Cellulite is fat found beneath the surface of the skin that’s bulging out through the strands of connective tissue. Less noticeable when we are young due to the fact that the connective tissue, which is made up mostly of collagen, holds the fat in but as we age and collagen production decreases, the fat begins to be more noticeable.
According to scientific studies, nearly 90 per cent of women develops the condition throughout the course of their life, some suffering as soon as their late teen years. While women are more susceptible to cellulite, men too can find themselves harbouring the dreaded fatty deposits in areas such as the stomach, upper arms, thighs and buttocks.
For women, the risk of developing cellulite increases with age with its highest around menopause. Hormonal changes, such as a decline in oestrogen levels, may contribute to changes in circulation and a reduction in the production of collagen. A combination of fat cells becoming larger or increasing in number, a thinner collagen layer and change in blood supply may lead to cellulite.
