Cellulite is a common term used to describe superficial pockets of trapped fat, which cause uneven dimpling or "orange peel" skin. It appears in 90% of adult female population and is rarely seen in men.
Although it is considered "cosmetic," it is associated with a high degree of emotional distress and lifestyle alteration for millions of women. The most common areas with cellulite are the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and "saddlebags" Although cellulite is often seen with obesity, cellulite is not related to weight because it can also be found in women with thin, lean physiques.
Despite attempts to exercise regularly and follow a well-balanced diet, the overall appearance of existing cellulite can worsen over time due to weight gain, poor nutrition,
and inadequate water intake.
