Cellulitis is, without a doubt, one of the problems that worries and grieves women in general and more and more adolescents. But what is it ,really?

Our fat cells (adipocytes) may increase up to sixty times their volume, punching the most fragile layers of the dermis, and at the same time small accumulations of fat get harder and get to hinder the return circulation.

Cellulitis is not just an aesthetic change of the body, but also an edematous fibrosclerosis disease of the subcutaneous fat, which affects not only the fat cells but the interstitial ones as well and the other small blood vessels, showing variations according to age. The skin pastiness augmentation and the diminution of elasticity reaches its highest pick between thirty and forty five years of age, along with the chronic venous insufficiency.

We may resume and conclude that cellulitis is fat and bad circulation.

It is an issue that demands evaluation and may be solved the method of non-invasive “liposuction” that is part of the Food Reeducation and Behavioural program and Body Modelling by Clínica do Tempo®, that enables an individualisation of the alimentary regime and weight and fat excess reduction, at any age, in a healthy and permanent way.
