cellulite
Thigh texture issue
Cellulite is the dimpled, lumpy appearance of skin, typically on the thighs, hips, and buttocks, caused by fat deposits pushing through connective tissue beneath the skin.
It affects the majority of women after puberty and is considered a normal variation in fat distribution rather than a medical condition.
Despite countless creams, treatments, and procedures marketed to reduce it, cellulite proves remarkably resistant to elimination.
