Cellulite is quite possibly the most frustrating issue women face physically.

It can be quite challenging fighting an issue when you don’t completely understand it in the first place.

Let’s get into some of the technical aspects and causes of cellulite itself.

What is Cellulite?

Note: Cellulite is also known as: orange peel syndrome, adiposis edematosa, dermopanniculosis deformans, status protrusus cutis, and gynoid lipodystrophy.

From the :

Cellulite is caused by fibrous connective cords that tether the skin to the underlying muscle, with the fat lying between. As fat cells accumulate, they push up against the skin, while the long, tough cords pull down. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling.

Cellulite can begin to affect women in their 20’s, although as woman post-puberty is likely to develop

As women age, cellulite will begin to get worse.

Estrogen decreases, which also leads to decreased blood circulation. This is turn affects nutrition and oxygen, both in a negative way. The result is less collagen production. Simultaneously, fat cells are growing.

These fat cells poke through the thinned out collagen of the skin, leading to the visual appearance of cellulite in the form of dimpled, lumpy looking skin.

What Causes Cellulite?

This is the million dollar question.

As widespread as cellulite is, there remains no consensus about what causes cellulite. Most agree that cellulite is caused by multiple factors.

Each woman is different and thus faces a higher or lower chance of developing cellulite based on the factors below:

• Hormonal changes
• Genetics
• Diet
• Lifestyle
• Clothing
• Metabolism

The science is shaky too  – there is no overwhelming scientific evidence that can point to the exact cause of cellulite. 

Thankfully, most of the above factors can be controlled and improved (only aging and genetics predisposition cannot be influenced).

As we move along, our team will be looking at the available research to attempt to piece together ways to limit and improve your cellulite.
