Fat deposits

Nutrition

Consuming more calories than your body burns leads to the accumulation of excess energy in the form of fat. Foods high in saturated and trans fats, such as fried foods, fast foods, and sweets, can promote fat accumulation.

Lack of physical activity

Lack of exercise means the body burns fewer calories, which can lead to fat accumulation. Less muscle means a slower metabolism, which can cause fat to accumulate more easily.

Hormonal changes

Estrogen plays a key role in regulating fat and blood circulation. Changes in estrogen levels, such as those that occur during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, can contribute to the development of cellulite.

Lipedema

Lipedema is a chronic disease that most commonly affects women and causes abnormal fat deposits, usually on the legs, buttocks, and hips, leading to a characteristic “pillar” appearance. Although often confused with being overweight or cellulite, lipedema is a condition that is not related to diet or lifestyle. It is a medical condition that causes pain, discomfort, and in advanced stages can even limit mobility and daily activities.

Genetics

Genetic predisposition plays a role in how the body stores fat. Some people are more likely to accumulate fat in certain areas, such as the belly or thighs, due to inherited genes.

Stress and lack of sleep

Prolonged stress increases levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to increased appetite and fat storage, especially in the abdominal area. Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism, encouraging fat storage.

Soft cellulite (adipose cellulite)

This type of cellulite is the most common and appears as soft, loose skin with a dimpled, wavy appearance. It most commonly occurs on the thighs, buttocks, arms, and abdomen. Soft cellulite is usually visible when a person is standing or moving, but may be less visible when lying down. The skin feels soft to the touch and moves easily. It is often associated with loss of muscle tone and increased fat deposits, as well as poor circulation.

Hard (fibrous) cellulite

Hard cellulite is characterized by a firmer, more compact texture. The skin may appear taut, but with deep dimples and knots. It most often occurs on the thighs and buttocks. This type of cellulite is always visible, regardless of body position. The skin may be tender to the touch, and the dimples are more pronounced. It often occurs in younger people and in those with firmer, more elastic skin. It may be linked to hereditary factors and hormonal changes.

Edematous cellulite

This type of cellulite is associated with fluid retention in the tissues. The skin may be swollen and spongy, with painful areas. It most often occurs on the legs, especially the calves and thighs. Edematous cellulite is always visible and can cause a feeling of heaviness and discomfort. The skin may be soft to the touch, but it can also be painful. It is often associated with circulatory problems, lymphatic system problems, and water retention.

Healthy diet

Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats (such as omega-3 fatty acids).

Avoid foods rich in saturated fats, sugars, and salt as they can contribute to fat accumulation and water retention, which worsens cellulite.

Hydrate yourself.

Drink enough water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and encourage the elimination of toxins from your body.

Physical activity

Activities such as running, walking, cycling, swimming or aerobics help burn calories and reduce body fat.

Focus on areas most affected by fat deposits and cellulite (e.g. thighs, buttocks) to firm and tone them.

Enough sleep

Make sure you get enough quality sleep, as lack of sleep can disrupt hormone regulation and encourage the accumulation of fat deposits.

Massage and lymphatic drainage

Specialized massages, such as lymphatic drainage, can help reduce fluid retention and improve circulation, which can reduce the visibility of cellulite.

Treatments for fat reduction

If you want more intense results, treatments such as radiofrequency, laser therapy, ultrasound, or liposuction can help reduce fat deposits and cellulite. These treatments usually require a consultation with a medical cosmetologist or aesthetic medicine specialist.

Anti-cellulite creams

Retinol can increase collagen production, which helps tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Creams with ivy, L-carnitine and plant extracts help strengthen the skin and reduce the accumulation of fat cells.

Honey Contour

Med Contour is a device of the latest generation that, thanks to ultrasound, aims to efficiently, safely and painlessly reshape the body - removing cellulite and tightening the skin of the body.

Adipology

Adipologie is the first medically approved device that stimulates the development of collagen in the hypodermis, the subcutaneous layer where fat is normally deposited, making it a unique technology for body contouring.

Lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a medical-cosmetic treatment that promotes the breakdown of cellulite, volume reduction, tissue blood flow, and elimination of edema. Lymphatic drainage, also called pressotherapy, achieves a balance of fluids in the body and a better general condition of the body.

Venus Legacy radiofrequency

Skin tightening, cellulite removal, and reduction of stretch marks and fat cells are achieved thanks to the thermal reaction that multipolar radio frequency creates in the tissue, thus stimulating the body's natural healing process, which creates new collagen and new elastin fibers.

Maintain a balanced calorie intake

Make sure your calorie intake is in line with your energy needs to avoid excess fat accumulation. Focus on nutrient-rich foods.

Reduce your sugar and salt intake

Excessive sugar intake can lead to fat accumulation, while too much salt can cause water retention and worsen cellulite.

Combine cardio and strength training

Cardio exercises, such as running, swimming, and cycling, help burn calories and reduce body fat. Strength exercises, such as squats, lunges, and weight training, help build muscle and tighten skin.
