Overview

Cellulite is a common skin condition in which the surface takes on a dimpled, uneven appearance, most often on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen. It results from the way fat is distributed within the subcutaneous tissue and from the arrangement of the fibrous connective bands that tether the skin to underlying structures, which can cause fat to push upward and the skin to pucker. Cellulite is very common, particularly in women, and is influenced by factors such as body composition, connective tissue structure, hormonal influences, and skin elasticity; it is a cosmetic condition rather than a sign of ill health. Within Dermatologic Research And Therapy, research relevant to cellulite includes a study examining whether a controlled diet improves cellulite, which addresses the contribution of body composition and lifestyle, and an evaluation of a topical active-ingredient system for the reduction of cellulite in women. Together these works consider both dietary and topical approaches to managing the appearance of cellulite. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to cellulite and its treatment.
