Cellulite is one of the most common and least tolerated aesthetic problems for women.

Cellulite is the name given to the lumpy, irregular fat deposits often found around the hips, buttocks and upper leg areas. It is sometimes described as "orange peel skin" because of the dimpled appearance of the affected areas.

Cellulite occurs because a large number of women's fat cells are located in pockets within the connective tissue of the skin. Over time a build up of fluids and fat can cause the pockets to bulge and press against the connective tissue fibres. The fibres act like a net, anchoring the fat cells to the body but letting some poke through. When the lobes of fat swell, they push out the epidermis and form bumps.

At the Cosmetic Medical Centre we offer three treatments for cellulite: Carboxytherapy, Cellulolipolysis and Liposuction. Please refer to the fact sheets for further information.
