Cellulite

One of the main factors contributing to cellulite is your genetics and your predisposition to developing it, other factors that contribute include:

• Hormones
• Weight gain
• Poor diet
• Smoking
• Unhealthy lifestyle
• Excess build up of toxins
• Poor circulation
• Poor lymphatic drainage
• Inactivity
• Pregnancy

However even slim people with a healthy diet can be prone to cellulite if they have a genetic predisposition.

Cellulite can be classified into different categories or grades from 0-4 as follows.

• Grade 0 – this is where there is no visible cellulite, even on compression of the skin
• Grade 1 – This is classifies as cellulite that is not visible when sitting or standing, however can be seen when the skin is compressed or the muscle is tensed.
• Grade 2 – When there is visible changes to the texture of the skin, this is classified as grade 2. The skin can appear bumpy like orange peel or cottage cheeses without compression and there may be a slight loss of the skin’s elasticity.
• Grade 3 – This grade will appear much more dimpled with deeper skin irregularities. The texture of the skin will be rough and uneven and there will be a moderate degree of skin laxity. This will be very much visible when standing or lying without need to compress the skin.
• Grade 4 – This is classified as severe cellulite, the skin will appear very bumpy and have a nodular, lumpy texture, there will be a marked increase in skin laxity and cellulite will be visible when standing or lying without need to compress the skin.
