n  Cellulite is caused by a disorder that affects the hypodermis, a tissue that lies beneath the skin, being predominantly fat.

The first stage of cellulite has its origin in these micro-imbalances: the cells and capillaries, in fact, to compensate for the reduced availability of oxygen may react in an abnormal way by increasing the permeability of its membrane, which becomes thinner and more fragile . Because of small injuries that can break, causing the release of fat that goes to infiltrate more and more extensive areas of adipose lobules, giving rise to the phenomenon of cellulite.

To remedy the situation, should intervene in order to facilitate the absorption of fat: this would be possible by eliminating the causes that have resulted in slowing of blood flow. If not, the body reacts by isolating areas where the structure has been altered cells of the lobules, giving rise to the second stage of cellulite. In this phase the production of new collagen fibers that are responsible for encapsulating the affected areas.

The third stage is characterized by the formation of nodules that become increasingly large and painful to the touch and, in severe cases, can even reach the fourth stage, with a worsening of these symptoms, aggravated by signs of circulatory failure (which are accentuated if overweight).
