Cellulite is a condition where fat deposits push up the connective tissue under the skin. Cellulite often appears in the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks. Further, cellulite is usually characterized by the appearance of skin that looks wrinkled.
What's Cellulite?
Often equated with stretch marks, cellulite is a common skin condition that often comes across. This condition is harmless, but cellulite makes the surface of the skin look wrinkled, indented, or looks dimpled in the thighs, hips, buttocks, and stomach. According to research, women experience more cellulite than men because it lies in differences in the distribution of fat, muscle, and connective tissue. It is estimated that 80 to 90 percent of women experience cellulite in some degree of variation.
The Causes of Cellulite
In general, cellulite involves the fibrous bands that connect the skin to the underlying muscles, as well as the fat that surrounds it. As fat cells accumulate, they push and pull the skin and connective tissue down. This is what creates an uneven and bumpy skin surface.
Another reason, cellulite is caused by reduced and lost collagen fibers between the skin and muscles that separate the fat underneath into several pockets. Cellulite can become more visible with age as the skin becomes thinner and loses its elasticity. This is what shows the corrugated connective tissue.
Moreover, cellulite can be triggered by:
Hormone
Bad diet
Unhealthy lifestyle
Genetics
Weight gain
Pregnancy
Cellulite Risk Factors
It has already been mentioned that cellulite is more common in women than men. In fact, most women develop cellulite after puberty; because women's fat is typically distributed in the thighs, hips, and buttocks — common areas for cellulite to appear. In addition, cellulite is also more common with aging, when the skin loses its elasticity. Besides, weight gain can make cellulite more noticeable, but some thin people may also have cellulite due to genetics reasons. Thus, it shows that everyone has an equal chance of developing cellulite since genetics play a significant role in developing cellulite.
Further, a sedentary can also increase the chances of developing cellulite, and thus of pregnancy women.
Treatment for Cellulite
Similar to the stretch mark treatments discussed earlier, here are some recommendations for cellulite treatments that can be done at IORA Clinic:
