2. Getting to know your device
What is cellulite?
Cellulite, also known as orange peel skin, is something that lots of women
have. Oestrogen, the female sex hormone is to blame. It is primarily respon-
sible for orange peel skin with its dimpling and bumps on the bottom and
thighs. Cellulite is not an illness and it normally isn't painful. Cellulite is a
purely cosmetic problem.
What causes cellulite?
Humans have lobules in their subcutaneous skin and these lobules are sep-
arated from one another by septae.
In women, the septae run perpendicular to the surface of the skin. This means
that women have softer and more flexible skin than men. The disadvantage
of this is that women's softer skin provides less resistance to the pressure of
the fatty tissue below. The subcutaneous fat therefore penetrates into the top
layers of skin more easily and makes the skin bulge out visibly.
