Cellulite affects 85-98% of post-pubertal females of all races. While not a pathologic condition, it remains an issue of cosmetic concern to a great number of individuals. Despite its high prevalence, there have been few scientific investigations into the physiology of cellulite. There have only been a few dozen peer-reviewed articles devoted to cellulite in the medical literature in the past 30 years. There is no definitive explanation for its presentation. This greatly complicates the ability to treat or improve it. The four leading hypotheses that purport to explain the physiology of cellulite include: sexually dimorphic skin architecture, altered connective tissue septae, vascular changes and inflammatory factors. Treatment modalities can be divided into four main categories: attenuation of aggravating factors, physical and mechanical methods, pharmacological agents and laser. There are no truly effective treatments for cellulite.
橘皮组织影响着所有种族85%至98%的青春期后女性。虽然它并非一种病理状况，但对许多人来说仍是一个美容方面令人担忧的问题。尽管其患病率很高，但针对橘皮组织生理学的科学研究却很少。在过去30年的医学文献中，仅有几十篇关于橘皮组织的同行评审文章。对于其表现形式尚无确切解释。这极大地增加了治疗或改善它的难度。旨在解释橘皮组织生理学的四个主要假说是：两性皮肤结构差异、结缔组织间隔改变、血管变化和炎症因子。治疗方式可分为四大类：减轻加重因素、物理和机械方法、药物制剂及激光。目前尚无真正有效的橘皮组织治疗方法。
