Assessment of the public’s knowledge of cellulite and its reduction methods

Abstract

Cellulite, commonly known as “orange peel”, is a common skin defect occurring especially among women. Based on a survey, this study aimed to estimate the population of people struggling with cellulite. As the aetiopathogenesis of cellulite is complex (hormones, genetic factors, physical activity, diet), the respondents’ lifestyles and their influence on the development of skin lesions were also analysed. The public’s knowledge of the characteristics of cellulite and its prevention is quite high but needs to be further improved. In the treatment of cellulite, regularity and a holistic approach including the use of cosmetic procedures supported by an appropriate diet and lifestyle are crucial.
