Dr. York Yates, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Layton, Utah, has worked with countless women in the Salt Lake City area who deal with cellulite. Once you understand what it is, it becomes easier to stop blaming yourself and start looking at real options, like Aveli™ cellulite treatment.
What Cellulite Actually Is
Cellulite isn’t caused by fat alone. It’s the result of how fat, skin, and connective tissue are positioned in your body.
Beneath the skin, bands of connective tissue called septa anchor the skin to deeper layers. As fat cells push up and septa pull down, it creates that lumpy, uneven surface known as cellulite.
This structure is completely normal and happens to most women at some point in life. Men rarely get noticeable cellulite because their connective tissue is arranged differently.
Why It Happens to Fit People, Too
You can be a very fit person and still have cellulite. That’s because cellulite isn’t caused by a lack of fitness. It’s caused by the structure of the tissue beneath the skin. Even women with low body fat can develop cellulite if their connective bands pull tightly enough or their skin is naturally thin.
Hormones like estrogen, changes in circulation, and even aging can make cellulite more visible over time. Muscle tone helps with overall shape, but it can’t change the anatomy of the septa.
Treating the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
Cellulite isn’t caused by toxins or poor hygiene. It’s not a result of being lazy or doing something wrong. Creams, massages, or brushing techniques may temporarily smooth the skin, but they don’t treat the root cause.
Aveli™ is different. It treats the septa bands responsible for cellulite dimpling, and it’s available at Dr. Yates’ practice in Layton. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and done in the office.
It’s a great option for all women, including fitness fanatics who want their skin to reflect their hard work and healthy lifestyle.
