What is Cellulite?

CELLULITE

Often referred to as the “orange-peel” or “cottage-cheese” effect, cellulite plagues over 90% of women today.

Although most recognized for its external appearance, cellulite formation actually begins at a cellular level.  As fat cells enlarge, the cell membrane becomes distorted, losing shape and definition. Microcirculation is impaired, causing fluid retention and soft tissue toxin deposits; externally, the skin develops an unsightly and embarrassing dimpled appearance.

Although advancing age, lifestyle habits, hormonal factors, and body types may predispose certain women to cellulite and fat retention, all women are at risk.  Resistant to diet and exercise, cellulite affects even young, thin women who are devoted followers of stringent exercise and nutritional regimens.
