Cellulite or stretch marks? 🤔 How to treat?

Hi again!! 👋 Back to talk more about my favourite topic - 👩🏻‍🏫 stretch mark education. I often get asked if Butterkynd S1 Stretch Mark Cream can also be used on cellulite. Well, the answer is NO because stretch marks and cellulite are 2 completely different conditions…to me, cellulite are kinda like oranges, while stretch marks are more like ripped jeans.

🍊 CELLULITE

Sometimes called “cottage cheese”, this is a condition that causes your skin to look lumpy, dimpled and uneven. Contrary to popular belief, skinny people can also have cellulite! It is a common result of skinny fat syndrome - women who have a high body fat percentage despite being in the “acceptable” BMI range. It can also be caused by inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle - sitting for hours can affect blood circulation which contributes to the development of cellulite. This is why cellulite often occurs on your butt and thighs.

🧡 SOLUTIONS TO CELLULITE: Consistent exercise, Radiofrequency devices, Subcision and Sculptra (for more severe cases)

👖 STRETCH MARKS

Like jeans, skin can get overstretched. When your body is unable to keep up with collagen production (to accomodate the expanding skin), your existing collagen can tear…leading to stretch marks. Collagen is the protein that makes your skin more elastic and if your skin doesn’t have enough, marks can show up! Stretch marks are usually red or purple at first because they contain small blood vessels that have been damaged by the stretching of the skin. It is usually caused by rapid weight gain and loss, puberty and hormonal changes.

💙 SOLUTIONS TO STRETCH MARKS: Laser treatment, Microneedling and Topical creams like ✨ Butterkynd S1 Stretch Mark Cream ✨ which is available on Shopee!
