Cellulite is a common concern among women of all ages. This condition is characterized by a buildup of fat under the skin, which gives a bumpy and uneven appearance to the skin’s surface. While cellulite is not dangerous to your health, it can be embarrassing and affect your self-confidence. In this blog, we will look at the causes of cellulite, as well as options for freeing yourself from this condition.
Cellulite, also called dimpling or orange peel skin, is a condition that affects the appearance of the skin. It manifests itself by the appearance of bumps on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen. More precisely, cellulite is a “change in the structure of the fatty tissues located under our epidermis.” The fat cells in the skin grow and push through the tissues, which is what gives the bumpy appearance of cellulite. Contrary to popular belief, most women have cellulite. Studies have shown that 1 in 10 women develop cellulite at some point in their lives, while only 1 in 50 men are affected. This could be explained by the morphological differences between men and women, including skin thickness, hormones and the proportion of fat cells.
Cellulite can be caused by a combination of factors. These include diet and lack of exercise, but also hormonal changes and genetics. A diet high in saturated fats, sugar, and salt can indeed contribute to the appearance of cellulite, as can a lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle. However, there are factors that are beyond your control that can be responsible for your cellulite. In other words, you can have a healthy lifestyle and still have cellulite. In fact, female hormones can also contribute to the formation of cellulite. These can affect blood circulation and weaken connective tissues.
Finally, certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and circulation problems, can also increase the risk of developing cellulite. While cellulite is not a serious medical condition, it can be a source of frustration and insecurity for many women. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Cellulite is a common problem among women. Naturally, we recommend that you adopt good lifestyle habits, if you haven’t already. However, if you have already explored this avenue and remain without results, here are two effective methods to combat cellulite.
Anti-cellulite creams can be an effective option for reducing the appearance of cellulite. These creams often contain active ingredients such as caffeine and theophylline that can help stimulate blood flow. Anti-cellulite creams may also contain moisturizing ingredients that can help smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. For best results, it is important to apply the cream regularly, gently massaging the affected area to help stimulate blood flow.
At ESME Esthétique, our favorite anti-cellulite cream is Aquafolia’s anti-cellulite cream ($182). Its formulation with caffeine, bitter ginger, coenzyme A, and euglena gracilis extract is unique to the Aquafolia brand. This cream is known for sculpting, hydrating, and firming your skin. It works deep down to stimulate your circulation, reduce water retention, and smooth the appearance of your skin. The effects are remarkable for reducing the appearance of cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, and legs.

Are you looking for a faster and more effective solution to reduce the appearance of cellulite? Professional treatments may be an option to consider. The treatment we offer at ESME Esthétique is cellular stretching®. To do this, we use the DX Smart device from Starvac. This is a revolutionary new device that uses technology that increases blood flow in targeted areas. This method, based on the principle of mechanotransduction, consists of exerting gentle but deep mechanical actions on the cells and their connective environment through the different layers of the skin. Cellular stretching® can also smooth wrinkles and fine lines, firm and improve the quality of the skin.
To optimize the results of this treatment, it is recommended to perform more than one session of cellular stretching®. By discussing with one of our beauty care professionals, you will be able to set up an anti-cellulite treatment plan adapted to the area you wish to treat.
