Cellulite is caused by the connective tissues pulling down on the skin, whilst the natural fatty deposits push up, creating a surface that looks uneven. It is thought that hormones can play a large part in the development of cellulite, alongside genetics which influence the traits pertaining to body type, and the structure of the body and skin. One of the reasons why it is thought that cellulite affects more women than men is the way in which fat is distributed throughout the body, as well as the differing pattern of the connective tissues.

Although gaining weight is not a factor for the development of cellulite, it can often make the condition more prominent. Ageing can also contribute as the skin loses elasticity and the underlying structure loosens and becomes less supportive.

At Nassif MedSpa we have a range of treatments to help reduce the appearance of cellulite on areas of the body. This can work to significantly improve the way a person feels about their overall body profile, boosting confidence and elevating self-esteem.
