Furthermore, it should be noted that female tissues are sensitive to hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause) and in those moments when the most advanced cellulite.
“Our skin is divided into three layers,” explains Dr. Cecilia Orlandi, owner of the clinic that bears his name. “Is the surface layer, called epidermis, the media, called the dermis, and deeper, called the hypodermis or subcutaneous tissue. In a smooth, flawless skin, adipose tissue is distributed in the deep part of the skin in the form of lobules separated by connective septa perpendicular to the skin. Through these walls are blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as nerve fibers. These lobules contain fat cells or adipocytes, as they grow, they stress the walls. Then the walls become irregular and it can be seen on the surface of the skin and cellulite. ”
