Cellulite is a term used to refer to the dimpled appearance of skin that can develop on the arms, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Fat deposits cause a distortion of connective tissue beneath the skin which leads to the dimpled appearance of cellulite. Cellulite is much more common in women than men because of the different way fat, muscle, and connective tissue are organised in female skin. Lack of physical activity and genetic predisposition can cause the development of cellulite as well dietary choices and smoking.
Cellulite can cause feelings of embarrassment and have a negative impact on body confidence.
To help reduce the appearance of cellulite taking measures such as maintaining a healthy weight, smoking cessation, eating a balanced diet and regular physical activity can all help.
