Cellulite is a common condition that gives your flesh a lumpy, dimpled appearance. Jokingly dubbed “cottage cheese skin,” the texture can appear on almost any part of your body. Most commonly, patients report that these areas develop the most cellulite:
Cellulite often looks more drastic when you pinch or squeeze the skin around it. Sometimes, you can hardly see your cellulite unless you position your body in certain ways.
Cellulite is more common in women than in men. In fact, about 90% of women get cellulite on some areas of their bodies. Despite its prevalence, many women consider it an unattractive feature and cover it up whenever possible.
The true cause of cellulite is unknown, but most experts think it’s the result of the arrangement of your fat cells and connective tissue. Women’s connective tissues run vertically along their bodies, giving less support to the layers of fat around them.

At Diamante Medical Skin Care, Dr. Capaldi offers injections that nearly eliminate cellulite from your problem areas. If your cellulite causes you to cover up and hide your body, he can help you form a treatment plan that includes these injections to continue enjoying sleek, cellulite-free skin.
