Different Types of Cellulite
Click For Brochure
Hard or Solid
cellulite usually occurs in women who are active (such as
dancers or runners). Hard cellulite is difficult to get rid of
because it doesn't lift from the body easily. It's also
harder to see because it attaches directly to the muscle.
Soft
cellulite is not as
concentrated as hard cellulite and is much more visible.
It occurs in large areas and, because it doesn't attach so
strongly to the muscle, it's looser, often sagging from the
body. The result is often poor muscle tone. Even
though it's easier to spot, it's also easier to remove.
Test
for cellulite, lightly pinch
or press an area of tissue between your thumb and finger (or in
a larger area, between the palms of your two hands). Normal fat
appears fairly smooth, but cellulite will reveal dimples or
ripples -- like the skin of an orange. Cellulite tissue is also
more sensitive and can feel cold to the touch. It might
appear whiter than the rest of your skin. |
