ABSTRACT

Cellulite is a localized condition of subcutaneous fat and connective tissues with the typical visual appearance of the orange peel look of the skin. Cellulite, or more correctly local lipodystrophy, affects mostly women and rarely men and is considered as a common aesthetic problem for many women. Cellulite appears generally after puberty and worsens with age. There are preferential places of cellulite, namely, buttocks, thighs, upper part of the arms, knees and more rarely the lower parts of the legs, and the back of the neck (Fig. 1).
