Men do not tend to get cellulite that often just because their skin is thicker, which makes it harder to actually see the cellulite. Also, the fat in a man's skin is stored further under the skin and is depositedin different areas than a woman, another reson why cellulite on a man is harder to see than on women.the most common place a man gets cellulite tends to be in his neck or in his abdomen.

For cellulite to occur you need excess calorie balance, inactivity and estrogen.
Men have lower amounts of estrogen in their body than women, so they don't get cellulite normally. Testosterone itself protects mens' bodies from the development of cellulite.

With age, many mens' bodies convert testosterone to estrogen, especially if they are overweight too, and this can lead to cellulite formation. Inactivity makes this process more pronounced. Furthermore, beer contains estrogenic substances which can also contribute to this phenomenon in men.

The above are also the causes of moobs, i.e. "man boobs" that older or more overweight men have.

Cellulite is the major problem for both women and men.Overall it most often affect women but men can suffer too.In order to avoid it i can hardly recommend a healthy diet.You should drink plenty of water,eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and please do not smoke .
My anti-cellulite program include a lymphatic drainage masage for women and deep tissue or sports massage for men.

Sure they can. My husband is the perfect example. I truly believe it is from the toxicity level in the body that it gets so bad in men. My example drinks lots of beer and smokes like a chimney. To top it all, he's diet is not that healthy. So the main spots of cellulite on his body are around his tush and belly and thights.

Hi there,
Yes men can get cellulite two. Cellulite is a build up of toxins trapped around the fat cell, so cellulite is not restricted to men or women or to one specific area. Cellulite can build anywhere there is a fat cell. The important thing to know is that cellulite can be reduced without surgery.
