Fat dimples are small indentations that form in the skin when you have cellulite. Fat dimples are more common on your buttocks, but they can also appear on the upper part of your legs, both in the front and back. Although there's no magic solution that will completely eradicate fat dimples, you can minimize their appearance and make them less obvious.
Step 1
Start a weight training or resistance training program. As you build muscle, your body will become firmer overall and this will minimize the appearance of the dimples. This won't necessarily reduce the amount of cellulite you have. It just makes it look less obvious.
Step 2
Exercise daily for at least 30 minutes, more if you have lots of weight to lose. You can't spot-reduce, which means you can't lose fat from one specific area. Instead, focus on aerobic activities that will burn the most calories and fat and reduce your total weight, such as biking, step aerobics or jumping rope.
Step 3
Lose weight through a combination of a healthy diet and exercise. Switching to a healthier, low-fat diet can help you lose weight and can reduce fat in your body. Also avoid high-sodium items such as canned vegetables and fast food. Sodium can cause you to retain water, which can worsen the appearance of cellulite.
Step 4
Stay hydrated. Dehydration can make the dimples more obvious. Drink water, herbal tea and other sugar-free, caffeine-free drinks. If you exercise, drink more than the minimum eight glasses to stay hydrated.
Tips and Warnings
- Ask your doctor about your medical therapy options. According to MayoClinic.com, infrared lasers and radiofrequency massage therapy can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. You will need to do a series of treatments before you see any difference. Results only last a few months, after which you must repeat the procedure.
- Don't crash diet, as this will leave you dehydrated and can worsen the appearance of fat dimples.
