Are you worried about cellulite on your arms? We explain how to get rid of cellulite on arms and why it appears.
Cellulite can appear in different parts of the body, it is very common in the area of the thighs and buttocks, but it can also appear in other areas such as the abdomen, knees, arms and even the nape of the neck.
The area where it usually appears is around the biceps and is usually very complex, since in summer we all like to wear dresses and tank tops or short sleeves, where the arms are the protagonists.
As we have seen in other articles, having cellulite is normal. In fact 90% of women have it at some point in their lives, but that does not mean we like it. Cellulite can even give us an insecurity, especially when it accumulates in visible areas, such as the arms, affecting the way we enjoy life.
To detect if we have cellulite, even before noticing the lower part of the biceps looser, rougher or with bumps, we must do a very simple test. This test consists of taking a large pinch, and see if we see dimples in the pinch. If so, we are starting to develop cellulite, and it is the best time to put the brakes on it.
If you are in this incipient phase or even if you already have orange peel skin on the arms, do not worry because cellulite on the arms can be reduced without professional treatment.
What causes cellulite on arms?
The cause of the cellulite process is due to fluid retention, which can originate from various causes, both genetic and hormonal, lifestyle habits, age, etc. This edema chains a series of consequences that end up causing the fat cells or adipocytes, increase in size and quantity, bulging the skin. The micro-circulation suffers, the connective tissue becomes taut, pulling the skin inwards. This whole process occurs at a deep level of the skin.
What causes cellulite to appear in one area of the body or another is mostly due to genetic and hormonal factors, circulatory problems, skin quality, poor diet, smoking, lack of exercise, etc.
In the case of the arms, it is also more common to appear with age, due to the loss of collagen in the tissues. Collagen fibers support the skin, and their degradation can produce flaccidity and the appearance of cushioned skin.
