What is cellulite?

Lets start by the beginning. What is cellulite? Cellulite, as we have already mentioned, is an alteration that affects 90% of women, and there are different processes in our body that can trigger it. It is also known by the name of "orange peel", since visually it has a similar appearance to that of clementine.

Different processes intervene in its formation that affect adipose tissue, blood circulation, connective tissue, fluid retention... As is obvious,

There are certain bad habits that facilitate the appearance of cellulite. An unhealthy diet, sedentary life and being overweight and obesity are undoubtedly several parameters that are often closely linked to orange peel skin.

Phases of appearance

The appearance of cellulite is usually progressive, since the tissue is forming little by little. During the first phase, the drainage of the intercellular fluid slows down, and the connective tissue experiences an increase in fluid. This early phase is characterized by an inflamed and congested appearance, since a some pressure on the blood vessels in the area, which eventually dilate and make it difficult to circulation.

If no action is taken during this first phase, the problem can become chronic. At this time, a second phase is already underway. In this second phase, toxins accumulate in the buttocks and legs area., causing a series of chemical reactions that thicken the connective tissue.

If that happens, we go to a third phase, in which the fibers become irritated and transform the connective tissue into fibrous, thick and this causes several veins, capillaries and arteries to compress. This generates a kind of barrier that makes the tissues in the area harder, giving the typical appearance of cellulite skin, or orange peel.
