What Exactly is Cellulite?
Cellulite manifests as dimpled or uneven skin, typically around areas like the hips, thighs, and buttocks. This is caused by fat cells pushing up against the skin while the connective tissue pulls it down, creating that characteristic “orange peel” texture. It’s important to note that cellulite isn’t necessarily tied to weight. Genetics, loss of skin elasticity, poor circulation, and hormonal changes are all contributing factors.
Why Women are More Prone to Cellulite
Cellulite is much more common in women due to how fat is distributed in the female body. While men can develop it, hormonal changes, skin structure, and fat storage patterns make women more susceptible. Cellulite often begins around puberty and can worsen over time as circulation and collagen levels decrease.
Additional Causes of Uneven Skin
Although cellulite is a major cause of skin texture issues, it’s not the only one. Here are some other common factors:
- Water Retention (Oedema): Fluid retention can lead to puffiness, particularly around the thighs and waist. Genetics, medication, or lifestyle factors can make individuals more prone to this condition.
- Post-Surgical Scarring: Some patients may experience skin irregularities after cosmetic surgery, such as liposuction. What may look like cellulite could be fibrosis, or scar tissue under the skin, leading to uneven texture.
- Skin Aging and Collagen Loss: As we age, the natural loss of collagen can cause the skin to become less elastic, contributing to sagging and an uneven appearance.

Tackling cellulite requires a multifaceted strategy. At Total Definer Beauty, we utilize a combination of advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology to treat not just cellulite but also related skin conditions.
