Cellulite
Cellulite is the name given to a skin condition where the skin of the lower limbs, abdomen and pelvic region becomes dimpled. Cellulite is often described as orange peel syndrome and cottage cheese skin in an effort to describe its appearance.
It is more common in females than males. It is thought to be related to diet and hormones and it affects both overweight and normal weight people equally. One explanation is the composition of fat cells in women is different to men and as these fat cells expand they bulge upwards to the surface of the skin.
Cellulite varies in severity and can be made worse by today’s fashion that encourages tight elastic to be worn around the buttocks that limits blood flow that encourages cellulite to form. Some cosmetic treatments seem to be effective against cellulite.
Collagen Induction Therapy (Skin Needling) and Mesotherapy is a form of treatment to help combat cellulite.
