How To Get Rid Of Cellulite?

Cellulite is funny looking layer of fat which is located underneath the skin is generally found in thighs and buttocks. Sometimes it’s seen in arms, stomach, back, angles and hip too. It’s quite bumpy and resembles a cottage cheese.
Cellulite is seen more in females than in males as the men’s fat cells are very deep under the skin. It can affect women who are plumpy or skinny.

Treatment and Cure

There is no home remedy and requires surgery. Cellulite could be removed by a surgical procedure called liposuction which would suck the fat out. Although the surgery would remove the cellulite but it doesn’t guarantee non recurrence of it. Massaging exercises and over the counter creams could be used to improve the appearance of the affected area although they may not be removed totally.
