Improvement in cellulite severity is not significantly correlated with changes in body weight or fat mass, indicating that local structural and metabolic-dermal interventions are primary drivers of cellulite reduction rather than systemic adiposity loss.

If you are trying to reduce cellulite, relying solely on weight loss or fat loss may not yield visible improvements in skin texture. This study suggests that combining systemic metabolic health (e.g., managing insulin/inflammation) with targeted local treatments (like specific topical formulations) is more effective for cellulite than weight loss alone. Focus on local tissue health and metabolic balance rather than just the scale.
