Unsightly dentistry – health information

Unattractive dents

With advancing age, many women get cellulite.

(dbp / fru) Especially in summer, when the clothes are a bit shorter, they are often seen – the ugly dents on the buttocks and thighs. The correct medical term for the colloquially referred to as “orange peel” points is “cellulite”. The commonly used term “cellulitis” is wrong from a medical point of view because it is an inflammatory process of the subcutaneous tissue caused by a bacterial infection.

Such an infection is not present with a cellulite. The change of the skin surface is a purely aesthetic problem and not a disease manifestation. To prevent or reduce numerous medical, alternative medical and cosmetic treatment methods are offered. The cellulite can not be eliminated completely – at best, it can be reduced.

Estrogen is partly responsible

Cellulite is largely a gender problem. Cellulite is “to blame” on the structure of connective tissue in women and the female sex hormone estrogen, according to the internet pages of the “gynecologists in the net“. The dents on the thigh and buttocks are filled fat cells that could no longer be held in the subcutaneous tissue by the parallel connective tissue. The woman’s fatty storage cells also have the ability to be replenished a lot larger than men, which is why men are more likely to be unaffected by cellulite.

In contrast, nearly every woman over the age of 20 suffers from orange peel in more or less violent form. From a cosmetic point of view, three levels of the skin are often differentiated: The dents are only visible when you pinch the skin, they are standing up, but not lying down or you can see them lying down. Although cellulite does not limit one’s health, many people are offended and desperate for relief. Correspondingly many preparations and treatment approaches are circulating on the market. But to what extent the dents in the skin can be treated is poorly understood.

Gentle methods against aggravation of the skin

Sport and a balanced diet are considered to be relatively effective and gentle measures to reduce cellulite if they are done permanently. In combination with this, various creams (eg with caffeine), massages and other methods to stimulate blood circulation and improve lymphatic drainage can be used for therapy. Liposuction is very effective because liposuction is eliminated and the structure of the tissue is broken. But even those who put themselves under the knife for the beauty must not expect lasting relief – sooner or later the body replenishes its bearings.

“Mesocellulite” is the name of another gentle and gentle procedure in the field of so-called mesotherapy. “Using microfine microinjections, a cocktail with highly circulation-promoting, metabolism-activating and fat-mobilizing active ingredients is applied to the affected areas over a wide area in order to smooth and tighten the problem areas,” reports the German Society for Mesotherapy. And finally, ultrasound, sea salt baths and cryotherapy can also be used to improve the appearance of the skin. For all forms of treatment woman has to grab in her own pocket, because the statutory health insurance usually do not pay for these cosmetic procedures.
