Why is cellulite so hard to lose?
Even with weight loss, cellulite may persist because it’s not just about fat — it's about skin structure. Genetics, hormones, and aging all play a role, which is why effective treatment requires more than just diet & exercise.
What causes cellulite?
Fat pushing through fibrous connective bands under the skin causes the uneven, lumpy appearance of cellulite. It’s more common in women due to how connective tissue and fat are distributed.
Can exercise or creams fix cellulite?
Exercise can tone and firm, but may not eliminate cellulite. Most over-the-counter creams provide only temporary improvement, if any. Medical-grade skin tightening and resurfacing are much more effective.
