What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite refers to the lumpy, dimpled appearance of skin caused by fat deposits pushing through connective tissue beneath the skin. It commonly appears on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen, especially in women.

While cellulite is completely natural, many people seek treatments to improve skin smoothness and firmness for a more sculpted look.
