How to Minimise Cellulite! WHAT IS CELLULITE? Cellulite is a essentially a build up of adipose tissue that sits in a different area than normal fatty tissue. This means it is more visable and often times can be painful as it sits very close to nerve endings. 1) HOW DOES IT GET THERE? Cellulite is a tricky condition with many possible factors that can cause it to appear. “It is thought that cellulite begins when an accumulation of swollen fat cells develops. The swollen fat cells press on the connective fibers that surround them. Then connective fibers bend and pull the skin downward to which they are connected. The result of these conditions is a puckered look on the surface of the skin, which we call the “dreaded” cellulite. “ In some cases it can be genetic or due to other undi- agnosed conditions.

It is true that if you gain weight, your cellulite may be more appar- ent, but diet and exercise alonedoes not seem to remedy the appearance of cellulite.
