It’s easy to get lost in what’s true and what’s not because there is too much information on the internet about cellulite, ranging from miracle solutions to unrealistic claims. However, cellulite is a topic that concerns or interests most women, as 8 out of 10 women will experience it at some point in their lives.
Here are some common beliefs about the causes and elimination of cellulite, along with explanations of whether they are true or false.
First, let’s remember that cellulite is an accumulation of fat under the skin, causing the so-called “orange peel” texture, and its origin is multifactorial (influenced by various factors).
- Only overweight people have cellulite: FALSE. A thin person who exercises can also have cellulite, as it can be influenced by factors such as fluid retention, hormonal imbalances, poor circulation, pregnancy, menopause, use of oral contraceptives, skin structure, or genetics.
- Only women get cellulite: FALSE. While cellulite primarily affects women, around 10% of men also experience it. It is less common in men because they have higher levels of testosterone and more muscle fibers, which make it harder for cellulite to develop. When men do have cellulite, it usually appears in the abdomen and lower back areas.
- Tight clothing causes cellulite: TRUE. When we wear very tight clothing, blood circulation is impaired. You can wear it, but not too often. If your shoes are also too tight, your feet and ankles will dilate and swell due to heat, increasing pressure, hindering circulation, and causing fluid retention. Remember that both factors are crucial in the development of cellulite.
- Cellulite never disappears: FALSE. Many articles on the internet (related to equipment treatments) state that cellulite never disappears and that topical treatments only improve it temporarily. Although there is no scientific evidence, Azala Natura has received testimonials from many clients who claim to have eliminated cellulite using their kits or some of their anti-cellulite products (depending on the type of cellulite).
- It is possible to permanently eliminate cellulite: FALSE. Cellulite is multifactorial, and it appears due to one or more factors. You may eliminate the orange peel texture and it may never return, or, for example, you may have had cellulite after a pregnancy, but if hormonal imbalances occur later or you start using oral contraceptives, cellulite may return. This is why, after having it, the best approach is to maintain the use of an anti-cellulite product, eat well, and exercise.
- Genetics play an important role in the appearance of cellulite: TRUE. We inherit genetic information from our direct family members (poor circulation, body fat distribution, collagen levels, hormonal imbalances, etc.), so if someone in your family has cellulite, you are likely to have it as well.
- Love and accept your body as it is: AT YOUR DISCRETION. It is trendy to accept ourselves as we are because no one is perfect, and our bodies have imperfections too. This topic is left to personal discretion as everyone may have a different opinion. However, personally, I believe we can enjoy life by eating chocolate, pizza, or drinking a nice cocktail every once in a while, but we can also take action to reduce cellulite by using a good anti-cellulite treatment and changing some of our habits.
