Cellulite Facts

• While no definitive figure exists, it is believed that 90 to 95 percent of women have cellulites.
• Although testosterone deficiency can lead to cellulite development in men, they rarely get cellulite because the structure of the fat cells below the skin is different. The skin is thicker and the fat cell chambers smaller and shaped differently.
• Varicose veins are often found in conjunction with cellulite. They too are caused largely by a loss of connective tissue strength and integrity.
• The size and number of fat cells is significantly affected by your mother's nutritional status during pregnancy.
• Rapid weight loss can accentuate the appearance of cellulite if the skin and connective tissue remains slack.
