Cellulite is a non-inflammatory, cosmetic alteration of fat tissue that occurs predominantly in women. More than 85 % of women over the age of 20 are affected by cellulite, and its occurrence is associated with both obesity and weak connective tissue. The typical symptom is sagging, dimpled skin, especially on the thighs, bottom, belly, hips, and upper arms.
Cellulite occurs when too much fat accumulates in fat cells, or when fat cells swell due to hormonal fluctuations. As a result, the enlarged cells press on the skin and make the collagen bands visible, which is perceived as “dimples”. They can also press on small blood and lymphatic vessels, causing slight congestion.
The treatment of cellulite can be supported by regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient hydration. Procedures such as lymphatic drainage can also be helpful. Liposuction can remove fat tissue, but the typical “orange-peel” appearance often remains or may reappear.
The powerful SLIMYONIK® Body Contour Gel effectively helps reduce visible signs of cellulite by promoting the breakdown of fat to tighten skin tissue. Skin functions are activated by a highly effective mix of bioactive substances – including microorganisms that simulate the effect of endurance training. For optimum results, supplement with SLIMYONIK® Silhouette Refiner containing, among other things, artichoke extract from fresh plants, levan from sugarcane, and caffeine from tea leaves.
