By Marie Lopiano, LE

Cellulite is probably one of the most aesthetically troubling concerns of women it is estimated 80% of women over the age of 20, regardless of their weight or size are affected by cellulite. Achieving a smooth appearance in problem cellulite areas has always been a challenge.

What causes Cellulite?

The skins connective tissue surrounds fat cells, which are arranged in chambers. The margins of these chambers contain septae. Over time, the fat cells increase in size and number. This phenomenon together with the accumulation of localized edema, pushes the skins surface between the septae in an upward direction. This is what creates the lumpy and dimpled skin appearance, also known as the cottage cheese appearance, associated with cellulite.

What is VelaShape?
