Cellulite, also called „orange skin“, has a great many names, since it occurs very often. It is estimated that 80% of women have more or less observed this unpleasant occurrence on their bodies. Female skin, subcutaneous fat tissue and connective tissue are anatomically well-prepared for volume expansions, as necessary during pregnancy. That is why the connective tissue fibres of a woman lie perpendicular to the skin, unlike those of a man, which interweave and cross one another. This determines skin retractions of varying intensity due to the collagen fibres with simultaneous pressure from below caused by the subcutaneous fat tissue. Men suffer from this aesthetic problem noticeably rarer.

What can be done against it?

All measures, reducing the pressure of subcutaneous fat tissue and at the same time stimulating the cross-linking and tightening of connective tissue, are suitable. In simple cases it can be done with a suitable gel. The caffeine-containing cellulite gel from Beauté Pacifique, for example, has shown the best results in the independent tests of the Laser Research Institute of the University of Ulm (available in our bonderm shop). In addition, it is possible to carry out purifying and decongesting measures with simultaneous tightening of connective tissue through radiofrequency shrinking of connective tissue and mechanic massage of connective tissue, as well as stimulation of blood circulation with infrared light. We perform these measures with the help of VelaShape® from Syneron. It is necessary to carry out 2 applications a week combined with the change of diet and suitable skin care measures. The so-called acoustic wave therapy is a new promising treatment method. In different studies, we performed ourselves, we could achieve and prove the first promising success at various stages of cellulite. With extensive skin refraction, it is possible to achieve great improvements through removing the adhesions and transplantations of fat stem cells or bio-proteins.
