Cellulite is an aesthetically non - pathological concern that affects more than 85% of females and a minority of males and is not limited to a particular race. In females, cellulite is identified during the post puberty stages of development due to the structural changes the body undergoes and at this point of time can have effects on the individuals self esteem and self consciousness.
Cellulite can develop often seen in areas of the upper limbs, abdominal and gluteal regions, and in some cases on the upper arms and is due to poor circulation that in time leads to accumulation of fluid and decreased removal of toxins. Cellulite has variably been attributed to structural, circulatory, inflammatory and hormonal factors. Genetics, stress, poor diet and exercise and hormonal conditions all contribute to the development of this structural disorder.
General terms commonly used to describe the appearance of cellulite is the ‘orange peel, mattress-like, dimpling or cottage cheese affect’ and this can vary in the degree of presence upon each individual.
The displeasing dimpling effect that is visible on an individual with cellulite can be characterized by interstitial edema, secondary connective tissue fibrosis, and by a metabolic abnormality affecting the subcutaneous tissue and the structural changes in the dermis. The anatomy of subcutaneous tissue includes a duo of layers divided by loose areolar tissue and is complex as the structure is usually present with excess subcutaneous fat, the microcirculatory system, the lymphatic system as well as extracellular matrix. It is shown that cellulite is made up of four phases of degeneration and will be further explained.
The first phase occurrence of cellulite predominantly lies in the cell...

In conclusion, based on the anatomic variances that range from particular body sites and the difference in structures that make up the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, the severity of cellulite present is altered amongst those with cellulite. The efficacy of Endermologie for the reduction of cellulite has been observed as an effective method for fat mobilization and body sculpting. This modality restructures the sub-dermal
connective tissue, stimulates blood and lymph circulation and facilitates the
elimination of toxins. It is unparalleled in the ability this method has to remove cellulite without
surgical intervention or medication.
To begin we will look at the integumentary system and its entire multitude of functions. The main components of the integumentary system are the skin, hair, nails, glands and nerves. For the purpose of this paper we will focus mainly on the levels of the skin and their functions. While the integumentary

When microdermabrasion removes the outer layer of skin the body then goes into a healing mode that promotes the making of new healthier cells. Microdermabrasion is like when one sustains an injury to his skin and the body sends treatment molecules to heal the damage. Mariane Fernandes conducted an experiment with the aim to evaluate the effects of microdermabrasion on skin rejuvenation. Fernandes stated in her article “Effects of microdermabrasion on skin rejuvenation” in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy that “Microdermabrasion treatment promoted skin rejuvenation through an increase in skin thickness due to an increase in epidermal thickness and collagen organization” (Fernandes 26). Acne weakens and thins the skin epidermal layers, causing acne scars. Microdermabrasion heals the weak, thin, and fragile skin, which makes the skin smooth and more resistant to other damaging conditions. Doctor Bruce M. Freedman an aesthetic plastic surgeon and assistant professor of plastic surgery at Georgetown University also analyzed the dermatological changes associated with microdermabrasion in “Clinical and histologic changes determine optimal treatment regimens for microdermabrasion” in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment. Freedman’s experiment also yielded results of an increase of epidermal thickness
This module of study has focused on many aspects of human health, anatomy, and the disease process. It has included such topics as the human organ systems, the mechanism of disease and the resulting disruption of homeostasis, the integumentary system, and the musculoskeletal system. The following case studies explore how burn classification will affect treatment, how joint injuries can disrupt mobility, and last, how a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to a decline in a person’s health status. The importance of understanding disease and knowing when to seek treatment is the first step toward enjoying a balanced and healthy life.
It is much thicker than the epidermis and contains collagen, reticular and elastic fibers, and is vascular. The area where the dermis meets the epidermis is unique in that the epidermis contains ridges at the stratum basale layer which interlocks with the dermal papillae, which are upward projections, like waves, on the uppermost surface of the dermis. The dermis had two sublayers. The papillary layer is in the dermal papillae and near it and is made up of areolar tissue. The reticular layer is dense irregular connective tissue that is found at the basal end of the dermis and contains collagen and adipose
It’s a “nonlesion” syndrome , exhibit no clinically detectable lesions, although symptoms of pain and burning can be intense. This is particularly frustrating problem for both patient and clinician, because there is usually no clear cut cause and no uniformly successful treatment is present.
Genetic mutation is the main reason of why Ichtyosis Vulgaris happens to the skin of many people. It is when the mutated gene causes an irregularity in the normal lifecycle of the skin. You have cells that are produced at normal rate, but they do not discrete correctly at the surface of the stratum corneum (top layer of skin) and not shed as quickly as they are supposed to. In most people, the growth, dying, and shedding of skin happens without being detected , people with Ichtyosis Vulgaris create new skin cells at a faster rate than they can actually shed it, or even attempt to replicate at a normal rate. When that is happening there is just one huge buildup of dry skin. The mutated gene in Ichtyosis Vulgaris is located on chromosome Iq21 and is rela...

“Basal cell carcinoma is an uncontrolled, abnormal growths or lesions that arise in the skins basal cells, which line the deepest layer of the epidermis.” (Phillip, 2011) Basal cell carcinoma often times resembles open sores, red patches, shiny bumps or scars. Majority of basal cell carcinoma cases occur on parts of the body such as the face, ears, neck, scalp, shoulders and back that are excessively exposed to the sun.
When I started studying health and nutrition in September 2014, my goals were, to find out the proper foods that a person should consume to lose weight and to find out what type of workouts burn the most fat. In October, 2014, I volunteered to become a fitness instructor at a Herbalife fit camp, where I helped lead out workouts for my local community. My objective was to help out the personal trainers that ran the camp wherever they needed the help at and to learn more about the proper nutrition choices that they offered to the community.

It is important to be physically active and have healthy nutritional choices because it helps with efficient circulation, your body's digestive system, and bodily strength. If individuals do not account for fitness and healthy lifestyle choices in their routine of daily life, there could be possible consequences that arise, such as the possibility of obesity or high blood pressure. Maintaining fitness, and fitness in general, is an vital part of achieving a healthy life. Although this is the case, over the years, society has manipulated it and caused people to believe that if they are not fit, then they are not
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important today than past years. With the development and improvement of myriad medicines, along with food additives and genetically engineered food it is not surprising that people need to care more for their bodies. At the same time, it has become more common for these people to understand the many components that create a strong body, and the factors that lead to health and wellness. There has been much research that indicated the several benefits obtained in people 's daily life, by incorporating the three factors that define health and wellness. These three factors include physical fitness, nutritional health, and mental health.
Cellulites is another dry skin condition, where the skin layers are inflamed due to a bacterial infection. It is best to take care of dry skin as soon as you know you have it, rather than allow more serious complications to develop.
