Cellulite: why it appears and what you can do to improve its appearance

Cellulite is one of the most searched topics on the internet and, at the same time, one of the most surrounded by myths. It affects more than 80% of adult women, regardless of their weight or build, and has much more to do with skin structure and circulation than with lifestyle habits.

What exactly is cellulite?

Cellulite, also known as orange-peel skin, occurs when fatty tissue beneath the skin pushes against the connective tissue, creating that uneven, dimpled appearance. Factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, poor circulation, or fluid retention can accentuate it.

What helps improve its appearance?

Although there is no magic solution, there are habits and techniques that, with consistency, help to visibly improve skin texture:

• Activate circulation: movement and drainage techniques prevent fluids from stagnating in the tissues.
• Hydration: drinking enough water and using moisturizing creams improves skin elasticity.
• Regular exercise: especially exercise that activates the legs and glutes.
• Pressotherapy: graduated compression stimulates the lymphatic system and helps reduce fluid retention, which can improve skin appearance over time.

Pressotherapy as part of your routine

Pressotherapy mimics the effect of manual lymphatic drainage by applying progressive pressure to the legs. With regular 20-30 minute sessions, many people notice an improvement in the sensation of heaviness and in the overall appearance of their skin.

Devices like the GlowTech Kit allow you to incorporate this technique comfortably at home, without the need to travel to a clinic.

Pressotherapy is a personal wellness supplement. Results vary by individual and it does not replace medical advice.
