At what age does cellulite get worse?

TL;DR: Cellulite can appear during the teen years but the first time that cellulite becomes more visible is in the late 20s, with late 30s and then early 50s, also being times when cellulite gets worse

At what age does cellulite appear and when does it get worse?

Cellulite at different decades in life

At the clinic we have seen thousands of clients with cellulite over the years and these are our observations:

  • Cellulite can start appearing at about 13-14 years of age for some young girls

  • During the mid teens (16-17) more and more teenagers develop cellulite these days, due to the use of contractive pill (for acne or contraception)

  • The next age milestone for cellulite is at about 27-28, when most young women start to complain about cellulite, brought on by drinking, sugary food, excess calorie consumption, smoking, inactivity and other factors, which stealthily accumulate the decade before and gradually make cellulite a visible problem by 27-28

  • Following that, cellulite starts getting worse again for many women by the late 30s / early 40s, after a couple of childbirths and after the effects of the above factors accumulating further

  • The next stage when cellulite increases a lot again is during menopause, in the 50s, when connective tissue weakens and metabolism reduces

What is the best way to reduce cellulite at different age milestones?

Cellulite prevention and reduction involves exactly the same things at any age milestone: healthy nutrition, regular exercise and physical activity and avoiding smoking vaping, alcohol and hormonal contraception.

For faster results, a course of 6-12 sessions of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation (the strongest safe anti-cellulite technologies available today), is recommended.
