What Is Cellulite and How Can We Treat It?

Cellulite is a common condition that can cause uneven and lumpy skin on areas such as the hips, thighs, and buttocks. This happens when the connective tissue bands pull the skin downward to the deeper tissues overlying certain areas of fat, resulting in an uneven surface.

Cellulite is commonly found on:

• Hips
• Thighs
• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Breasts

While cellulite can be found on different parts of the body such as the abdomen, breasts, and hips, it is more prevalent in women due to differences in fat, muscle, and connective tissue distribution. It is estimated that 80 to 90 percent of women may experience cellulite in varying degrees. Although cellulite is not harmful, it can be a cosmetic concern.

Cellulite may be caused by:

• Hormones
• Poor diet
• An unhealthy lifestyle
• Accumulated toxins
• Genetics
• Weight gain
• Onactivity
• Pregnancy

Cellulite is primarily caused by a buildup of fat under the skin and can be influenced by genetic factors, body fat percentage, and age. Collagen fibers between the skin and muscle create multiple pockets for underlying fat, and as people age, their skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity, exposing the rippled connective tissues underneath. Other factors that may contribute to cellulite include hormones, poor diet, an unhealthy lifestyle, accumulated toxins, weight gain, inactivity, and pregnancy.
