What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite is the term used to describe a change in skin appearance. The change is seen as lumps and bumps and dimple formation making an uneven skin surface especially around the buttocks and thigh area. It has a higher prevalence in females. It’s been said that almost 80% of women experience some degrees of cellulite but it is not a harmful condition or disease.

Cellulite is normally categorised into 4 grades. The grades are important as several studies have shown patients can normally be improved by 1 grade.

What Causes Cellulite?

Even though the cause is not yet clear there has been theories and studies suggesting the role of hormones, genetics, diet and lifestyle.

The main mechanism causing this change in skin appearance is believed to be a result of growing fat cells protruding the connective tissue (causing bumps) while the skin is being tightly bound to the underlying dermal layer by fibrotic bands.

Hormones such as insulin, estrogen and prolactin are involved in cellulite formation by their effect on metabolism and fat production

Genetic factors can be linked to cellulite formation by affecting one’s metabolism rate, fat distribution under skin and circulation level

People with a diet high in fat, carbs, salt and low fibre are more likely to have cellulite or show a higher grade.

The grades of Cellulite:

1. No Dimping even with pressure applied

2. Dimpling when pressure is applied

3. Dimpling visible while standing but not laying down

4. Dimpling visible when laying down
