As summer approaches and we’re all becoming more aware of what our bodies look like in our swimsuits, one of the most common issues our patients raise is skin dimples, also known as cellulite. In this week’s blog post, Nubway takes a deeper look at the root causes of cellulite formation.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is a term used to describe areas of the body where there is a visible accumulation of fat, which results in the appearance of orange peeled skin or sunken skin. The problem is more common among women—about nine in 10 women , which begins to manifest during adolescence. Even slender women can be affected. Cellulite is commonly found on the thighs, buttocks, upper arms, and abdomen.

What causes cellulite?

There are many causes of cellulite:

Estrogen excess/surging, especially during puberty or aging, can lead to fat accumulation and water retention.

 Poor circulation leads to accumulation of lymphatic vessels and toxins.

The separability of connective tissue allows adipose tissue to be separated. When fat accumulates in the skin, skin depressions will appear.

The loss of elasticity and support of the skin can make the depression of fat accumulation appear more obvious.

Cellulite is a difficult skin problem to get rid of, but an active and healthy lifestyle can help.
