Cleveland Smartlipo TriPlex Banishes Cellulite

 

Cleveland Smartlipo TriPlex battles celluliteA dimpled smile is cute but dimples lose their cuteness when they migrate to your thighs. The bane of “mature” men and women, cellulite can actually strike at any time. While commonly associated with middle age, and while age does increase the probability of developing cellulite, dimpled thighs can develop much earlier in life, typically any time after the age of 20.

A greater problem for women than men -- 85% of women over 20 battle cellulite – men aren’t off the hook. Many men also find themselves fighting the cellulite battle, particularly as they move toward their 40s or become overweight.

Cellulite occurs when fat deposits “pop out” between the connective strands of tissue that support the skin and give it structure. Called septae, these strands create “pockets” where fat is stored within the skin layers, holding the fat in place so that our skin looks plumped up and healthy.

Two things generally cause cellulite formation: the structure of the skin and fat.

  1. Skin structure is determined by your genes. If you are blessed with septae that are strong and woven tightly together, you are less likely to have a problem with cellulite. But if your septae are weak or loosely connected, you’re more likely to develop lumpy thighs.
  2. Excess fat deposits can also cause cellulite to form. While you don’t have to be overweight to develop cellulite, excess pounds don’t help. If your septae are asked to store more fat than they have room for, the excess fat pops out, causing unattractive bumps and wrinkles in your skin.

Smartlipo TriPlex can help to permanently reduce cellulite. We’ll tell you how it works next time.
