Cellulite, the “orange peel” appearance as it is likened, is a common skin condition that affects almost 90% of women regardless of body weight or age.
But what is cellulite?
It is a condition in which the skin in some areas appears slightly uneven and dimpled. It is caused by changes in the structure of fat cells and connective tissues located under the surface of the skin. These changes lead to an increase in the size of the fat cells, which “push” the connective tissue under the skin outward.
While cellulite is more common in women due to the distribution of fat, muscle, and connective tissue, it can also affect men.
Types of cellulite:
Understanding the different types is essential for choosing the most effective treatment. It is mainly categorized into four types:
Fatty cellulite: Often looks like a soft, movable mass under the skin and may not be as visible when you stand as when you sit or when you press on your skin. It is usually associated with excess fat accumulation and can affect both thin and overweight people.
Edematous cellulite: Characterized by a soft, fluid texture. It is often associated with poor circulation and fluid retention. It is usually a significant challenge due to the swelling and tendency to spread to larger areas.
Fibrous cellulite: The most persistent form as it appears intense creating dimples, resembling orange peel. This type is deeply embedded in the skin and is sometimes accompanied by slight discomfort when touched.
Nodular cellulite: In this type, fat cells gather in larger, compact lobules, even causing intense pain.
