Cellulite

Cellulite is a rolling, lumpy appearance to the surface of the skin that most men and women consider unattractive. Individuals with Cellulite find the skin looks dimpled, similar to the outer surface of an orange. Cellulite is caused when the layer of fat under the skin increases and pushes to the outside while the fibrous bands that bind the fat to the underlying muscle push inward to keep the fat in position. The fat pushes up through these cords, causing the rippled appearance under the skin. Although cellulite is not of concern medically, it sometimes causes a loss of confidence and insecurity.
