The California Institute of Skin Health, led by Dr. Rudolph Veerhance, widely known among practitioners and theorists of the beauty industry in the US and Canada, recently conducted a study that involved 453 cosmetic clinics from the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Japan and other countries. The study showed that the number of people who want to get rid of cellulite in one way or another is constantly growing (on average, plus 8% per year). Only a few decades ago in developed countries, only one in three women after 30 years complained of cellulite. To date, this problem worries almost every eighth inhabitant of the planet older ... 15 years!.
Dr. Veyergans has been dealing with cellulite for more than 38 years and has come to the conclusion that cellulite is a contrived problem of society, oversaturated with cutting-edge technologies in the field of cosmetology, according to an Internet publication for girls and women aged 14-35.

Most cosmeticians consider cellulite to be a disease of subcutaneous fat, and getting rid of its manifestations - bumps, dimples and t. - classifies as treatment. Strictly speaking, in Latin, cellulitus means "purulent-diffuse inflammation of the connective tissue". However, in the world dictionaries there is also the word cellulite, which from most languages ??is translated as "bumpy fatty deposits on the hips, abdomen and buttocks". Thus, the discrepancy between cosmetic and medical terms, which call very different phenomena, not only engenders some confusion in the minds of consumers of salon programs, but is also often the subject of scientific discussions.
Unlike estheticians, many doctors - endocrinologists, nutritionists, therapists, gynecologists - consider cellulite to be only a cosmetic defect that does not usually require special treatment. Hence, such definitions as "invented disease" (Nurnberger F, Muller G. , 1978), "so-called cellulite" (Lotti T. et. al. 1990), "the natural process of development of a predominantly female organism", (T. Korolkova, MAPO, C. -Petersburg, 2004).
Speaking of cellulite, often unreasonably use the term "lipodystrophy", says the director of the medical center "Clinic of Beauty", a physician-physiotherapist, to. Oksana Kalinina (r. Ivanovo). From a medical point of view, lipodystrophy is "total or local subcutaneous tissue damage with a decrease (atrophic form) or an increase (hypertrophic form) of the fat tissue volume in the affected area, caused by different causes (post-induction lipodystrophy, painful lipomatosis / Dercum disease, congenital generalized lipodystrophy and t. ) ».
