Cellulite

Cellulite is a common cosmetic condition that occurs in most women in variable degrees where the skin on the body becomes dimpled.

The causes of cellulite are poorly understood and may involve changes in metabolism and physiology such as gender specific skin structure, alteration of connective tissue, and hormonal factors. There is a genetic element in individual susceptibility to cellulite. Several predisposing factors have been shown to affect the development of cellulite. Race, gender, distribution of fat, and lymphatic and circulatory insufficiency have all been shown to contribute. Dieting and exercise have shown to have variable effects on improving or worsening the appearance of cellulite. Although there is no cure for cellulite there are treatments that minimize its appearance.
