Cellulite

Cellulite manifests as an alteration of the subcutaneous tissue that makes the skin irregular, with the typical “orange peel” appearance. It can appear mainly on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen and, depending on the stage, may be visible only by compressing the skin or even at rest.

Water retention is an accumulation of fluids in the tissues due to a slowing of microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. Cellulite, on the other hand, is a more complex imperfection involving microcirculation, adipose tissue, and connective fibers. The two conditions are often related: water retention can favor or accentuate the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite and localized fat are not the same thing. Cellulite is an imperfection that involves microcirculation, adipose tissue, and connective tissue, manifesting with the typical "orange peel" appearance. Localized fat, on the other hand, is an accumulation of fat concentrated in specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, buttocks, or inner thighs, without cellulite necessarily being present.

Despite having different origins, cellulite and fat can coexist and benefit from complementary cosmetic skincare. For the treatment of localized fat, Rhea products like ShapeOil, the metabolic remodeling mousse oil, and SleepSlim, the overnight remodeling wrap, help to improve the appearance of areas with fatty accumulations and make the silhouette visibly more defined. When bloating and fluid stagnation are also present, they can be associated with Rhea line draining treatments for an even more complete cosmetic action.

Cellulite can depend on several factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, sedentary lifestyle, unbalanced diet, stress, and slowing of microcirculation. Smoking, poor hydration, and long periods spent standing or sitting can also contribute to worsening its appearance.

Cellulite is a multifactorial imperfection and cannot be permanently eliminated with a single cosmetic treatment. However, a consistent routine that combines an active lifestyle, a balanced diet, and targeted cosmetics can contribute to visibly improving its appearance, making the skin more uniform and compact.

To counter cellulite, it is important to act on several fronts: favor fluid drainage, stimulate microcirculation, and improve skin tone. The Rhea routine can start from exfoliation with ExfoGel, to prepare the skin for subsequent treatments, and then continue with specific remodeling products like CloudSlim or 2Slim, formulated to improve skin texture and reduce the orange peel appearance, or ShapeOil, which activates skin metabolism to remodel body shapes and minimize the appearance of cellulite.

The choice depends on the skin's needs and individual tastes in terms of texture. 2Slim is ideal for those who want a daily, fast-absorbing treatment with remodeling action; CloudSlim is indicated for those who prefer a soft and sensory texture, with a targeted action on skin compactness and uniformity. Initially, it is a fresh and velvety mousse, then it starts to warm up, developing a diffused heat that stimulates circulation, encourages fat disposal, and favors the penetration of active ingredients.
