Causes and Symptoms of CelluliteYou reach an age when you can’t possibly ignore your skin aspect…whether you notice it in the mirror by yourself or you are warned by your best friend or even by your boy friend, you somehow get to realize that cellulite has got you too.

The term ‘cellulite’ is used for two different affections which have no connection one with another: there is the common cellulite or the aesthetic cellulite, characterized by subcutaneous fat deposit; and there is the medical cellulite or the infectious one. Cellulite is a skin disease and has no connection with being fat; that is why a lot of slim women have cellulite. In common terms, cellulite is immediately associated with the ‘orange peel’ aspect. In medical terms, cellulite represents fat deposit on the conjunctive tissue under the skin, which causes skin wrinkles. If you have cellulite you shouldn’t feel bad or ugly! Think about that 9 women from 10 have cellulite. Even some men have it. There are some factors that allow cellulite to appear: your genes, your gender, the fat quantity from your body; they are all associated with the cellulite quantity that you have and determine the cellulite aspect on your skin. Mainly, the elements that cause cellulite are pollution, nutrition disorder that causes water and fat retention, hormonal disorder, contraceptive pills, glandular insufficiency - the thyroid gland, the nervous system, stress, tiresome and water retention. On the other hand, there is the infectious cellulite which can be caused by different bacteria; one of the most common is the streptococcus. This bacterium spreads rapidly at the skin level because they produce enzymes that help spreading the infection all over other tissues. The staphylococcus infection can also be a cellulite cause, especially when it comes to wounds, stings and bites. The bacteria get into the skin trough epidermis lesions caused by scratches, stings, bites, burns, or skin diseases (dermatitis). Briefly, the ones that suffer from cellulite cannot bear a simple massage, the area is not well alimented with oxygen and toxins are being accumulated. These areas are colder than the rest of the body. Cellulite appears because of lack of activity, because of a fat-based nutrition, stress and smoking. At women cellulite appears on the bottom side, thighs, belly, legs and arms. From birth, the adipose cellules number is constant. If your body gains too much fat, their volume grows from the size of a needle head to the size of a bean. Under cellulite there is always a fat ‘pillow’. Cellulite appears in three different stages: in the first stage, cellulite represents inflation at the conjunctive tissue level; in the second phases, it can be distinguished by touching the certain area that hurts at any pressure. The third stage is characterized by cellulite nodules which appear due to fibrous tissue forming. Cellulite can appear at any age, from puberty to menopause. Its symptoms are varied; there can only be one or they can be combined. The most frequent are the following: feeling of pain at touching, the presence (when touching) of a micro or macro nodules, the presence of stretch marks, the felling of weight, wrinkles, the feeling of pins and needles, muscular pain, pain at lifting, tiresome, back neck ache, the feeling of coldness, nervousness, etc. You have probably understood that cellulite does not spare anyone.
