Cellulite is a lipo-hydro-dystrophy, an inflammation of the adipose tissue by an excess of triglycerin which causes a compression of the tissues of the blood and lymphatic channels. This compression causes a swelling of the skin that takes a padded appearance (orange peel).
Let’s try to make it simpler:
Cellulite is a conjunction of several factors that follow one another:
-An imbalance between the storage of fat and their destocking which leads to an accumulation in the adipocytes.
-A compression of the blood and lymphatic microcirculation by these fat cells, as well as by collagen fibers (comparable to the meshes of a net).
– A blockage of the elimination of the water, toxins and fats.
Good to know, 90% of women are affected by cellulite, whether they are thin or overweight, (almost) all women have cellulite …. ouf !!!!!
