Cellulite Formation
Cellulite is a term used to illustrate pouch of fat that gets trapped beneath the skin and leads to dimpling in the skin. 90% of women develop cellulite at various times during their life, while it is barely seen in men. The abdomen, thighs and buttocks are the common regions to develop cellulite in women.
Formation of cellulite is often misguided for obesity, but in actual fact it is not always related to obesity as it can be formed in slender and lean women as well.
There are three explicit layers of fat beneath the dermis and epidermis. Cellulites have a tendency to grow in the hypodermic fat layer deposits. This layer is distinct in its formation as measured up to the other layers. This is because the lumpy parts in this layer are prearranged into definite chambers by strings of connected tissue around it.
Hormonal factor such as folliculine and estrogen also occupies a vital role in the formation of cellulite. Most often cellulites are formed in women at the time of hormonal changes like pregnancy, puberty and menopause; whilst it may also take place during the intake of birth control pills.
Hormones of a woman are generally accountable for the regulation of their fat, connective tissue, blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Cellulite formation is a consequence of composite physiological changes that takes place in the layer located below the epidermis. Poor nutrition, lack of water intake, weight gain and unhealthy lifestyle will worsen the overall formation of cellulite in your body.
