The difference between stretch marks and cellulite

Stretch marks and cellulite are both common lines on the skin. Many people don’t know much about these two types of lines. In fact, they are two different lines. First of all, the causes of stretch marks and cellulite are different. The main cause of cellulite is excessive fat accumulation, while stretch marks are closely related to losing weight in a short period of time. This is because the elastic fibers are broken due to excessive stretching.

The difference between stretch marks and cellulite

First, the causes are different. The reason for the formation of cellulite is excessive fat accumulation in the body. When too much fat accumulates in the body, it will compress the subcutaneous circulation, causing body fluids and sugars to start running out of the blood vessels or lymphatic vessels. When the situation becomes more and more serious, fibrous networks, fat globules, etc. will appear, and then invade the dermis of the skin, resulting in an uneven skin surface. The reason for the formation of stretch marks is that when people gain weight and then lose weight in a short period of time, the elastic fibers under the skin are overstretched or even broken, resulting in irregular wavy lines.

Second, the people who grow these two types of lines are different. Cellulite lines mainly appear on women, and the main parts are on women's buttocks, legs and arms. Due to hormones and other reasons, men's skin is relatively thick, so they are generally not troubled by cellulite lines. However, stretch marks are different. Anyone who loses weight rapidly in a short period of time will develop stretch marks.

Third, the method of eliminating cellulite lines with different stubbornness is very simple. You can easily eliminate them as long as you have relatively regular exercise. However, stretch marks are very stubborn. Once formed, the color will only change from dark to light, but there is basically no hope of completely eliminating them. Therefore, friends who are worried about stretch marks must do a good job of prevention. When losing weight, you should choose a combination of exercise and diet, and then slowly lose weight at a reasonable pace. The above is the relevant content about the difference between cellulite and stretch marks. I believe that through the above differences, everyone can easily distinguish between cellulite and stretch marks. Therefore, it is recommended that when you find some lines on your body that you don’t know about, first distinguish the cause, and then choose the appropriate method to help yourself get rid of it.
