Cellulite wird zu einer immer häufiger auftretenden Erkrankung, die vor allem Frauen betrifft. Es ist nicht nur ein unschöner äußerer Anblick der Hautoberfläche, sondern umfasst auch eine Reihe von ernsthaften Störungen innerhalb des Körpers. Mit dem Fortschreiten medizinischer und kosmetologischer Kenntnisse sowie dem Einfluss einer geeigneten Ernährung auf die Entwicklung von Cellulitis können verschiedene Hautprobleme effektiv verhindert und behandelt werden.
Subcutaneous adipositas dysmorphia (colloquially: "orange-peel skin phenomenon") – aetiological factors, classification, and progressive stages
Subcutaneous adipositas dysmorphia, colloquially referred to as the "orange-peel skin" phenomenon, represents a structural disruption of the hypodermis, dermis, and epidermis, precipitated by impairments in lymphatic drainage and microcirculatory blood flow. These alterations result in the thickening of connective tissue fibres within adipose deposits and the formation of characteristic dimples and nodules. The condition predominantly manifests in anatomical regions with the highest concentration of subcutaneous fat—namely the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. The classification outlined below incorporates both clinical criteria and the severity of pathological changes, distinguishing variants such as the oedematous type (accompanied by heaviness and pain in the limbs), the aqueous form (linked to peripheral circulatory disorders), the firm variant (common in women over 40 with sedentary lifestyles), the lipidic type (associated with dysregulated lipid metabolism), and the mixed presentation. Disease progression occurs in distinct stages—ranging from subtle reductions in skin elasticity (Stage I) to pronounced thickening and furrowing (Stage IV), often coexisting with oedema and painful symptoms. The aetiology of cellulite is multifactorial, with oestrogens, genetic predispositions, lifestyle factors (including dietary habits and physical activity levels), and adipose tissue distribution playing pivotal roles. Owing to anatomical and hormonal disparities, this condition predominantly affects women, among whom the percentage of body fat is statistically higher than in men.
