No. Although most people think of cellulite as a fat-related concern, it’s actually a bit more complex. Cellulite is caused by bands of connective, fibrous tissue that pull on the skin from below, causing those telltale dimples to form. Fat can protrude through these bands, exacerbating the appearance of cellulite. Although fat reduction through weight loss or a procedure such as CoolSculpting may help reduce the look of cellulite, it’s unlikely to completely eliminate it.
