Water cellulite or fat cellulite

Cellulite most often appears around the thighs, abdomen and buttocks. Symptoms of cellulite include numerous dimples, bulges and papules, which arise as a result of overgrowth of fat cells and liquids accumulating between them. Changes in the subcutaneous tissue may be the cause of pain, color changes in the skin and skin striae. What type of cellulite have you discovered on your thighs? Water or fat?

Water Cellulite

This type of cellulite usually occurs in lean and athletic people. It can occur in both older and younger women. The first symptoms of water cellulite are usually observed during puberty and its causes are inadequate blood and lymphatic flow as well as hormonal disorders. Symptoms of water cellulite include uneven skin surface and slight swelling. These changes are visible only after squeezing the skin into a fold. Changes in the subcutaneous tissue result in insufficient nutrition of the skin, which becomes dry and rough.

Fatty cellulite

This type of cellulite appears most often in overweight women or in those who have lost weight in a short time. It also applies to people who lead a sedentary lifestyle. It is assumed that fat cellulite may be conditioned by genetic predispositions. This type of cellulite is a common complaint in people with flaccidity and weak muscles. It can also be the effect of taking dehydrating medications. Symptoms of fat cellulite include irregularities on the skin, which are easy to sense with your fingers: depressions, nodules and papules. The reason for skin changes is disturbances in the functioning of fat cells and reaching excessive volume as a result of uncontrolled storage of fat and carbohydrates.

Cellulite develops for many years, and during this time many changes occur in the subcutaneous tissue and dermis.
