Why do I have cellulite when I am a teenager?

What is cellulite?

Bumpy looking skin means cellulite has appeared. But then, by what mechanism? Cellulite is an abnormal buildup of fat (and sometimes water and toxins) in adipocytes - fat cells - located in the deep layer of the skin. As they form, these clumps deform the skin and give it a grainy appearance like orange peel. These fat deposits are also called " dimples"

These can lead to poor drainage of the area affected by cellulitis, because the blood and lymphatic vessels passing through the hypodermis are compressed by the fat cells. But also a phenomenon of water retention which causes blood circulation disorders and therefore increased cellulite during adolescence. These worries usually come later. However, cellulite should not be allowed to set in.

It exists different forms of cellulite (fatty, watery or fibrous) and different stages of development (incipient, installed or fibrous). Good news: when you're a teenager, your cellulite will most likely be new and of the fatty or watery type. It will therefore be possible to get rid of it by following our advice below.

The factors responsible for the appearance of cellulite in adolescence

Women are more affected than men because the female body contains twice as many fat cells as the male body. Therefore 9 out of 10 women will have cellulite. But men are not spared even if it affects only 2% of them.

Cellulite can appear in different stages of life and therefore from adolescence ; and can affect all body types : thin, round, sporty or not. This is because cellulite mainly governs the genetic makeup and hormones. But be aware that other factors can cause cellulite to develop when you are a teenager. So what are they?

• the female hormones. Cellulite when you are a teenager generally appears because you are subject to great hormonal upheavals such as puberty, the onset of menstruation, or the start of taking hormonal contraception. Cellulite is then influenced by the outbreak ofestrogenic hormones. These hormones stimulate the fat cells which will store more fat in the deep layer of the skin and promote the retention of water and toxins; or the combination favorable to the appearance of cellulite.

• heredity. If the women in your family have a tendency to have cellulite, you are also more likely to develop it on your body. In addition, the genetic makeup determines our metabolism and therefore the ability to burn more or less fat. Some people will be more likely than others to develop cellulite.

• A poor hygiene of life. A poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, a lack of physical and sports activity, the taking of certain medications, tobacco, and stress are all factors that can promote cellulite in adolescence. Know that contrary to what one might think, weight gain does not play a major role in the appearance of cellulite. It will simply play on the more or less visible aspect of the orange peel.
