The facts you need to know about cellulite

Ah, cellulite. Like Aunt nosy, it's annoying, but also almost unavoidable part of life. Anyone can develop this alarming situation: skin when stretching Collagen fibers that connect fat on the skin and tear, allows fat cells to expand. Learn more about cellulite and your body, and special tags how to get rid of those annoying once and for all (or at least how to make them less noticeable).

Cellulite and fat
Don't get the two confused: cellulite is simply boils and bumps that are seen when fat is divided into small pockets in the skin, board certified plastic surgeon, says Dr Matthew Schulman. Interesting

More common in women than in men
How unfair is that? Skin collagen women arranged in rows are parallel, like columns. This style lends itself to defragment FAT, which makes the cellulite is visible, says Schulman. Collagen for men, however, arranged in a pattern of X. This creates fat compartments only very small and does not allow dimpling of the skin.

OTC creams may help
To be on the lookout for products containing caffeine or retinol: caffeine stimulates blood flow and temporarily shrinks fat cells, whereas the retinol helps repair cells over time, says Dr Francesca Fusco, Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai School of medicine. Experts suggest applying the cream with retinol first, followed by one with caffeine. Keep in mind, though, that this will not really get rid of cellulite.

There is a cure!
Doctors and the FDA approved methods to get rid of cellulite — like silolazi — but these methods usually expensive (silolazi can set you back hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the treated area). This process takes about an hour, but the effects can last for years, experts say.

Exercise can also reduce the appearance of cellulite
It's real! Sue Heitzmann, founder of "melt" method, these moves suggest foam rolling. Interval training also burns fat (less noticeable, which makes cellulite) — even after you're done sweating, says grant Garson, head coach at Chelsea Piers in New York City. More than a Yogi?

Don't make cellulite disappear weight loss
Yes, more body fat and UPS your chances of having cellulite is visible. But even when I was downsized, the tissue stretches still bandaged, Heitzmann says. Genes, infections, hormonal imbalances affect all cellulite how much you have, says Dr Joshua zichner, Director of clinical and cosmetic dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City – so even if you drop a ton of kilograms, that doesn't mean you'll completely wipe things. (Sorry to be the bearer of bad news).

UV worsen the appearance of cellulite
Another reason to use sunscreen religiously: ultraviolet rays can damage the collagen, which makes the cellulite more clearly. Remember that SPF slather!
