Cellulite

For many women, instead of seeing smooth, silky skin when they look at themselves, they see dimples and bumps caused by cellulite. Cellulite is a cosmetic skin condition that affects 90% of women and 10% of men. It often appears as dimples, puckers or dents and forms when the fibrous bands that connect your skin with the underlying muscle tightens irregularly. When they tighten, it causes the natural layer of fat to bulge up, forming cellulite.

What causes cellulite?

The exact cause of cellulite is unknown but many experts believe that genetics, weight loss, a sedentary or stressful lifestyle, and hormones/hormonal contraceptives could all be factors. Despite popular belief, weight loss, changing your diet and performing certain exercises are unable to reduce your cellulite.

Cellulite treatments

How to get rid of cellulite?

There are multitudes of lotions and creams that claim to cure cellulite, but unfortunately, cellulite is not a topical problem and can not be treated topically. Because it forms due to fibrous bands, the best way to tackle the problem is at its source.

Does weight loss get rid of cellulite?

Many people believe that by losing weight they can get rid of their cellulite, unfortunately it does not, and can lead to exasperation and disappointment. Losing weight can sometimes help to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but there are many problems with losing weight as a cellulite cure. It is not dependable, it is not permanent, and it does not really address the underlying factors of your cellulite. Excess fat is not the real cause of cellulite. Even the leanest of women can have cellulite. Cellulite can also worsen when you lose a lot of weight quickly, due to skin laxity.
