It's not just fat deposits and skin that looks like an orange peel that deprives the figure of attraction. Cellulite is the real Achilles heel of Western women and, first of all, the inhabitants of the Mediterranean (the most popular operations in the field of cosmetic surgery in Italy have become liposuction). But in the last decade, the number of those who suffer from this shortcoming has declined: in Italy - by almost 10%. If in 1994, accursed anti-esthetism was observed in 97% of Italians, but today this figure has dropped to 81%.

Such data came from the Association of Cosmetology Physicians and the Higher School of Cosmetic Medicine. In April, proclaimed the month of free cellulite prevention, a special study was conducted, in which 6 thousand. Italian women aged 18 to 57 years living in various parts of Italy, as well as 200 medical professionals.

According to the chairman of the Higher School of Cosmetic Medicine Alberto Massiore, such a significant reduction in the number of people suffering from cellulite is primarily due to "lifestyle changes.

We are talking about regular visits to athletic fields and proper nutrition, as well as the use of such medical and cosmetic procedures as massage, intradermotherapy, other newest methods of detecting and preventing the formation of adipose tissue ".

In the course of the study, the results of long-term clinical trials of the use of hormonal contraceptives. Women who have long been taking such pills are guaranteed the appearance of cellulite. This is evidenced by statistics: 89% of those who at the age of 16 to 35 years have long been taking birth control pills, there is cellulite. While 70% of those who did not use such drugs, cellulite is absent.
