Cellulite is a very common problem among women, which is why losing cellulite is part of the ever growing multi-billion dollar cosmetic and beauty industry today. It is safe to say that 9 out of 10 women have cellulite but what’s more interesting is that cellulite does not only happen to overweight women. Even slim women and athletes get cellulite. This is because cellulite is caused by changes in skin structure and not by the amount of fat in the body.

The uneven, orange-peel effect is caused by fat cells protruding from fat cell chambers into the dermis area which lies just beneath the skin surface. It’s just the way that the female subcutaneous fat layer is structured. Although many specialists believe that cellulite cannot be removed, it can be reduced using various methods of cellulite reduction. With new breakthroughs in technology being made, getting rid of cellulite may not be such an impossible task in the near future.
