Cellulite

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a common skin condition characterized by a dimpled or "orange peel" appearance. It often forms on the thighs, hips, and buttocks. It more commonly occurs in women due to the particular way fat, muscle, and connective tissue are distributed in their bodies.

Cellulite occurs when fat pushes up against the connective tissue, leading to a puckered skin appearance. Although it is not a serious medical condition and does not cause pain or discomfort, it does have cosmetic concerns.

What Causes Cellulite?

Several factors contribute to the formation of cellulite, including:

• Hormones
• Genetics
• Age, due to thinner skin and less elasticity
• Lifestyle, including weight gain, physical activity, and nutrition

Even though It is also worth noting that cellulite can affect individuals of any body weight. Losing weight can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite Treatment and Cellulite Removal

Fortunately, reducing cellulite appearance is safe and easy. Skin tightening treatments can reduce the appearance of cellulite. This is believed to be from the increased collagen production and tightening of existing collagen [**INTERNAL LINK**] in the skin. Some individuals use radiofrequency (RF) microneedling to further improve the appearance of cellulite.
