Your Booty: The Inside Story

Butts are bootylicious—or at least they can be. There’s nothing hotter than a firm behind! But unfortunately, most of our assets are determined by genetics. Some of us inherit flat, small butts, while others have wide, round butts.

And regardless of what shape or size our backsides are, we’re all still susceptible to sagging butts. Why?

Behind the Scenes of a Sagging Butt

A sagging butt is generally caused by a lack of muscle definition in the gluteus maximus, the large muscles in the buttocks. To easily lift a sagging butt, it’s key to include some targeted exercises into your workout routine every week.

Focusing your efforts on your lower body for two or three workouts each week will help build the gluteus maximus up to a rounder, firmer shape. The easiest exercises for this are quite simple, and you can expect to start seeing improvement in the shape of your butt within the first four to six weeks of adapting your workout routine.

Excellent exercises for sagging butts include:

Squats

If you want to lift your butt, then you’ve got to do squats! While squats target all muscles in your lower body, they have a particularly high impact on your quadriceps and glutes. Body weight squats are a good place to start if you haven’t done a lot of training before. But you should give weighted barbell squats a try too. Simple weighted work is highly effective for building lean muscle mass, which is what you need to achieve in your gluteus maximus if you don’t want your butt to sag. Include squats in your workouts at least twice per week.

Deadlifts

The deadlift is one of the best exercises for developing the gluteus maximus. Deadlifts quickly start lifting your butt up into a rounder, more defined shape because your glutes are engaged for the duration of the lift. Deadlift twice a week, performing three to five sets of deadlifts, with eight to 12 repetitions per set.

Walking Lunges

Walking lunges are also highly effective in boosting up the butt. They are easy to perform, and if you want to really say goodbye to the sag, start combining squats, deadlifts and walking lunges in the same workout a few times a week.

No More Bumpy, Bulging Butts!

Another issue that plagues aging butts is cellulite. After all, if there’s one thing that’s worse than fat, it’s dimply fat. While there are many theories to the actual cause of cellulite, one point that’s not disputed: It’s really just fat.

For lots of women, fat tends to first accumulate on their butts and the backs of their thighs. But that’s just one part of the problem.

The area were fat is stored under the skin seems to have a different structure than elsewhere on the body.

The other? The area were fat is stored under the skin seems to have a different structure than elsewhere on the body. And as those fat cells increase in size, this structural abnormality begins to become visible on the surface of the skin, leaving indentations. That’s cellulite. The more those fat cells inflate, the more evident the cellulite becomes.

The upshot: Lose the fat, say goodbye to cellulite.

Here are some ways you can kick cellulite in the butt:

• You’ve got to eat a healthy diet. Eliminate processed foods altogether. That includes foods that contain sugar, like soda, baked goods, and candy, as well as highly refined products such as white bread, white pasta, and French fries. You should also eliminate alcohol consumption. What should you eat? A whole foods diet that emphasizes lean meats and fresh produce.

• Consider fast-paced circuit-training that burns tons of fat, improves cardiovascular fitness, and strengthens every muscle in the body, especially targeting the glutes and hamstrings. By strengthening the muscles of your backside, you train your glutes to switch on again.

• Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Water helps flush out toxins that hide in the fat layers beneath the skin and make cellulite lumps even more visible. Hydration also works to plump the skin and make it look less lumpy.

• Try out a massage device. Cellulite forms because fibrous connective bands between the skin and fat pull the fat to the surface, creating a rippled skin appearance. By massaging the area, you can loosen or soften those bands temporarily. Massage also helps by stimulating circulation and draining excess fluids.

Need Help with Your Backside?

If exercise and diet aren’t producing noticeable results, then you may need a little extra help getting the butt you’ve always wanted. Luckily, there are three med spa procedures that produce amazing results:

VelaShape

VelaShape is the only FDA-cleared body contouring device. It effectively and safely contours, shapes and slims the body by reducing cellulite and firming problem areas — all in as little as four treatments.

With VelaShape you can expect excellence.

The infrared light and radiofrequency energies allow VelaShape to precisely heat dermal and hypodermal tissue in the treatment area.

That’s because VelaShape boasts four different components – radiofrequency, infrared light, vacuum suction and mechanical massage. The infrared light and radiofrequency energies allow VelaShape to precisely heat dermal and hypodermal tissue in the treatment area. This heating effect boosts fat cell metabolism and reduces the number and size of fat cells, thereby eliminating cellulite. At the same time, VelaShape’s mechanical massage rollers gently knead the area, increasing circulation, encouraging lymphatic drainage and eliminating fat cell byproducts and toxins. Finally, the vacuum suction technology smooths out dimples by stretching fibrous bands in the epidermis, reducing the appearance of cellulite. The end result of these high-tech applications is a significant reduction in body circumference and cellulite, and smoother, firmer skin.

VelaShape is especially effective on the buttocks area, helping to tone, shape, and lift the butt. It also noticeably reduces cellulite on the behind. Most people notice exciting results after just one treatment, including tighter, firmer and smoother behind. After six treatments, people see a significant reduction in cellulite. In fact, in clinical trials, patients’ cellulite was reduced by up to 63%.

Thermage

Thermage is clinically-proven, unique radiofrequency treatment that can firm and lift butts. Best of all, only one treatment is needed, and results last up to ten years!

Thermage works from the inside out. It transfers heat to the epidermis, which not only encourages collagen production, but also tightens existing collagen.

Thermage often seems to work magic, but the science behind it is simple. Thermage works from the inside out. It transfers heat to the epidermis, which not only encourages collagen production, but also tightens existing collagen. Thermage effects this partly through radio frequency technology, which produces electrical currents that causes collagen within the skin to contract and gradually reform. This is why most individuals experience dramatic tightening and smoothing of the skin over the six months following treatment. Since the outer layers of the skin are unaffected, there is almost no recovery time involved.

You’ll need only one Thermage treatment to reap all the benefits of its innovative technology. During the several months following treatment, you’ll see dramatically tighter, firmer and smoother skin on your buttocks.

Zerona

Zerona is a cutting-edge body contouring procedure that effectively removes excess fat without any negative side effects. It emulsifies fat, enabling patients to lose inches from their waist, hips, thighs, and most importantly, the buttocks.

the cold laser technology’s low-level laser stimulation exclusively releases the cellular contents of fat cells while leaving the capillaries and other cells within the interstitial space intact

How does Zerona work? Zerona utilizes cold laser technology, which emulsifies fat and allows it to move to interstitial space. More specifically, the cold laser technology’s low-level laser stimulation exclusively releases the cellular contents of fat cells while leaving the capillaries and other cells within the interstitial space intact. By disrupting the cell’s membrane, the cell then releases its fat contents. Once the fat contents are released, the body’s lymphatic system absorbs it. Basically, Zerona procedures cause fat cells to shrink, resulting in a loss of inches on areas such as the buttocks.

Zerona treatments are so effective that most patients experience an average loss of 3.64 inches on their waist, hips, buttocks and thighs in a matter of weeks. Some patients even witness a nine inch circumferential reduction after their first series of treatments, and results can be seen in as little as fourteen days.
