What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a term that describes the appearance of bumpy looking skin. It is caused by bulging fat cells just under the skin. The fat cells size and position causes the collagen fibers around them to bend causing puckering of the skin above.

There are three layers of fat found in the body. Cellulite is located in the layer of fat closest to the skin. There fat cells are enclosed in pockets formed by collagen fibers. Sometimes the fat cells squeeze on the connective tissues (collagen fibers) and there is little room for the lymphatic drainage system to relieve this build-up of fluids, fats, and toxins. Fat in this layer does not respond well to diet or exercise. The appearance of this layer is affected by weight much either as cellulite can appear in very slim people.

The next two layers of fat are not structured. The fat cells are not separated by connective tissue. The big difference is that the fat in these layers is more also easily influenced by lifestyle and dietary changes.

Caucasian women are the most prone to cellulite. 90 % of women suffer from cellulite to some extent at some point in their life.

Why do we get Cellulite?

There are a number of factors which contribute to cellulite. These include genetics, hormones, stress, smoking, inactive lifestyle and obesity. These factors influence how your body's circulation and lymph systems work. Any restrictions or impairments to these systems allow fat cells to grow in size and become trapped resulting in an uneven distribution of fat - Cellulite!

Why do people care about having cellulite?

In the competitive world we live in, how we look and feel about ourselves can sometimes dictate important aspects of life.

Cellulite can affect people's confidence and as a knock on affect interfere with personal friendships, how people dress and prevent people from activities such as swimming.
