Are you one of the 90% of women who are affected by cellulite?

Cellulite is a serious problem for most women – particularly women over 35. It attacks the buttocks and thigh areas and is very unsightly. Myth - Only fat women suffer from cellulite. Weight gain certainly makes cellulite worse, and obese people are more prone to getting cellulite, but thin people also get it.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is made up of fatty deposits trapped in pockets just below the skin. As a result, the fat cells are squeezed into small bulges that give the skin that unsightly lumpy, dimpled or "orange peel" look.

What Causes Cellulite?

Hormonal factors - hormones likely play an important role in cellulite development. Many believe estrogen, insulin, noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin are part of the cellulite production process.

Genetics - certain genes are required for cellulite development. Genes may predispose an individual to particular characteristics associated with cellulite, such as gender, race, slow metabolism, distribution of fat just underneath the skin, and circulatory insufficiency.

Diet - people who eat too much fat, carbohydrates, or salt and too little fiber are likely to have greater amounts of cellulite.

Lifestyle factors - cellulite may be more prevalent in smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit or stand in one position for long periods of time.

Clothing - underwear with tight elastic across the buttocks (limiting blood flow) may contribute to the formation of cellulite.
