Definition of Cellulite: Cellulite is a common skin condition where the skin appears lumpy and dimpled due to uneven fat deposits beneath it.

Prevalence: Cellulite affects almost 80% of women to some degree and around 10% of men.

Genetic Factors: Genetics play a significant role in the development of cellulite, making it a primary factor.

Hormonal Influence: Estrogen stimulates fat growth under the skin in women, especially in the thighs, buttocks, and hips, contributing to cellulite.

Connective Tissue Differences: In women, connective tissue is arranged in a parallel pattern, allowing fat cells to push through more easily, while in men, it has a crisscross pattern, providing more support.

Effective Treatments: Laser and radiofrequency treatments are among the most effective ways to reduce cellulite, breaking down fat cells and stimulating collagen synthesis.

Acoustic Wave Therapy: This method is also effective but not as effective as laser or radiofrequency treatments.

Massage and Mechanical Treatments: These can improve circulation and offer moderate, temporary improvement in cellulite appearance.

Diet and Exercise: A healthy diet with less sugar, more fruits and vegetables, and highfiber foods, along with regular strength and aerobic exercises, can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite vs. Cellulitis: Cellulite is not a disease but a variation of normal skin appearance, while cellulitis is a bacterial infection causing inflammation, pain, and redness in the skin.
