Cellulite Removal Treatments in Baltimore, Maryland

Cellulite is a cosmetic skin condition involving the accumulation of fatty deposits under the skin. It presents as areas of dimpled skin, most often appearing on the thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen. This condition affects nearly 8 out of 10 women over the age of 20, as well as some men. Women more commonly develop cellulite because of the way fat is distributed in the lower half of the female body. Cellulite appears to have a genetic component since individuals who have family members with cellulite are more prone to develop.

Causes of Cellulite

Cellulite, may develop for several reasons, including such factors as:

  • Loss of skin elasticity due to aging

  • Weight gain, as during pregnancy

  • Poor diet

  • Slow metabolism

  • Lack of physical activity

  • Hormonal changes

  • Dehydration

  • Excessive body fat

  • Type and tone an individual's skin

Risks and Benefits of Cellulite Treatments

Some cellulite treatments involve risks as well as visible benefits. Certain individuals with circulatory problems cannot use cellulite creams. The positive aesthetic effects of some treatments, such as massage and body wrapping, may be short-lived. While the results of certain procedures, such as laser treatments or liposuction, may be highly successful, they also may occasionally cause problems such as indentations or fluid accumulation in skin tissues, or the long-lasting appearance of bruises.
