Tselluliit

Tselluliit is a common skin condition characterized by the dimpled or lumpy appearance of the skin, often referred to as "cottage cheese skin" or "orange peel syndrome." It primarily affects the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, though it can occur on other areas as well. The visible texture is caused by fat deposits pushing through the connective tissue bands beneath the skin. This condition is more prevalent in women than men due to differences in the way fat, muscle, and connective tissue are distributed.

The exact cause of cellulite is not fully understood, but several factors are believed to contribute. These include genetics, hormonal changes (such as those during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause), age-related changes in skin structure, and lifestyle factors like diet and physical activity. While cellulite is not a medical problem and does not pose any health risks, many individuals seek treatments to reduce its appearance due to cosmetic concerns.

Numerous treatments are available, ranging from topical creams and massage to more invasive procedures like laser therapy, radiofrequency, and liposuction. However, the effectiveness and longevity of these treatments vary widely, and none are considered a permanent cure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise can help minimize the appearance of cellulite by reducing overall body fat and improving skin tone.
