Cellulite Insecurity
- Cellulite is a common insecurity, especially among women, often linked to weight or pregnancy.
- It's actually caused by various factors, particularly hormonal changes.
Cellulite Types
- Three types of cellulite exist: aqueous (flexible, slightly visible), adipose (soft, localized), and fibrous (hard, painful).
- All involve deformed fatty tissue beneath the skin, commonly on buttocks, hips, thighs, stomach, and upper arms.
Cellulite Formation
- Cellulite forms when adipose cells increase in number or size, causing skin to appear bumpy.
- Hormones, especially estrogen, play a key role, along with genetics, stress, circulation issues, and water retention.
