Does Fat Cause Cellulite?

Jan 28, 2025 | Blog, Ultraslim Body

Cellulite is a term that describes the dimpled, lumpy appearance of skin, most commonly found on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. It’s a condition that affects people of all shapes and sizes, and while fat does play a role, it’s not the sole cause. Let’s take a closer look at what causes cellulite and how solutions like UltraSlim® Red Light Therapy at UltraBody by Lifegate can help.

What Causes Cellulite?

Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin. Factors that contribute to its formation include:

Fat Distribution: Excess fat can make cellulite more noticeable, but even lean individuals can have cellulite due to other factors.
Hormones: Hormonal changes, especially in estrogen, can weaken connective tissues and increase fat storage.
Genetics: Your genes play a significant role in determining the structure of your connective tissue and your likelihood of developing cellulite.
Lifestyle: Poor diet, lack of exercise, dehydration, and stress can exacerbate the appearance of cellulite.
Aging: As we age, skin loses elasticity, and connective tissues become less resilient, making cellulite more apparent.

Is Fat the Main Culprit?

While fat contributes to the appearance of cellulite, it’s not the sole cause. Even people with low body fat percentages can have cellulite due to genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, or the structure of their connective tissues. It’s important to understand that cellulite is a complex issue, and reducing fat alone may not completely eliminate it.
