Cellulite Treatment Specialist in Chesapeake, VA

Cellulite is a common skin condition that causes dimpled flesh on certain areas of the body such as the thighs, hips, butt, and abdomen. While the condition can anyone, it is more prevalent in girls, affecting between 80-90% of women as compared to around 10% of men. It is a completely harmless and painless affliction, however, many who have cellulite are not fond of the way it makes their skin look.

Cellulite develops as fat cells continue to accumulate and push up against the skin. This creates an uneven surface which translates to dimpling appearing across the exterior of the skin.

There is still much research to be done into what, exactly, causes cellulite. However, early studies have shown that hormonal factors, genetics, weight, muscle tone, and lifestyle choices may all influence who develops this condition.

Cellulite is a completely painless condition that doesn’t affect your overall physical health. However, many do not like how cellulite makes their body look which can often affect their levels of self-confidence and self-esteem.

Cellulite is pain-free condition that only affects how skin looks and feels. It’s characterized by dimpled or bumpy skin, which is often described as having the texture of cottage cheese or oatmeal.

Mild cases of cellulite may only be visible if you pinch your skin in that specific area. More severe cases are visually present whether the skin is being touched or is at rest, making the skin constantly appear bumpy. Cellulite is most common around the thighs, hips, butt, stomach, and breasts although it can form anywhere where there is an accumulation of fat cells.
