What is Cellulite?

Cellulite and excess weight

Cellulite is a fat deposit under the skin that outwardly gives the skin a dimpled, or orange-peel like appearance.

Cellulite is most often seen in women because the fat is arranged in large chambers separated by columns of collagen fibers.

In overweight people, excess fat is stuffed in these compartments causing them to bulge out. On the surface of the skin, the bulging provides the dimply appearance of cellulite, especially in areas such as the hips, buttocks or thighs.

Cellulite is predetermined by genetics so even thin women can develop the appearance. Factors such as hormones, pregnancy, and ageing may all attribute to the weakening of the collagen fibers to give the cellulite appearance.
