What you must know about cellulite | 04.
In the case of cellulite, we can divide hormonal activity into two very specific groups:
Z
action on adipocyte tissue
Z
action on fat distribution
Adipocytes contain two different hormonal receptors – Alpha and Beta.
Alpha beta-receptors
Alpha receptors are responsible for adipogenesis, they transform free fatty acids from the blood into
triglycerides (fat) to be stored in the adipocyte cells.
Beta receptors
Release fat from adipocytes to be used as energy for muscle movement and to regulate body tem-
perature. When the lipolytic action of the beta receptors is activated by exercise or other activity, fat
is depleted from the cells, ultimately inducing circumference reduction.

Cellulite stage 1
At this stage, the skin appears normal; cellulite is visible only when the skin is pinched reveal-
ing the “orange peel” sign, the first symptom of cellulite.
Cellulite stage 2
Blood and lymphatic circulation is further impaired, the “orange peel” appearance is now visi-
ble without pinching. Reticular fibres’ hardens and pull on the epidermis, dimples start to
appear.
Cellulite stage 3
The skin loses its elasticity causing fat cells to bulge into the dermis. The skin surface becomes
clearly marked, with alternating horizontal indentations, nodules and dimples. Broken capillar-
ies and varicose veins are often present.
Cellulite stage 4
The adipocytes have a tendency to group together in compartments and form clusters of fat.
Nodules tend to grow and fibrotic tissue becomes denser, aggravating vascular problems. The skin
losses its elasticity causing waves in the inner thighs. This is the most advanced stage of cellulite.
