Orange peel tissue is called honeycomb tissue in medicine. Fat cells become larger and accumulate in the connective tissue of dermis, and the intercellular space is small, which squeezes the microvessels, causing water and metabolites to stay in the fat layer, so the skin surface presents uneven and irregular appearance. Because it is similar to the appearance of air-dried orange peel, it is also called orange peel tissue.
The reason why orange peel tissue is most easily formed is the part with little exercise and the deterioration of skin elasticity. Lack of exercise and relaxation caused by age are the main reasons for orange peel tissue. The place where the human body grows orange peel tissue most easily is the buttocks, and the accumulation of sponge tissue is particularly fast, which easily makes the buttocks look slack and droopy. Skin support and elasticity act on the dermis, and then on the subcutaneous tissue with fat.
The appearance of orange peel tissue is a reminder of women's health.
In the past, people also thought that orange peel tissue was an inevitable fat accumulation with age. However, the latest scientific research results confirm that orange peel tissue has been formed in the body for a long time, and it was only revealed later. This result tells us that we should change our lifestyle, reconsider our diet and do more exercise.
Orange peel tissue is a unique structural change of adipose tissue. When metabolism is disordered, the volume of adipose tissue increases, and the molecules in adipose tissue exceed the gap between adipose cells. As a result, microscopic nodules of subcutaneous adipose tissue are formed, which are filled with lymph that is easy to accumulate toxins. Destroy the process of blood supply and effective utilization of garbage in the body. The result is uneven skin, which looks like orange peel in appearance, and orange peel tissue will not hurt at all.
■ The etiology is still unclear, and there are many inducing factors.
The reason and mechanism of inducing orange peel tissue are not very clear. The main factor is genetic factor-orange peel tissue is only found in women, and it is inherited by the mother and passed down by the daughter. It is still uncertain whether it is related to age. To some extent, women are prone to have orange peel tissue, even young women and slim women. Young women may appear after sexual maturity, usually during pregnancy, and most women appear in the early stage of menopause. A large number of reasons can be caused: 1. Endocrine disorders (such as hypothyroidism or pancreatic dysfunction, diabetes); 2. Vascular diseases (atherosclerosis or hypertension); Overweight or tending to be overweight; 3. Incorrect diet, little exercise and unhealthy lifestyle; 4. The pace of life is tense; 5. The deterioration of urban ecological environment; 6. Take hormonal contraceptives without the supervision of a doctor.
Orange peel tissue often appears in the following parts of women: under the stomach, buttocks, thighs, forearms and inside knees. Pinch the skin in these places with two fingers. If the skin is not smooth and there are some small bumps like orange peel, you have reason to pay attention.
Orange peel tissue only appears in women, because of the special adipose tissue structure of women. There is no threat to men, even those who seldom exercise and overeat. Experts say that because of the reasons of life extension, women will accumulate fat in order to prepare for the possible lack of diet.
■ "Unloading" orange peel should promote metabolism
The prevention and primary treatment of orange peel tissue need a whole set of methods. Include improving blood circulation of subcutaneous fat cells, promoting metabolism, discharging body garbage, accelerating decomposition of fat cells, and strengthening muscle tissue and connective tissue.
1. Let's start with diet. The calorie of food should not exceed 1200 kcal. It is suggested to eat more foods rich in cellulose: rice and coarse grain bread. Eat less salt, greasy food and sweets. Drink no less than two liters of water every day, so as to eliminate toxins and waste materials in the body on time. Some experts believe that it is their retention in the body that leads to the appearance of orange peel tissue. Be sure to drink drinks that remove residues from your body. Green tea is irreplaceable. The demand for coffee, spirits, especially carbonated drinks should be minimized.
2. Increase muscle activity and reduce fat deposition. To get rid of the orange peel tissue that is about to form, it is recommended to ride a bicycle or do bicycle simulator exercise and swim. These active exercises can promote blood circulation, break down fat and even strengthen muscle tissue.
3. Keep correct manners, because all kinds of wrong postures will worsen lymph and blood flow, leading to stagnation, and as a result, orange peel tissue will appear.
Don't wear tight clothes and shoes, they will restrict blood circulation.
Sleeping pills and hormonal contraceptives can only be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
6. Don't forget the very simple and effective method-massage. Professional massage brush or massager will play a good role in preventing orange peel tissue. It is recommended to use a special cream to prevent orange peel tissue during or after massage, which contains ingredients that can improve metabolism: algae, dead sea salt, ivy, caffeine, vitamin A, amino acids and lipolytic yeast.
7. Daily alternating shower with hot and cold water, and massaging the problem parts with a bath brush or a hard sponge can improve blood circulation. Orange peel tissue has appeared for several years, and modern medicine has many special methods to treat orange peel tissue.
■ You may wish to use professional means.
Lymphatic drainage: with the help of special instruments, stagnant lymph is discharged from orange peel tissue, which improves tissue metabolism and accelerates toxin discharge.
Pulse therapy: a safe and effective method to destroy subcutaneous folds of fat cells and deformed skin with the help of ultrasound.
Hydrotherapy: the latest method, which makes the special gel enter the depth of adipose tissue up to 1 1 cm, and makes the blood and lymph flow normal.
Cupping therapy: Cupping therapy is aimed at orange peel tissue to stimulate the burning of deposited fat.
Pulse therapy: determine the strength and frequency of current therapy according to the diagnosis and treatment carried out by computer. Electric current can stimulate muscle tissue, and it can also promote the dissipation of subcutaneous fat.
Electrotherapy: Use special electrodes to stimulate subcutaneous fat burning. This method can promote intracellular metabolism, enhance blood circulation and destroy the typical subcutaneous folds of orange peel tissue.
Hot bandaging: Banding fever drugs (for example, iodine extracted from seaweed) with various bandages, wraps and straps, which can be combined with various massages.
Liposuction: This is the most extreme treatment method. When all the methods have been used repeatedly without any effect, you can suck fat from subcutaneous cells with the help of a special syringe. This method is very effective for selectively removing fat interlayers in individual areas, but it should be done in a formal and professional institution.
