Cellulite represents the most common lipodystrophic disease. It affects more likely women than men and it usually develops in particular anatomic sites such as lateral thighs and buttocks. In these areas skin resembles 'orange peel' surface. The pathophysiological aspects of cellulite are still not clear. Many predisposing factors seem to influence cellulite onset, including gender, heredity, race, body weight and age. Hormones and impairment of both microvascular and lymphatic circulation are considered the most important etiological factors. The evaluation of cellulite is based principally on clinical observation, thigh circumference measurements, body mass index and thermography but for testing anticellulite products, more objective and non-invasive methods of evaluation are requested.
蜂窝组织炎代表最常见的脂肪营养不良疾病。它更可能影响女性而非男性，且通常在特定解剖部位发展，如外侧大腿和臀部。在这些区域，皮肤类似于“桔皮”表面。蜂窝组织炎的病理生理方面仍不清楚。许多诱发因素似乎会影响蜂窝组织炎的发生，包括性别、遗传、种族、体重和年龄。荷尔蒙和微血管及淋巴管循环的损伤被认为是最重要的病因因素。蜂窝组织炎的评估主要基于临床观察、大腿围度测量、体重指数和热成像，但为了测试抗蜂窝组织炎产品，需要更客观和非侵入性的评估方法。
