Cellulite-Causes & Treatment
Are those lumpy dimples on your thighs giving you nightmares?
OVERVIEW
First of all, let us understand, what actually Cellulite is? Cellulite is a very common skin condition that leads to the formation of lumps and dimples in the skin. The changes in the structure of the fat cells and connective tissues that lie underneath your skin’s surface lead to such lumpy dimpled skin.
Cellulite is also known as cottage cheese skin, orange-peel skin, hail damage, and the mattress phenomenon.
Before I dive deeper into this skin condition, I just want all of you to know that Cellulite is 100 percent normal and there is no problem with having it. But if you are not a fan of this skin condition and it gives you nightmares, don’t worry, there are ways and means to get rid of them.
GRADES OF CELLULITE
The grades of Cellulite on a severity scale based on a study that was published in 2009 is as follows:
Grade 1 (or mild): Orange-peel like appearance; 1- 4 superficial depressions
Grade 2 (or moderate): Cottage-cheese appearance; sagging appearance; 5–9 medium-depth depressions
Grade 3 (or severe): Mattress appearance; severely draped skin; > 10 depressions
