Most people refer to Cellulite as the fatty deposits that form uneven, wrinkled, dimply skin found on the thighs, hips and buttocks of about 85% of mature women. Even when fat is lost from other body areas, cellulite remains and will actually be the last fat to be lost.

Cellulite is formed when connective tissues beneath the skin that shape the fat become weak and deformed.

This connective tissue acts as an anchor between the muscles and the skin, it also forms the chambers that hold the Scarpus Fascia (body fat that lies beneath the skin).

When the connective tissues become weak, then the Scarpus Fascia bulges upward and causes an uneven appearance in the skin. This is thought to be the cause of cellulite, however there are theories that the primary cause of cellulite is poor blood and lymph circulation. In brief the theory states that poor circulation causes a higher fluid density in the surface layer of fat. This prevents the fat from being properly absorbed into the blood and causes it to swell with excess fluids thus stretching the connective tissues and leaving the lumpy irregular appearance.

Although by reducing the amount of fat, we could possibly reduce the appearance of the cellulite on the surface, it does not eliminate the root cause. To properly treat cellulite one needs to eliminate the cause; weakened connective tissues or poor circulation and lymphatic drainage. See Causes of Cellulite
