Although men can suffer with cellulite, it is principally found on females, usually at the back of their thighs, tum and buttocks because of differences in the way the muscle and tissues are distributed. Males by and large tend to have lower amounts of body fat, while females have higher amounts. The female hormone, estrogen, plays an important role in the formation, and one of the reasons for cellulite because it induces the storage of fat, which is needed for menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation. Another contributing cause of cellulite is being fat but cellulite is not formed as a direct result of this, even so, it can worsen the situation.

A more extreme method of cellulite therapy is suction lumpectomy for example, which removes gathered fatty tissues from the muscles surgically and in this process a suction pump is allowed to penetrate through small incisions made on the skin. By massaging the affected are with rollers, the gathered fats are broken up until all the toxins and any water are sucked out.
