  • This Is Why Women Get Cellulite More Than Men

    As a woman, you probably have a long history with cellulite. It’s something you pretend doesn’t exist, but yet are constantly aware of: that orange peel effect every time you take a seat while wearing those short, short shorts.

    But why does this awful phenomenon mainly occur in women’s bodies? Why is it that men are seemingly immune? Well, first off, let’s look at what exactly cellulite is:

    Cellulite occurs when fat accumulates under our skin, pushing against the strands of our connective tissue fibres – also known as subcutaneous fat. So yes, cellulite is made up of fat, but it’s the connective tissue (septae) between our skin and our muscles that create that lumpy and dimple ‘orange peel’ effect.

    There are three kinds of cellulite:

    •    Hard cellulite is seen in younger women who exercise regularly.
    •    Soft cellulite is seen in inactive women and those who’ve recently lost weight.
    •    Oedematous cellulite occurs when women are overweight.

    The worst part about this whole thing is that as you get older you are more likely to get more cellulite.

    So, why is cellulite more prominent in women?

    If you had taken an educated guess, the answer is pretty obvious. Hormones, bitches.

    Estrogen gets secreted by our ovaries, which stimulates the storage of internal fat, or fat that lies between the tissue and the muscle.

    How sexy does cellulite sound now?

    Cellulite is less commonly found in men, as they have a low level of estrogen circulating in their bodies, thus making a thinner layer of internal fat stored in their body. And thanks to their testosterone levels, men produce protein-rich connective tissue within their skin, leading to a thicker skin layer and reducing their tendency of getting cellulite.

    While cellulite is perfectly harmless, there has been an endless mission to decrease its over all appearance on women’s bodies. And luckily, there are a few treatments out there that could lessen the amount of cellulite on your body. Body Renewal takes pride in their various at-home therapies, as well as some in-office treatments that do wonders.

    By carefully combining the at-home internationally recognised techniques and cutting edge technologies; Body Renewal has developed a combination of non-invasive cellulite therapies that is bringing lipo-cellulite therapy to a whole new level.

    Otherwise, we could just stop this global obsession with the harmless fat.
