 Cellulite is a term that is most commonly used to describe the lumpy, dimpled appearance of the skin that some individuals experience on their thighs, hips and buttocks. This condition is rarely seen in men but is currently found in over 85% of women over the age of 20. Because so many women suffer from the unwanted, visible appearance of cellulite, continuing research has allowed physicians to discover its exact cause, as well as many treatments that can bring women relief.
There is no one factor that can cause and individual to experience the formation of cellulite, but maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle can help to prevent the formation of cellulite within the body. Cellulite most often forms as a result of an unbalanced diet, little or no exercise, insufficient water intake, incorrect breathing, stress and tension, fatigue and hormonal cycles. While Cellulite was at first thought to be a direct effect of excessive weight gain or obesity, this has since been disproven; even fit individuals can suffer from unwanted cellulite. While they aren't a cure for cellulite, those who maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly can greatly reduce their chances of forming this bumpy, dimply skin.
While diet and exercise can naturally reduce signs of cellulite, many treatments have also been developed that can return skin to its normal appearance. The following are some of the most widely used methods of cellulite reduction.
