Cellulite

Cellulite is quite a common problem experienced by most of us. This issue relates to the formation of lumps and dimples in the skin due to excess fat. While both men and women can struggle with this problem, it tends to be more common in women due to different distributions of fat, muscle, and connective tissue between the two genders. While cellulite poses no health risks, it can make some people feel uncomfortable about themselves. If such is the case for you, we invite you to visit our Rutland center and discover our full range of treatment options.

How Does This Issue Occur?

The exact cause of cellulite is currently unknown. However, this strange skin issue seems to occur due to an interaction between the connective tissue below the skin and the layer of fat underneath it. In women, fat cells and connective tissue in this layer are arranged vertically. When there is excess fat in the body, these cells protrude into the layer of skin, giving it that characteristic dimpled appearance. In men, this tissue has a criss-cross structure, which may explain why it is less likely for men to have this problem.

What Are the Signs of Cellulite?

The most obvious sign of cellulite is having dimpled skin and excess fat in a specific region in the body. This uneven skin texture can have an almost bumpy, rippled appearance. Thankfully, this issue doesn’t pose any significant health risks and therefore does not require medical attention. However, aesthetic treatments can effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite without the need for invasive procedures. If you are unhappy with the way your skin looks, we can provide effective treatment to help alleviate the issue.
