“I have researched cellulite for more than two decades and I can definitely say that sugar, in all its guises and forms, is the most important cause of cellulite for most women today. Yes, other factors are important but sugar over the years becomes the silent cellulite creator (plus it contributes to skin aging and whole body ageing).”

Sugar is the biggest cause of cellulite today
Cellulite has multiple causes, both genetic, hormonal and lifestyle-related so for each person there can be a different mix of causes.
Also, in all health and aesthetic conditions, usually 3-4 factors coincide to bring them about. So for most people there are 3-4 causes coinciding.
However, in the Western world we can safely say that sugar, in all it guises, is the number one cause of cellulite today:
White sugar, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, glucose/dextrose, maltose, fructose, honey, corn syrup, apple syrup, maple syrup, rice syrup and all other kinds of different “syrups”
And of course all the different pastries, desserts, cakes, cookies, croissants, muffins, chocolate bars, confectionary and other foods that contain the above forms of sugar
Unfortunately, artificial and natural sweeteners do not help either and some of them are detrimental to health
So all in all, to put it simply, anything sweet causes cellulite or is not good for you. This is not to say that we should never consume a ‘treat’ but we should treat ‘treats’ for what they are - treats - and only consume them rarely.
I know this is difficult for most people but life is all about choices and outcomes. We can consume more sugar and ‘treat’ ourselves all the time and get cellulite, weight gain, skin and blood vessel ageing and inflammation.
Or we can consume little sugar and have better health and better skin. There is no other way.
What about all the other causes of cellulite?
For some people or some groups of people other major causes of cellulite are equally or more important, depending on their lifestyle:
For young people the contraceptive pill (birth control) is a very important cause, as it stimulates hypodermal fat accumulation on the thighs and quite often affects blood circulation
Fried food is lethal for both skin and blood vessels, plus provides excess calories, so people who consume too much fried food may be affected more
Inactivity is a major cause of cellulite, as it leads to skin laxity, poor circulation and fat accumulation
Overall excess calories, even derived from “healthy” carbs or “healthy” fats, will also lead to fat accumulation and cellulite
And for many people, sugar consumption is combined with fried oils and too many calories (a donut is a good example of all 3 evils in one place, sugar, starch and oil, all fried up) plus inactivity plus hormonal contraception, which is a good example of 3-4 lifestyle factors acting together to cause cellulite
If you add alcohol drinking and smoking/vaping to all the above factors, cellulite is guaranteed - perhaps not immediately but in a few years definitely so
Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
