Weight loss always leads to ‘some’ cellulite removal

Excess fat accumulation at the hypodermal level (fat in the deepest skin layer) is the most important aspect of cellulite.

Fibrosis, skin laxity and poor circulation being the other main aspects and free radical damage, inflammation and glycation also play an important role.

When weight is lost, with diet and exercise, different types of body fat are reduced at different speeds:

• Visceral fat (deep stomach fat)

• Subcutaneous fat (fat below the skin, anywhere in the body)

• Hypodermal fat (fat within the skin itself = cellulite)

So when you lose weight, you definitely lose SOME hypodermal/cellulite fat.

For some people, however, this hypodermal/cellulite fat loss is minimal compared to subcutaneous / visceral fat loss, after weight loss.

Stubborn hypodermal fat (cellulite) removal

Some people can develop cellulite without accumulating much subcutaneous / visceral fat. This is what people call “slim cellulite”.

In much the same way, some people can lose a lot of visceral / subcutaneous fat, without losing much cellulite fat.

This is because in most people cellulite is a type of more “stubborn” fat than the other two types: easy to accumulate, difficult to lose. Once in the lips, forever in the hips.

(Or, more accurately, once in the lips, forever in the hypodermal adipose tissue of the hips, which unfortunately doesn’t rhyme.)

Hence the need for treatments to target this more superficial, yet more stubborn, type of fat.

• The most effective treatments for cellulite reduction are deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation. If received DURING your weight loss phase, these treatments will help you maximise fat loss from the cellulite areas they are applied on, as opposed to breast, face or other body areas.

• Although not directly able to reduce cellulite by itself, by boosting energy production at the mitochondrial level, high-power red/infrared LED phototherapy can help maximise the results of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, when provided right after those treatments

• A high quality cellulite cream, i.e. one with multiple, high-purity anti-cellulite actives in high concentrations, can also help

• Healthy diet and exercise are essential in all cases, even if by themselves are not always enough

Cellulite and weight loss

So to answer the question about relationship of cellulite and weight loss: when you lose weight cellulite is reduced but usually not as fast as other body fat.

For this reason high quality treatments / topical creams are sometimes essential.

Unfortunately most treatments and creams are not high quality and therefore do not work, so do your research well beforehand.
