CELLULITE REMOVAL

There are three categories of cellulite:
- Hard cellulite : The skin is firm and can be painful when touched.
- Soft cellulite : The skin has a spongey appearance is not painful when touched
- Edematous cellulite : This is among the most complex types of cellulite to treat.This is caused by poor circulation and is aggravated by fluid retention.

Cellulite can affect people of any age, but it is more likely to affect us as we age, and is more common in women than men. It is estimated that between 80-90% of women experience cellulite at some point in their lives. Hormonal factors, genetics, lifestyle, and diet may all contribute to the development of cellulite.
