Cellulite and methods of objective analysis: where to stop?

Professional cosmetology uses the principles of evidence both in determining skin problems and in evaluating the effectiveness of performed procedures and care programs. Let's talk about the methods of diagnosing cellulite.

The method is non-specific. Microcirculation of the skin depends on a number of external (weather conditions) and internal (diseases accompanied by microcirculation) factors that are not related to the manifestations of cellulite.
