Development of Cellulite Condition

Cellulite mostly occurs in the age of 25 to 35 in the women and become worse with time. At the beginning of it the connective tissues of the body have a soft consistency and are not painful and in this stage mucus invades the tissues. It first appears on the inside of thighs and the knees. Three contributing agent which are heredity, estrogen, and fat are responsible for developing the Cellulite Condition. At a later stage pinching the skin becomes painful and can also produce wrinkles on the skin and therefore skin becomes rough, grayish and cold. It occurs in knees, ankles, hips, nape of the neck etc.
