Cellulite is a fat accumulation beneath the skin. The most noticeable sign is lumpy, dimpled skin on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen.

Fact 1

It appears on uneven skin1, the thighs, hips, buttocks, and other areas.

Fact 2

It is caused by fat cells pushing up against the skin, while being pulled down by fibrous cords that bind the skin to the underlying muscle.

Fact 3

Hormonal factors, weight, genetics, and skin structure, texture and body type are the major factors responsible for the development of cellulite.

Fact 4

While it is harmless, cellulite cannot be addressed through diet, exercise, creams or medication.
