        <label>Abstract</label>
        <p>Cellulite is a common dermatologic condition affecting 80-90% of post-pubertal females, particularly on the thighs, buttocks, and hips. It is characterized by dimpling and a “mattress-like” skin appearance, significantly impacting body image and quality of life. More prevalent in Caucasian women, it results from multifactorial causes, including hormonal influences (e.g., estrogen), structural differences in subcutaneous tissues, vascular changes, and low-grade inflammation. Lifestyle and aging further contribute to its severity. Treatments range from topical applications and energy-based devices to minimally invasive procedures, though results are often temporary. Due to its complex etiopathogenesis and structural changes, cellulite remains challenging to treat, necessitating realistic patient expectations and further research for improved and lasting solutions.</p>
