Cellulite & Skin Tightening: A Review of Pathophysiology and Topical Treatment
Background
Cellulite is a localized skin condition that affects many women, particularly after puberty. It results from a complex interplay of several factors that lead to the characteristic dimpled appearance of the skin. Cellulite may cause psychological stress and negatively impact quality of life. Additionally, body skin laxity may further exacerbate cosmetic concerns in these patients. Consequently, multiple therapeutic options, including topical treatments, have been explored to address both cellulite and skin laxity.
Objectives
To review the pathophysiology of cellulite and skin laxity, as well as topical skincare options for their management.
Methods
A literature search from 2000 to 2024 was conducted using the databases PubMed, EBSCOhost, Scopus, and Google Scholar, with the key terms “cellulite,” “cellulite management,” “cellulite topical treatment,” “skin sagging,” “skin laxity,” and “loose skin.” The search included clinical trials, observational studies, book chapters, and review articles in English and Spanish.
Results
The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying cellulite involve a combination of histological, hormonal, genetic, and lifestyle factors. Several topical agents, including retinoids and methylxanthines, have shown potential in improving the cosmetic appearance of cellulite and may contribute to localized fat reduction. Emerging botanical extracts hold promise as topical treatments for cellulite and skin tightening.
Conclusions
Cellulite and skin laxity are prevalent cosmetic concerns with multifactorial and complex pathophysiologic origins. Topical treatments for cellulite and skin tightening require further investigation. Although some studies have demonstrated positive outcomes with skincare products and topicals, robust evidence and studies with extended follow-up are still lacking. Additional research is necessary to evaluate the long-term efficacy of topical treatments as standalone therapies for cellulite and skin tightening.
