Cellulite, a skin condition, is characterized by a formation of dimpled or lumpy-looking skin, mainly on the thighs, abdomen, and hips.

The appearance of the skin is often compared with the texture of an orange peel.

While cellulite doesn’t really pose any health risk or concern, many people dislike it and wish to completely eliminate it in order to improve the appearance of their skin. Some opt for in-home methods such as exercise, use of different cellulite-reducing creams, and weight loss, while others look for medical treatments such as liposuction.

If you have tried dieting, exercise and cellulite creams, yet they have failed to produce results, and if you are are not interested in having liposuction and want something less invasive but that still has been proven clincally effective, body contouring might be just what you need!

What Is Body Contouring

 

Also known as body sculpting, body contouring is an assortment of non-surgical beauty services that work towards toning the body, getting rid of loose skin, and targeting those stubborn fat deposits that are typically found in the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks.

How Body Contouring Boosts Cellulite Reduction

 

The main reason why cellulite resembles the peel of an orange and has a bumpy appearance is that the fat collections in the body tend to push against the connective tissues that are found under the skin. When this happens, the surface of the skin attains a lumpy texture and appearance.

Body contouring primarily works on targeting fat deposits in the body, which is why it’s a great option for cellulite reduction.

It makes use of laser technology that helps decrease the appearance of cellulite and also boosts collagen production in the body.

This cellulite-reducing technology also helps tighten loose skin by reducing the overall volume of the loose skin.

The results of body contouring depend on the level or amount of cellulite in your body, which means that an individual could also require four to six treatment sessions to completely reduce cellulite from the body.

Body contouring helps cellulite reduction in four major ways:

• It helps release some of the fibrous septae
• It stimulates collagen production
• It improves the texture and elasticity of the skin
• It helps reduce the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer

Popular Areas for Body Contouring

 

There are many problem areas on the body for body contouring treatments, such as:

• Abs
• Love handles
• Buttocks
• Hips
• Thighs (inner and outer)

Are You A Good Candidate for Cellulite Reduction Through Body Contouring?

If you are thinking of opting for body contouring for cellulite reduction, you should first find out if you are a good candidate for it. You are an ideal candidate if:

• Your skin has a puckered appearance near the fat deposits in specific areas.
• You have a moderate amount of cellulite on your thighs, buttocks and/or hips, and you have decent weight.
• Cellulite tends to be more noticeable on your skin because it is light in color.
• You have tried various other cellulite reduction methods but to no avail.

Final Word

If you are sick of cellulite on your thighs, hips, or other areas of the body and wish to remove it, you can opt for body contouring. Just remember, cellulite didn’t appear in a day, so it’s going to take more than one session to reduce and possibly eliminate it completely.
