The phenomenon of cellulite affects more and more people every year. Among the main causes are definitely genetics and being overweight, but especially sedentary lifestyle and stress.

Fighting cellulite is possible today through certain corrective actions. One of these is the use of radiofrequency (RF).

 

What is cellulite

The term cellulite refers to that skin condition in which a substantial layer of fatty tissue occurs close to the connective tissue. When suffering from this physiological alteration, the skin appears rippled, grainy in places.

The phenomenon may occur in both men and women. In the latter case, however, with a very high percentage, between 80% and 90%, while in men it stands at 10%.

The condition can be categorized by 4 stages, from 0 to 3, describing the progress of the process.

Among the main causes of the phenomenon are:

  • Genetics
  • Stress
  • Food
  • Sedentariness

How to fight cellulite

Daily habits play a major role in treating cellulite. It is very important to maintain a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, avoid bad habits such as smoking, and have an active lifestyle with several weekly exercise sessions.

Sometimes, however, all of this is not enough, and people wonder if there are methods to reduce or defeat the phenomenon.

 

Cellulite treatment with radiofrequency

Thanks to technological advances in aesthetic medicine, we now have at our disposal several routes to combat cellulite.

Among them is undoubtedly RF treatment. This is a treatment performed with a particular instrument that releases electromagnetic waves into the areas of the body where cellulite is to be treated.

Penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin, these electromagnetic waves hit the fat cells responsible for the presence of cellulite, revitalizing the connective tissue where the ripples visible to the eye are present.

This mechanism occurs as the skin is stimulated to produce more elastin and collagen.

All this leads tomore toned, elastic, energetic skin, reducing and limiting the presence of cellulite.
