Cellulite is a fancy name for fat. It's located just under the skin, which makes it dimple and seem more noticeable than fat in other places of your body.
Cellulite occurs when blood vessels in fat layers near tissue become damaged.
The circulation of blood slows, and fluid builds up. The fat expands and creates puckers. Researchers don't have a clear answer. But, genetics and gender each play a major role. Cellulite can be difficult to prevent.
