Cellulite is a term used to describe fat deposits under the skin.  Cellulite appears as lumpy "orange-peel" "cottage-cheese-like" dimples under your skin.  These unsightly bumps most commonly appear on your legs, hips, stomach, buttocks or arms.  The exact cause of cellulite varies from person to person and includes:  poor blood circulation, changes in estrogen levels, genetic factors, and unhealthy diets.  Age is also a big factor.  As skin ages, the collagen and elastin within it stretches and progressively reveals more fluids and fat cells below it.  However, young people are not immune to developing cellulite.

Since cellulite is largely due to a structural conformation below the skin, it is often common in thin women as well as overweight women.  However, individuals who are over-fat will frequently have a more pronounced cellulite development, while those with less fat and more muscular definition tend to have less visible cellulite.

Unlike regular fat, cellulite is highly resistant to exercise and dieting.  This is because cellulite fat is trapped in a mesh-like fibrous connective tissue.  Liposuction is also not recommended as a treatment option for cellulite.

But many doctors, dermatologists, and medspa clinics in the Santa Monica, California, area are now offering new advanced treatments for the removal of cellulite and the treatment of dimpled, cottage-cheese skin.

One common cellulite treatment is Endermologie.  In Santa Monica, Bella Vida Endermologie features the procedure.  Endermologie is a non-invasive total body treatment similar to a deep tissue massage.  Endermologie treatments reduce cellulite and help contour the body by releasing toxins stored in the fat cells of the hypodermis (the layer of skin that diet and exercise do not effectively reach).  By stimulating your lymphatic system and increasing circulation, Endermologie activates your body's natural cleansing system, helping it to flush the toxins that invade fat cells.  Not only will you experience a reduction in cellulite and inches -- you'll also feel terrific.

Younique Medical Spa in Santa Monica offers Mesotherapy treatments to remove cellulite.  Mesotherapy is the practice of painlessly injecting vitamins, minerals, medications and amino acids just under the surface of the skin.  Mesotherapy can improve cellulite and stubborn fat pads like the "love handles", "baby belly", "saddlebags", and thighs.

Dr. Mary Lee Amerian in the Santa Monica area offers treatments for cellulite.  Dr. Amerian offers the Velasmooth cellulite procedure.  The VelaSmooth is a laser-like device that combines radio frequency and infrared light energies with tissue mobilization.  These three treatment modalities work together to safely and effectively improve cellulite and recontour the skin surface.
