The balance between the production and elimination of fat is maintained through a natural process carried out by cells called adipocytes. Even with a perfectly healthy lifestyle, the activity of these cells tends to slow down over time, leading to an acceleration of fat storage and a constriction of blood and lymphatic vessels.

Cellulite, which affects 90% of women (even the thinnest and most athletic), results from fat storage in the adipocytes (fat cells) and fluid retention in the body. As the adipocytes enlarge, the surrounding connective tissue (septa) pulls on the skin surface and produces dimpling. At the same time, local circulation is slowed and metabolic wastes accumulate. Cellulite appears, with its orange peel aspect.

Due to weight fluctuations, pregnancies, aging and other factors, the skin gradually loses its tonicity and suppleness. Even though this skin sagging affects the entire body, certain areas are more prone to it: inner thighs, stomach, arms, etc.

Symptoms such as heavy and painful legs, or swollen feet and ankles, are the result of poor blood and lymphatic circulation. Fluctuations in fluid retention can occur over the course of a single day or throughout a woman’s cycle. What are the factors? Prolonged standing or sitting, a sodium-rich diet, overly tight clothing or high temperatures can disturb the proper functioning of the circulatory system.
