The biggest problem is, we still associate cellulite with fat – and that has been the mistake in treatments of the past. It’s actually caused by a hereditary trait that causes your connective tissue to form in a way that traps fat and causes it to push up against the skin, resulting in dimpled skin or a “cottage cheese” effect. This is why you will often find women who are thin but still struggle with cellulite. In short, fat is not the culprit. There are three structural problems that cause the appearance of cellulite.

1. Tough bands of connective tissue tighten around the fat cells beneath your skin.
2. Pockets of fat trapped by these rigid bands push up against skin, causing the dimpled appearance.
3. Thin, less elastic skin in the area worsens appearance of cellulite.

Although both men and women may experience issues with cellulite, there are typically more occurrences with women since they are more likely to have the types of fat and connective tissue conducive to cellulite formation. The key to truly improving areas plagued by cellulite is to release the connective tissue, smooth and melt the fat, and condition the skin. With Cellulaze™, we can accomplish all three of these goals in just one treatment.
