Cellulite
Treatment Options
Cellulite is a condition in which the skin appears to have areas with underlying fat deposits, giving it a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It is most noticeable on the buttocks and thighs and usually occurs after puberty. An estimated 90 percent of women and smaller portion of men suffer from cellulite.
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite is a condition where the fat layer pushes outward against the rigid structures that reside within the skin. This produces that telltale bumpy appearance that cellulite is known for and makes it a difficult condition to treat using conventional methods.
While cellulite tends to predominantly affect women, it can affect men as well. People who are overweight tend to acquire cellulite more easily, but people with a healthy weight can have this condition.
The exact cause of cellulite is not known. Some people believe diet, metabolic issues, hormones, dehydration or even genetics can contribute to the occurrence of cellulite. The one thing that is known about cellulite is how it works. By addressing the underlying layers of fat and collagen in the skin, it can successfully be treated.
