CURRI IS GOOD FOR CELLULITE
March 24th, 2009A French physician called Balfour first documented the occurrence of pitted skin in 1816.
In 1929 another French physician, P Lageze, discovered that cellulite comes in stages – first tissues in the thighs, buttocks, knees, abdomen, and upper arms, then fibrous formations develop which eventually create the dippled effect.
Then in 1966 two Spanish dermatologists confirmed that watery fluid does indeed accumulate in the tissue. It was agreed that this was a specific type of fat.
But it was not until the 1970s that the whole of the medical world began to stand up and take notice, when Professor Sergio Curri, an Italian pathologist compared cellulite cells to other fat cells and discovered that they differed biochemically. And the difference was that the connective tissue between them was weaker than in normal fat cells. This meant they allowed plasma to leak into the spaces between the fat cells, causing the tissues to stretch with poor circulation.
Once this happens, the layers of fat start to bulge and the skin gets the ‘orange peel’ look.
Today’s cellulite reduction products and programs are mostly predicated on Curri’s findings.
Cellulite is not organ, it’s not bone and it’s not muscle tissue. It’s a difficult type of fat.
