Cellulite can well be termed the bane of most women’s existence, since it is believed that almost 90% of women have a tough time dealing with cellulite. This is the non-scientific term that is used to denote a condition of the skin, in which excess fatty deposits below the skin gives it a dimpled appearance, much like cottage cheese. Cellulite is usually visible in the areas where women tend to accumulate fat, namely on the thighs, buttocks, and lower part of the torso. In certain extreme cases of obesity, cellulite may also appear on the arms, calves and even the upper portion of the torso.

The female hormone estrogen is believed to play a role in the deposit of excess fats in different parts of the female body. Skin normally is fortified by a network of collagen fibers that run through the sub-dermal and dermal layers of the skin, which give it its unique elasticity and form. When excess fat is distributed throughout the body, it can exert more pressure than the network of collagen fibers can withstand. This causes the fatty tissue known as the adipose tissue to protrude through the collagen fiber latticework. To add to this already perilous condition, the release of estrogen in a woman’s body, works with an enzyme known as ‘collagenase’ (literally meaning ‘that which breaks collagen’), slowly weakens these collagen fibers and gradually leading the wearing down of the connective collagen fibers. This in turn further allows fat to bulge outward into the outer layers of the skin, giving it that rather unpleasant looking dimpled look.

Unfortunately, very little is known regarding the exact causes for this skin condition which makes it difficult to identify a reliable mode of treatment and cure. Reducing overall body fat is one way of improving the appearance of cellulite; exercise and diet control must be replaced by surgical methods such as liposuction only in cases of localized fat deposits that refuse to go away in spite of conventional methods of fat reduction. This is because the surgery comes with its own risks, and moreover it does not remove cellulite per say since it does not change the skin structure.

Other short-term remedies that have varying degrees of success include the use of the Endermology machine – this is a tool used commonly in spas which is equipped with a roller and suction capacity in order to stimulate blood circulation in affected areas that will in turn smoothen out the bumps. Mesotherapy is another method where in painless injections are given just under the skin to break down fat cells which would again help reduce the dimpled appearance of affected skin. The use of collagenase inhibiting pills is another common practice, but its effects are more preventive than corrective. Application of topical creams and skin binding garments have had mixed responses. The best way to be however is to learn to accept this as a part of you and be content with it.
