Understanding Cellulite: Causes and Treatment Options
Cellulite is a common condition affecting most people at some point. It isn’t linked to body weight but rather to the health of fat cells, causing a dimpled, lumpy appearance typically on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. This occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, leading to an uneven texture.
The skin consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and a subcutaneous fat layer. Connective tissues hold these layers together, and healthy skin is firm and flexible with collagen, elastin, and small fat cells in the subcutaneous layer. When fat cells enlarge, they push toward the skin’s surface, and if connective tissues are weakened, they cause dimpling. Poor circulation, often due to inactivity or prolonged sitting, is a common trigger.
Factors Affecting Cellulite
- Genetics
- Hormonal Changes
- Diet and Physical Activity
- Aging
- Smoking
- Poor Circulation (Areas prone to cellulite often feel cool to the touch due to limited blood flow)
Types of Cellulite
- Soft Cellulite: Soft, pliable, commonly seen on larger areas and in those prone to weight gain.
- Hard Cellulite: Firmer, less visible unless pressure is applied; found in individuals with lower body fat and good muscle tone.
- Oedematous Cellulite: Related to poor circulation and fluid retention; may appear swollen and can be painful.
