[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Cellulite has nothing to do with birth control and everything to do with your skin losing elasticity and showing fat more. [/quote] Birth control increases estrogen/progesterone ratios, which causes increased production of collagenase, the enzyme that breaks down collagen. Losing collagen causes the skin to lose elasticity, which, as you correctly pointed out, has everything to do with cellulite formation. Issue is that the hormones in birth control have a well established impact on skin elasticity. [/quote]
