Cellulite is a cosmetic term that is usually used to refer to areas of the body with an “orange peel” appearance, which are due to circumscribed deposits of fat.
85 to 98% of women have cellulite at some point in their lives. It is a much more frequent situation in women and especially from the age of 30.
Genetics seems to be an important factor for the appearance and development of cellulite and it is considered that in genuine cellulite there is a fundamental role of hyperestrogenism.
The pathophysiological mechanism of cellulite formation is still not completely known, believing that it is a multifactorial process.
A cellulite classification system was proposed by Rossi and Vergnanini and classifies cellulite according to its appearance into 4 grades, in which in grade I the patient does not present clinical alterations and in grade IV where even at rest one can observe "orange skin" ”, the fat nodules are palpable, visible and painful, there is adhesion at deep levels and the wavy aspect of the skin surface is evident.
