Is cellulite a marketing term?
  • I am suspicious its a made up marketing idea because cellulite is just fat, how is it different from other fat?
  • if it's a marketing ploy how do you explain the look of cellulite? it's not just plain fat, it's very textured fat that looks different from the fat found on the rest of the body
  • "Does your skin look like an orange peel? Actually there is no such
    thing as cellulite, but the term seems to describe a dimpled appearance
    to the skin for most people. What you are looking at is hypertrophied
    fat cells or fat cells that are full of fat rather than partially full.



    No cream, gadget or supplement will rid your body of dimpled skin. Only
    way to reduce dimpled look to skin is exercise to reduce body fat and
    increase underlying muscle. Aerobic exercise is great to reduce body
    fat and weight lifting increases muscle mass. If you aren't sure what
    exercises to do, contact an exercise physiologist or a certified trainer
    for guidance.



    Or are you referring to cellulitis which is a reddened area to a
    specific area of skin? Cellulitis is an inflammation of the tissue just
    beneath the skin. If this is what you are referring to, I would
    recommend you see your doctor as blood clots also cause a reddened, hot
    area to the skin close to a blood clot."
