Cellulite 101. Defeating The Nemesis of Beverly Hills Aesthetic Surgeons

September 5th, 2008

Whether you call it dimples, cottage cheese, orange peel skin, or something equally as strange, cellulite is a not-so-strange and often common symptom for millions of men and women.

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a condition due to congestion in the lymphatic channel which creates fibrous tissue that connects the skin to the underlying tissue. These fibrous strands tether the skin to the deep tissue, with fat lying in-between. As the fat cells accumulate, they push up against the skin, while the connective tissue pulls down. This causes cellulite and creates that familiar skin dimpling appearance dreaded by women and men everywhere.

Cellulite is caused by multiple factors: hormonal, dietary, and genetics. As if you didn’t have enough to blame on your genes already! So, it doesn’t matter how thin you are. If one or both of your parents have cellulite, it is likely you will be prone to it as well.

With hundreds of cellulite creams and cellulite removal procedures in the marketplace, it’s difficult to know what works and what does not. Besides dedicated diet and exercise, there are only a select few remedies that can actually remove cellulite.

Cellulite Prevention and Treatment

Aside from maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise, there are few treatments available that have been proven to reduce cellulite.

Beverly Hills Aesthetic Surgeon, Dr. Sam Assassa practices several cellulite treatments including, MesoCellulite, a proven treatment to rid his patients of cellulite. MesoCellulite combines microinjection with lymphatic massage to safely and effectively remove cellulite. With each cellulite treatment, the fiber strands that separate the body’s fat cells begin to melt down, resulting in a reduced appearance of dimpling.
