So you are one of those lucky women...

...with fantastic genes to whom drinking, smoking, being on the pill, having a sweet tooth or not exercising much, does not seem to have any negative impact. And that’s great! But remember, that as with any other area of health it’s not only about great genes, it’s also about lifestyle. In respect of slimness and firmness, genes can only help you up to about the age of thirty.

Most clients we see, experience a drop in their metabolism at around the time they hit thirty, and realise that fat has already started to accumulate in all the wrong places and skin is not as firm as it used to be. And most women say that they have noticed cellulite to accumulate “the last three months”. The truth is that, apart from exceptional circumstances, these things do not take three months to develop, they rather take three years and more. When you really notice cellulite or local fat or skin looseness it is already in a relatively advanced stage (it has been developing for some months or years) and you will need to work harder to beat them.

Contrary to popular belief it is possible to have cellulite even if you are slim.

My experience with hundreds of clients has shown me that this is typically due to:

• Eating too much sugar or sugary drinks
• Eating so little that you have too little protein or flavonoids, nutrients essential for skin firmness and blood vessel health
• Not exercising because you rely on your good genes and restricted diet to keep slim
• Yo yo dieting, which depletes your skin of protein when you diet, and replaces it with fat when you put on weight again
• Alcohol and cigarette smoking that disrupt several physiological processes leading to cellulite
  
• Taking the contraceptive pill which causes fluid retention and cellulite fat accumulation
  

Staying slim overall might be quite different to keeping the surface of your skin cellulite-free. Some things that do help you stay slim, especially smoking and fad diets, actually accelerate the development of cellulite. Basically, there is not much difference between cellulite on slim women and cellulite on overweight women or women with normal weight. The main difference is the amount of excess calories consumed: normal weight and overweight women with cellulite consume more calories than slim women with cellulite, thereby filling up fat cells throughout the body, not just superficial (cellulite) fat cells.

Relax, there is some good news!

Since losing weight is not an option for slim women with cellulite, treatments and creams come handy in reducing it's severity (chronic or serious cases) or eliminating it (recent or light cases). Of course, quitting smoking, sugar and stimulants, eating foods rich in phytonutrients and protein, avoiding weight fluctuations and exercising are essential too.

LipoTherapeia is very successful in treating slim women with cellulite, because it is very effective is acting on the superficial tissues. i.e. the cellulite affected tissues. The Lipo Active Cellulite Massage and the Lipo Actives in particular do a great job in improving the health of the tissues damaged by poor lifestyle (thereby improving skin firmness, circulation and lymphatic drainage, and reducing inflammation and scar tissue, five of the six aspects of cellulite). In combination with  with a wholesome nutrition and exercise they also help with local fat loss (the sixth and most important aspect of cellulite).

The good thing about being slim and having a good anti-cellulite treatment such as LipoTherapeia is that you can see results faster and more clearly, because there is no underlying layer of fat (as is the case with overweight or even normal weight women) to affect the appearance of the legs and distract attention from the results of the treatment.
