Cellulite

Cellulite
Cellulite can often be described as a regional metabolic disorder that inflames the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue in the thighs, hips and abdomen, and makes it into an indented shape like an orange peel appearance. Orange peel tissue is formed as a result of the accumulation and expansion of adipose tissue under the skin and the stretching of the skin by stretching the bands called septa and stretching perpendicular to the skin surface.  While the expanding fat cells create small swellings, the tight septa shrink the adipose tissue, causing dimples and a rough shape appears there. It is referred to by different names in the medical literature such as edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy, gynoid lipodystrophy or adipose edema.
What causes cellulite?
Although the exact cause of cellulite is not known, it is formed by the interaction between the subcutaneous ligament and the fat layer. Causes of cellulite include hormonal and genetic factors, weight gain or loss, unhealthy irregular diet, sedentary lifestyle or smoking. It is known that tight clothes and sitting for too long will increase the formation of cellulite. It can occur in healthy women as well as with a healthy diet and exercise.  More than 80% of women develop cellulite at some part of their lives. As the skin gets thinner, its incidence increases. It is known that it develops more frequently in fair-skinned women. Men are less at risk. With weight gain, cellulite becomes evident, but thin people can also have cellulite. An inactive sedentary life and pregnancy can increase the risk of cellulite.  Cellulite is not a serious health problem Individuals with concerns about cellulite and their skin appearance are advised to consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon
