Noticing cellulite on the butt is incredibly common for women. Whether you call it orange-peel skin or cottage cheese, it is simply a matter of anatomy. While it is completely normal, we know that smoothing out the texture of your skin can do wonders for your confidence, especially during swimwear season.
Why the Glutes?
The buttocks and thighs are biologically designed to store energy (fat) in women. Cellulite on the butt occurs when these fat cells push against the skin while connective cords pull down.
Factors like hormonal changes, collagen breakdown, and even the amount of time we spend sitting can influence how visible these dimples become. Poor circulation in the gluteal area is often a silent contributor.
Myths About Cellulite on the Butt
Let’s debunk some common misconceptions that might be holding you back.
- Myth: Sitting causes it directly.
Fact: Sitting restricts blood flow, which can make cellulite worse or more visible over time, but it doesn’t “create” the fat cells. Movement helps! - Myth: Only cardio fixes it.
Fact: Cardio burns calories, but strength training combined with tissue stimulation (like massage) is better for shaping the area. - Myth: It vanishes overnight.
Fact: Real results take time and consistent treatment to remodel the collagen structure.
Targeting the Trouble Spots
To smooth the appearance of cellulite on the butt, you need a multi-faceted approach. The Nordenbeauty ShapePro 3.0 is designed specifically for this.
By using vacuum therapy on the glutes, you increase localized blood flow. This helps flush out stagnant fluids and encourages the production of collagen, which leads to firmer, tighter-looking skin.
Practical Tips for Results
According to medical experts at the Mayo Clinic, mechanical treatments that massage the skin are among the most effective non-invasive options.
- Use Heat: Warm the area (warm shower) before using your ShapePro device to loosen tissues.
- Direction Matters: Massage upwards and outwards towards the lymph nodes in the groin area.
- EMS Boost: Use the EMS function to stimulate the glute muscles beneath the fat for a “lifted” look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can squats get rid of cellulite on the butt?
Squats build the glute muscles, which fills out loose skin and improves shape. However, they don’t directly smooth the skin texture without help from massage or collagen stimulation.
Is the ShapePro safe for the buttocks?
Yes, the gluteal area is ideal for vacuum therapy as the muscle is large. Start with low suction and gradually increase intensity as your skin adapts.
Does wearing tight clothes cause it?
Extremely tight clothing can restrict blood flow (circulation), which is vital for healthy skin. Opt for breathable fabrics when possible.
