The orange peel, also known as cellulitis, is a cosmetic condition in which the skin appears uneven and dimpled, similar to an orange peel. It is characterized by the appearance of fat, fluid, and toxin deposits beneath the skin, which alter its structure and appearance.
Cellulite can primarily affect areas of the body with greater accumulation of fatty tissue, such as the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms. Although it is more common in women, it can also affect men.
Why does cellulite occur?
There are several factors that contribute to the development of orange peel skin, such as:
- Fat accumulation: Excessive fat deposits can put pressure on the skin and cause dimples to appear.
- The structure of the skin and the distribution of subcutaneous fat vary from person to person. Some people have a connective tissue structure that facilitates the formation of cellulite.
- Circulation and lymphatic problems: This factor can contribute to the accumulation of fluids and toxins, worsening the appearance of orange peel skin.
- Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, can influence the appearance of cellulite.
Orange peel skin: how to eliminate it
Fortunately, there are aesthetic treatments that specialize in reducing the appearance of orange peel skin. Some of the most effective are:
Endermologie Lipomassage
It involves the use of a specialized device that uses a motorized roller and controlled suction to gently massage the skin and subcutaneous tissue. During the treatment, the roller glides over the targeted area, applying gentle pressure while performing a deep massage.
The main objective of Lipomassage is to stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, as well as increase the drainage of toxins and eliminate accumulated fat. It also helps break down fatty deposits, improve skin elasticity, and reduce fluid retention.
This treatment is performed in regular sessions, and the duration and frequency of sessions can vary according to individual needs. Results are usually gradual, and it is recommended to combine Lipomassage with a healthy diet and regular exercise for the best long-term results.

Ultratone Futura Pro
It is an aesthetic procedure that uses microcurrent technology to tone muscles and improve the appearance of the skin.
The Ultratone Futura Pro device emits gentle, low-frequency electrical currents delivered through electrodes placed on different areas of the body. These currents mimic the body's natural electrical signals to stimulate muscles.
During treatment, electrodes are strategically placed on the targeted muscles and microcurrents are delivered. This causes the muscles to contract and relax in a controlled manner, similar to what happens during physical exercise.
The muscle stimulation caused by microcurrents helps strengthen and tone muscles, improving skin appearance and blood and lymphatic circulation, which can help reduce fluid retention and the appearance of cellulite.

Venus Freeze
It is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses radiofrequency technology and electromagnetic fields to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce cellulite.
During the treatment, a special device is applied to the area to be treated. This device emits radiofrequency waves and controlled electromagnetic fields that penetrate the deepest layers of the skin without damaging the surface.
Radiofrequency generates heat in the subcutaneous tissues, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastinThese are important proteins for skin elasticity and firmness. As collagen and elastin production is stimulated, skin can become firmer and smoother.
Additionally, the heat generated by radiofrequency also helps increase blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can reduce fluid retention and the appearance of cellulite.
The Venus Freeze body treatment is painless and requires no recovery time. A series of sessions is generally recommended for best results. Session length and frequency may vary depending on individual needs and the area being treated.

It is an aesthetic procedure that uses radiofrequency technology to improve the appearance of the skin and promote cell regeneration.
The device for this treatment emits waves that penetrate the deep layers of the skin.
Radiofrequency generates controlled heat in the subcutaneous tissues, stimulating blood circulation and cellular metabolism. This promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
Indiba radiofrequency therapy is painless and noninvasive, and requires no recovery time. A series of sessions is generally recommended for best results. The duration and frequency of sessions will depend on individual needs and the area being treated.

Impress 240 Pressotherapy
It is a cosmetic procedure that uses a specialized device to apply controlled air pressure to different parts of the body.
During treatment, inflatable boots, sleeves, or belts are placed around the areas to be treated, such as the legs, arms, or abdomen. These devices are connected to a machine that inflates and deflates the air chambers sequentially, applying rhythmic, gentle pressure to the area.
Pressotherapy works by stimulating the lymphatic and circulatory systems. The pressure exerted by the device helps improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow, which helps eliminate excess fluids and toxins from the body. It can also reduce swelling, fluid retention, and improve the appearance of cellulite.
It's important to keep in mind that cellulite is a natural condition and is not solely related to being overweight. Even thin people can have cellulite due to the combination of factors mentioned above.
While there is no definitive cure for this condition, adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, proper hydration, and skin care can help reduce its appearance.
