Do you have skin that appears lumpy or dimpled?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is cellulite. It\u2019s a very common condition, especially with women. Over 80% of women post-puberty will have it. That\u2019s in contrast to 10% of men.<\/p>\n

It is a very interesting phenomenon. Let\u2019s find out why it happens\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

What Causes It?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cellulite is simply visible fat. The more visible the fat the more cellulite you have.<\/p>\n

So, the following can increase the appearance of the fat below the skin:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Having more fat in the first place<\/li>\n
  2. Distribution of the fat- the distribution is more visible on women than men<\/li>\n
  3. Thin & loose skin- this is why cellulite increases with age. Thicker skin hides the rippled connective tissues underneath more effectively. When the skin loses elasticity the fat below becomes visible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Fascinating right!<\/p>\n

    So, all we need to do to treat it is reduce fat and\/ or change the skin characteristics. More on that later!<\/p>\n

    Cellulite is usually found half-way down our bodies- on our thighs, hips, buttocks and abs. It can also be found on the breasts.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t worry, it is not harmful. However, it can be a symptom of an unhealthy lifestyle. Genetics and pregnancy can also play a role.<\/p>\n

    Cellulite Treatment Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    So, can we get rid of cellulite?<\/p>\n

    Some people don\u2019t like its appearance and wish to remove it.<\/p>\n

    It can\u2019t be irradicated completely but the appearance can be significantly improved.<\/p>\n

    Diet and exercise is important. However, many find there is still some stubborn fat that refuses to budge.<\/p>\n

    Some common treatment options include:<\/p>\n
