Cellulite
What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite refers to the dimpled or uneven appearance of skin, commonly seen on the thighs, hips and buttocks. It occurs when fat deposits push against connective tissue beneath the skin.
Cellulite is common and affects individuals of all body types. It is not solely related to weight and may occur even in those who are physically active.
Why Does Cellulite Develop?
Several factors contribute to the appearance of cellulite:
Cellulite often becomes more noticeable with age as skin support decreases.
What Should Be Targeted?
Effective cellulite treatment should focus on:
- Improving skin firmness
- Enhancing circulation
- Refining body contour
- Supporting collagen production
Surface creams alone typically do not address underlying structural causes.
