SWELLING OF THE LEGS AND THE RALETIONSHIP BETWEEN PHLEBO-LYMPHATIC STASIS AND CELLULITIS The clinical manifestation of adipose tissue commonly known as "Cellulite" may better be defined as "Fibro-sclerotic oedema of the adipose membrane" and is associated, in both aetio-pathogenic and semiological terms, with chronic venous and lymphatic stasis of the lower limbs, as clearly demonstrated by scientific studies.

It is extremely important that a correlation between clinical manifestations of phlebo-lymphatic stasis and cellulitis has been identified, since it has enabled an integrated treatment approach to both phlebo-lymphatic pathology and the blemishes associated with it.
In recent years, this has made it possible for workers in the aesthetic and phlebology field to focus on solutions for both micro-vascular causes and the aesthetic improvements required.

Symptoms in the lower limbs
The symptoms of chronic venous lymphatic stasis of a moderate nature can be summarised as follows:
- Heaviness - Oedema (especially peri-malleolar)
- Cramp (day and night) - Paraesthesia (tingling)
- Capillo-veno-ectasis (capillaries)
- Varicose veins
The specific symptoms of lipo-sclerosis or cellulitis caused by chronic venous-lymphatic stasis of the lower limbs are:
- Roughness of the skin, "orange-peel" Skin
- Abnormal softness of the skin
- "Gritty" touch
- Painful nodes (subcutaneous tubercles)
- Reduction of internal elasticity
- Increased zonal deposits
- Stretch marks
- Spontaneous pain
- Received pain
- Deposits (plaques) of cellulitis with oedema
- Deposits (plaques) of cellulitis without oedema
