Cellulite: What Is Cellulite?

What Is Cellulite?


Cellulite is the dimpled appearance that forms on the thighs and buttocks of most of the women, as they age. Though most women carry their excess fat in thighs and buttocks, cellulite does not depend on weight. You need not be overweight to get cellulite. Cellulite is more a problem of aging. It is something similar to wrinkles that form on the face as you age. Cellulite forms due to less collagen and elastin in your skin. Hormones play a major role in cellulite formation because men don't show cellulite.

The fat inside the cellulite is same as the fat in other parts of the body. There is no difference in the fat. So it is not a problem of any difference in fat. It is more a problem of how the fat is placed inside the body, below the skin in thighs and buttocks.
