What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is skin texture changes that result in an “orange peel” or “mattress” appearance to the skin. Cellulite is much more common in women. Studies show that 85% to 98% of women have some cellulite.

Men and women organize their fat differently. In men, the connective tissue fibers that organize and support fat run primarily parallel to the skin. This means that men have minimal pulling down of the skin by fat deposits, and therefore smoother skin. Unfortunately for women, their fat is organized perpendicular to the skin. This results in a pulling down of the skin by the connective tissue support structure and an uneven surface.

Cellulite is a normal process in women. For many years medical science was not interested in treating it. Only in the past few years have any studies been done to identify the cause of cellulite.

All fat is not cellulite, only the part in the superficial layer. The superficial layer is the last area to be affected by weight loss. Therefore, exercise and weight loss do not eliminate cellulite. Even women who exercise regularly and follow low-fat, nutritious diets may still have cellulite. This makes weight management and cellulite treatment completely different issues.

What are the Causes of Cellulite?
Until recently, very few studies had looked at the cause of cellulite. As a result, theories abounded but answers were few. Recent studies have revealed two major causes of cellulite. The first is a hardening of the connective tissue support system of fat. These are referred to as connective (fibrous) septae and are made of collagen.

Over time, these septae harden and contract. The contraction results in most of the dimpled appearance that characterizes cellulite. Additionally, the contraction leads to a blockage of the blood vessels and lymphatics. The blood vessel blockage further hardens the septae. The lymphatic blockage leads to thick, swollen appearing skin.

The second major cause of cellulite is protrusion of fat cells into the lower part of the skin known as the “reticular dermis”. This protrusion results in worsening of the dimpling.

Treatments for cellulite need to address both of these issues in order to have really good results. Until recently, no treatments were available to address either issue effectively, much less both.
