Cellulite And Hormonal Changes

The main hormonal changes for women occur at puberty, pregnancy and menopause. In women, hormonal changes can trigger the appearance of cellulite. This means that a woman may have newer and older cellulite tissue at the same time on different areas of her body. For example, a young woman has had some areas of cellulite on her thighs since her teens so when a pregnancy triggers a larger area of cellulite, she will now have cellulite on her body at different stages of cellulite formation.

Predisposed To Cellulite

Women are predisposed to the occurrence of cellulite. The extra fat that is carried by women is meant to support a pregnancy and lactation. 90% of women get cellulite during their lives. It does not matter if a woman is athletic, slender or overweight because none of these factors will influence whether she has or does not have cellulite. Factors that are believed to influence the appearance of cellulite are genetics, hormonal changes, poor skin tone, weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle.

The earlier that cellulite formation is treated, the easier that it will be to smooth out the appearance of the skin. When the skin is in a more stubborn stage, prolonged treatments will be needed to improve the appearance of the skin.

Four Stages Of Cellulite

The first stage of cellulite is numbered 0 and means that cellulite cannot be detected during a pinch test. The second stage of cellulite is numbered 1 and in this stage, a pinch test will reveal cellulite, which cannot be seen when lying, or standing. The third stage of cellulite is numbered 2 and the cellulite cannot be seen when lying down although it can be seen when standing up. In the fourth stage numbered 3, the cellulite can be seen in a standing and lying position.

Being able to identify the stages of cellulite can help you to treat your cellulite. If you can prevent cellulite or begin treating it while it is in stage 1, you will have faster results from your efforts at improving the appearance of cellulite. This does not mean that you cannot have success at treating the later stages of cellulite.
