2
Introduction to Cellulite
  • Cellulite is a condition where the skin has
    a dimpled appearance due to more than normal fat
    accumulation beneath the skin. It is also known
    as 'orange peel syndrome' or 'cottage cheese
    skin'. Cellulite is more common in females than
    males. One of the primary reasons is that women
    have a higher percentage of body fat than men
    which is mainly stored in the hips and thighs. In
    men, fat is mostly stored in the abdomen. These
    reasons along with the fact that a mans skin is
    thicker than a woman make cellulite more
    pronounced in women.

Symptoms of Cellulite
  • pain and tenderness in the affected area
  • redness or inflammation of your skin
  • a skin sore or rash that appears and grows
    quickly
  • a tight, glossy, swollen appearance of the skin
  • a feeling of warmth in the affected area
  • a central area that has an abscess with pus
    formation
  • a fever

Causes of Cellulite 
  • Besides an enlargement or overgrowth of fat
    cells, other reasons for cellulite are
  • Reduced microcirculation
  • Edema
  • Oxidative stress
  • Low grade inflammation
  • Changes in the extracellular matrix
  • Abnormality in the elasticity and resilience of
    the skin

5
Risk Factors of Cellulite
  • Women are more likely to develop cellulite than
    men on account of having more fat around their
    thighs, hips and buttocks
  • Loss of skin elasticity due to ageing
  • Heredity
  • Cellulite can affect lean and heavy people but
    its prominent in fat people
  • Stress
  • Hormone Imbalance
  • Distribution of subcutaneous fat

6
Treatment of Cellulite
  • Laser Treatment
  • Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT)
  • Cellulite Creams
  • Liposuction
  • Radiofrequency

Diagnosis of Cellulite
  • There are diagnostic tests available (e.g.,
    ultrasound) that can detect the presence of
    cellulite and determine the extent of the
    condition however, these tests are usually
    unnecessary. Cellulite can be diagnosed by
    pinching or rolling the skin in the affected
    area.
  • Although, the appearance of cellulite can be
    distressing and affect self esteem, the condition
    does not cause medical problems. In fact, some
    medical professionals consider cellulite to be a
    normal condition, especially in women. More than
    8090 percent of women have some degree of
    cellulite.

8
Preventions of Cellulite
  • Eating healthy, low fat foods such as fruits,
    vegetables, and fiber can help one to avoid
    cellulite. Similarly exercising regularly,
    maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing stress
    are recommended to prevent cellulite.
  • In addition wearing thongs, boyshorts, or looser
    fitting undergarments can prevent cellulite that
    might form due to tight elastic.
