Cellulite, the dimpled looking skin that commonly appears in the thigh, bottom or belly areas, is a hot topic for many. According to a study in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, it is estimated that 85% of all women 21 years and older have cellulite.
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite develops mainly on the thighs as this area has more fatty tissues. Other factors that contribute to the development of cellulite could be:
Increased fatty tissue caused by weight gain
Poor circulation in the legs
Poor lymphatic drainage
Thinning outer layer of skin
Age, estrogen and family history
While cellulite might be frustrating, it does not indicate that there is an issue in your overall health. The good news is, there is a way to make it less noticeable!

When should I consider the G5 cellulite treatment?

Grade 1: No visible cellulite standing, sitting, or laying down. You can only see it when the skin is pinched.
Grade 2: Dimples become visible when you stand only. Not when laying down.
Grade 3: You can see cellulite when you are standing AND when you are laying down.
