue called septae. As water is retained, the fat becomes trapped within this area, expands and stretches, and eventually contracts and hardens (sclerosis) inhibiting flexibility of the skin. As the surrounding tissue continues to expand or weight and water gain continue, these areas of the skin continue to remain stagnant, while other sections bulge outward revealing cellulite. This creates impairment of the lymphatic vessels and leads into an inflammatory swelling (edema). Indirectly The body hosts receptors that either break down fat (Beta-receptors) or promote the growth of fat (Alpha-receptors). Above the waistline, the number of alpha to beta-receptors is generally equates to a 1:1 ratio in both males and females. However below the waist, women have approximately 6 to 8 alpha-receptors for every beta (high cellulite region). This is the reason why women have difficulty los
