Cellulite is caused by fat deposits under the skin that give a dimpled appearance, especially on thighs and buttocks. It is most common in women due to hormonal factors. While many treatments claim to reduce cellulite, medical studies found no significant difference between cellulitic fat and normal fat. Endermologie and body wraps provide temporary water loss but effects are not long lasting. Liposuction and lipodissolve are more effective at permanently removing fat deposits that cause cellulite.
