What are the Causes of Cellulite?
Until recently, very few studies had looked at the cause of cellulite. As a result, theories
abounded but answers were few. Recent studies have revealed two major causes of cellulite.
The first is a hardening of the connective tissue support system of fat. These are referred to
as connective tissue (fibrous) septae. These are made of collagen.
Over time, these septae harden and contract. The contraction results in most of the dimpled
appearance that characterizes cellulite. Additionally, the contraction leads to a blockage of
the blood vessels and lymphatics. The blood vessel blockage further hardens the septae.
The lymphatic blockage leads to thick, swollen appearing skin.
The second major cause of cellulite is protrusion of fat cells into the lower part of the skin
known as the “reticular dermis”. This protrusion results in worsening of the dimpling.
Treatments for cellulite need to address both of these issues in order to have really good
results. Until recently, no treatments were available to address either issue effectively, much
less both. Prevention First is the first practice in the USA to have access to treatment that
addresses both issues and does so with minimal pain and side effects: Acoustic Wave
Therapy (AWT).
Acoustic Wave Therapy for Cellulite
Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) represents a new approach to cellulite treatment. AWT uses
pressure waves that impact both of the major causes of cellulite: fibrous septae and
protrusion of fat into the lower dermis. The AWT produces a pressure wave that passes
through skin and fat to impact the fibrous septae. The pressure breaks up the collagen of the
septae and releases the skin, allowing a smoother surface.
AWT also helps to thicken the dermis and decrease fat protrusion. Ultrasound pictures
confirm dermal thickening after treatment. The thickened dermis helps to reduce the
protrusion of fat into the dermis. Again, this reduces the appearance of cellulite. With its
ability to impact both of the major causes of cellulite, AWT is uniquely suited to improve the
appearance of cellulite.
