This condition occurs when fat tissue under the skin bulges, usually in areas of the body with poor blood circulation, such as the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks, and is most common in middle-aged women. Doctors say this condition is more common in women in their 50s when the skin loses elasticity and becomes looser. In many people, the fatty lumps can spread to the legs and arms, are easily detected, and somewhat affect the body's aesthetics.

Experts are not sure what exactly causes the condition, but believe it can develop in most people, regardless of their weight or body size. Cellulite can be caused by a number of factors, including excess body fat, genetics, estrogen levels, thin and loose skin, collagen loss, poor diet, and more. However, many experts agree that the main cause is age.

Recent studies have shown that human skin loses about 1% of its collagen every year after the age of 18. By the age of 50, the rate of collagen loss is about 30%. In addition, hormonal changes and aging also make the skin thinner and less elastic, creating conditions for orange peel skin to appear and become more severe as women approach perimenopause and after this stage.

While it is difficult to completely eliminate cellulite, there are treatments available to help reduce, prevent, and even reverse the condition during and after menopause. Treatments typically focus on making the skin firmer and smoother to reduce the appearance of cellulite and prevent it from reappearing. As medical science has advanced, more attention has been paid to the treatment of the condition, leading to the development of specialist interventions to remove excess fat, burn fat in the cellulite, or use collagen-boosting products, detox products, or home massage therapies.

Detoxification procedures are becoming increasingly popular, believed to help the body return to its original state, gradually reducing the area of ​​cellulite until the fat tissue disappears and prevents it from reappearing. At that time, the body will not have to waste energy on detoxification and will have more energy for the task of burning excess fat, overcoming and repelling the condition of cellulite.

However, one important thing to note and has been recommended by many nutritionists is to ensure a balanced body, free of toxins such as stress, fast food, lack of exercise... Such a body will produce less fat tissue, the skin will be healthier and smoother, reducing cellulite.
