CELLULITE
CAUSES | RISK FACTORS | TREATMENT
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 man’s skin is
thicker than a woman make cellulite more pronounced in women.

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 80–90 percent of women have some
degree of cellulite.
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.
