Cellulite is incredibly common, and having it doesn’t mean you’re out of shape. In fact, many fit, healthy people notice dimpling on their thighs, hips or buttocks despite eating well and exercising regularly. That’s because cellulite is influenced by factors that go far beyond body weight.
Why Do Fit People Still Have Cellulite?
Cellulite forms when fat pushes against the connective tissue beneath the skin, creating the dimpled appearance many people recognize. Genetics, hormones, skin thickness and the structure of your connective tissue all play a role in whether cellulite develops.
This is why marathon runners, strength athletes and people with low body fat can still have cellulite. Exercise can strengthen muscles and improve overall body composition, but it cannot completely change the way connective tissue is arranged beneath the skin.
Women are especially likely to develop cellulite because of differences in skin structure and connective tissue compared to men.
Can You Reduce the Appearance of Cellulite?
Although cellulite cannot always be eliminated entirely, professional treatments like Aveli, AlloClae and (the two combined!) may help improve the skin’s appearance. Depending on your goals, your provider may recommend treatments that stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin or improve overall texture.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also support smoother-looking skin by promoting good circulation, hydration and muscle tone. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that cellulite is a normal part of human anatomy for many people.
