Abstract
Cellulite describes the orange-peel dimpling of the skin, seen most
commonly on the thighs and buttocks of 85-98% of post pubertal females
of all races. There is no definitive explanation for its development, but the
leading hypotheses that may explain it include; vascular, structural,
hormonal, inflammatory and neurogenic theory. There are several
methods to evaluate cellulite including clinical characteristics,
thermography, plicometry, laser Doppler flowmetry, ultrasonography and
magnetic resonance imaging. Therapeutic modalities of cellulite include
attenuation of aggravating factors, mechanical treatment, topical
treatment, mesotherapy, systemic herbal treatment, lasers and surgical
treatment.
