Cellulite is fat. It cannot be spot-reduced, despite common myth. However, healthy diet and exercise can lead to a reduction in visible cellulite.

Yes, cellulite is a type of fat. It is usually referring to the outer most layer of fat that we can actually see, and is usually on much larger people. It is often referred to as the 'cottage cheese' look, generally found on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and sometimes on the belly or underarms.
