Cellulite is a combination of fat globules, waste matter, and water, imprisoned in connective tissue. Cellulite is a term coined in European salons and spas to describe deposits of unattractive dimpled skin or dimpled fat found on the thighs and buttocks and other body areas, where large areas of fat are found in close proximity to the skin. Women are more affected by cellulite formation than men, especially on the thighs. Cellulite formations start in puberty in women, as hormones change. Most women over age 18 have some degree of cellulite. In men, loose fat on the chest (pectoral) area and the thighs can resemble cellulite. A person does not have to be overweight to develop this dimpled skin called cellulite; and cellulite is not always reduced by weight loss.
