What Is Cellulite?

Almost all women have cellulite. The wrongdoers are weight gain, genetic predisposition, and inevitable hormone changes throughout life. Cellulite is a very common and unattractive dimpling of the skin. Cellulite is mainly caused by a combination of fibrous bands and superficial fat. When superficial fat sections become swollen with fat, fibrous bands bind your skin, and cause dimpling at the points where there is an attachment.

Cellulite only occurs in areas where fibrous bands are present, such as the buttocks and thighs, but it may also appear on other parts of your body. Treatments for cellulite remain largely unsuccessful because they only target the appearance of cellulite. It was finally understood that the dimpling on the surface of the skin was but a symptom of the underlying cause and to banish the bumps would require a deeply acting treatment.
