Concern
Cellulite
Cellulite is a very common, harmless change in the skin's surface that gives a dimpled appearance, most often on the thighs and buttocks. It affects people of all shapes and sizes.
While it cannot be permanently 'cured', its appearance can be improved with treatments that support skin quality and firmness.
Causes
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite occurs as fat pushes against connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled surface. Genetics, hormones, circulation and skin thickness all play a role.
