Exploring Different Ways to Get Rid of Cellulite on The Thighs

Why Does Cellulite Occur on the Thighs?

Cellulite can occur on the thighs because there is naturally more fatty tissue in this area. Other factors that increase the risk of cellulite include.

1. age
2. estrogen
3. family history
4. inflammation of the tissue
5. increased adipose tissue due to weight gain
6. loss of collagen
7. poor circulation (a common foot problem).
8. poor lymphatic drainage
9. thinning of the epidermis (the uppermost layer of the skin).

In terms of overall health, there is nothing wrong with cellulite. However, many people want to reduce its appearance.

Several home remedies and exercises promise to do this, but whether these solutions live up to expectations remains to be seen. Read on to get a clear idea of how to get rid of cellulite.

Massages

One promising remedy is to get a massage. This can be done at home or with the help of a professional masseur.

Massages can reduce cellulite by improving lymphatic drainage. It can also help stretch the skin tissue. It can also help to extend the gaps left by cellulite.

Massage creams provide the same benefits, but the massage process is essential. You cannot apply cream and expect the cellulite to disappear.

You should also know that just one massage will not help when it comes to cellulite. You must repeat the process consistently to get the desired results and maintain them.

Bioactive Collagen Peptides

You may already be wary of dietary supplement manufacturers' promises to transform your body with quick solutions.

However, a 2015 study found dramatic improvements in cellulite in women who took bioactive collagen peptides.

Participants took a daily oral supplement for six months. Overall, there was a noticeable decrease in cellulite on the thighs. Improvements were seen primarily in middle and overweight women, with middle-weight women experiencing the most significant improvement.

The results are interesting, but further studies need to be conducted to confirm the role of any supplement in improving cellulite.

Drink More Water

Drinking water is another easy option that can help with cellulite. Not only does it hydrate you, but water also promotes blood circulation and lymph flow.

Weight Loss

For some overweight and obese people, losing weight can also help in reducing cellulite. Losing excess body fat can naturally reduce the appearance of cellulite.

However, remember that anyone can have cellulite, regardless of weight. It is not limited to people who are overweight or obese.

If you want to lose weight or firm up your muscles, you may find that a balanced diet and regular exercise can help reduce cellulite on your thighs. 

AirSculpt® Smooth

Those who have tried losing cellulite on their own with limited success may want to consider a treatment like AirSculpt® Smooth. This quick cosmetic procedure is designed to simultaneously remove lower body fat and reduce cellulite for a more complete and youthful appearance.  

Everything is done in a minimally invasive manner without the use of scalpels, stitches, needles, or general anesthesia. Using a fine tool guided mechanically with a handheld device, our surgeons can seamlessly release the bands that cause cellulite from beneath the skin.

A light on the device is used to illuminate the area and make it easier to identify cellulite dimples. The targeted area's septa bands are then hooked and released, with the surgeon confirming delivering visibly smoother skin in real-time. The process is comfortable and requires less than two days of downtime. 

Patients can combine AirSculpt® Smooth with fat removal on the thighs, under the buttocks, or any other region, or target stubborn cellulite dimples alone for instant relief. All of our procedures, whether skin tightening, fat removal and transfers, or cellulite treatments, require entry points just two millimeters wide, which heal to look like freckles at worst.
