Summer Body: Understanding and treating the Three Forms of Cellulite!

Introduction

Cellulite has nothing to do with being thin or plump. As an aesthetic professional, it's important to explain to your clients that they need to accept and love themselves as they are! However, cellulite can bother some people. That's why this article looks at the different forms of cellulite and how to treat them. Whether for aesthetic or comfort reasons, we provide you with the information you need to help your customers feel better about themselves.

Aqueous Cellulite

Aqueous cellulite is caused by poor blood and lymph circulation, leading to water retention. It often appears on the legs, stomach and arms, particularly in slim women.

Recommended exercises :

• Water sports (swimming, aquagym)
• Cycling and brisk walking

Food advice:

• Draining foods (cucumbers, broccoli)
• Avoid salt and alcohol

Treatments :

• Lymphatic drainage
• Specific massages

Adipose Cellulite

Adipose cellulite is linked to an accumulation of fat due to weight gain. It is often localized on the hips, buttocks and thighs.

Recommended exercises :

• Endurance (walking, cycling, fitness)

Food advice:

• Focus on vegetables, fruit, fish and white meat
• Avoid fried foods and sugary drinks

Treatments :

• Food supplements for appetite control
• Anti-cellulite creams and treatments

Fibrous Cellulite

Fibrous cellulite is the most difficult to eliminate. It results from a hardening of the collagen around fat cells and manifests itself as painful dimpling.

Recommended exercises :

• Combining cardio and weight training

Food advice:

• A healthy, balanced diet
• Drink at least 1.5L of water a day

Treatments :

• Advanced techniques (cryolipolysis, radiofrequency)
• Specific massages to break down fatty deposits

Conclusion

Each type of cellulite requires a specific approach. As a beauty and wellness professional, it's crucial to correctly identify your customers' cellulite type in order to recommend the best solutions. With the right combination of exercise, a healthy diet and specialized treatments, it's possible to reduce the appearance of cellulite and prepare for summer with confidence.
