Many times it is women that are the ones that deal with cellulite even though there is a percentage of men that will deal with it also. About ninety percent of females will have this problem. You will find that even women that are considered to be picture perfect will have some cellulite.
There are really two different kinds of cellulite. In people who have the bodies of runners, dancers, or athletes there is hard cellulite. This type is hard to rid the body of because of the fact that is attached to muscle tissue directly. This type is not visible as much as the soft cellulite. The soft type will generally be in areas that are larger and it will sag from the body often. This is because it is not attached to muscle readily.
So what causes cellulite? You will find that cellulite is actually a form of fat tissue that is right below the skins surface. This skin layer has bands of tissue that is connecting and has many different fat cells and has a liquid that is surrounding it to help nourish it and provide it with a waste system that is effective. The waste needs to be removed because the toxins that are trapped there will thicken the connective tissue and give a dimpling effect. As we begin to age, this skin layer will thicken as well. This can also give a rippling effect.
You should know that fat and cellulite are not the same. Fat will insulate your body. Cellulite will actually give you no padding for insulation and will only occur in particular areas of your body like the buttock, thighs, breast, and abdomen.
All of this being said, cellulite is not something that any of us enjoy dealing with. You will find that there are many different methods that can be used to help rid the body of this cellulite. Some of these methods are more extreme than others are.
