Cellulite treatment

BACKGROUND: Post-liposuction skin irregularities (PLSI) represent a complication of liposuction, even though literature does not report specific data on their characteristics. OBJECTIVE: Considering the expanding request of treatment of PLSI and their similarities to cellulite, the aim of this study is to provide a definition or classification of their appearance according to a previously described cellulite scale and to highlight eventual novel features, in patients undergoing previous liposuction and a control group...

BACKGROUND: Cellulite represents a common multi-factorial condition that affects nearly all women and is now recognized as a clinical condition associated with systemic factors and negative psychological effects. Several noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments were developed during the last few years, but limited evidence supports many of them due to lack of evidence, insufficient participants, and potential adverse effects. METHODS: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a seaweed mud application in improving both the structure and function of tissues affected by cellulite...

Gynoid lipodystrophy, also called cellulite, is defined as a metabolic disorder of the subcutaneous tissue that alters body contour. It is rare in men but affects 80%-90% of adult women.The authors describe a technique for the treatment of cellulite with non-traumatic subcisionTM of septa by cannula associated with large-gel-particle hyaluronic acid (HA). It uses a special marking, a safe plan and a specific product. The product being used is Subskin Aeskins, in a subcutaneous plan as no major blood vessels were found...

BACKGROUND: Cellulite is a condition characterized by dimpling and contour irregularities in the gluteal and thigh regions, affecting an estimated 80-98% of postpubertal women. Innovative treatments for cellulite dimpling in the buttocks have gained popularity in recent years, seeking new solutions for a historically challenging condition. In this open-label, investigator-initiated, single-center, prospective clinical study, the authors sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA; Radiesse®, Merz Aesthetics, Raleigh, NC) for the treatment of cellulite dimpling in the buttocks of adult women...

BACKGROUND: Cellulite is an aesthetically displeasing rippling or dimpling of the skin, primarily on the buttocks/thighs. A recent study showed a novel acoustic subcision device produced significant short-term (12-week) improvement in the appearance of cellulite after a single rapid acoustic pulse (RAP) treatment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term (>52-weeks) efficacy and safety of RAP treatment for improvement in the appearance of cellulite. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective, multicenter trial, female participants (n = 42) with severe cellulite were treated with the acoustic subcision device in a single visit...

INTRODUCTION: Cellulite is a common esthetic concern affecting most women. Despite its prevalence, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment approach for cellulite, partly due to the complex and multifactorial nature of its pathophysiology. Understanding the underlying biological processes along with available treatment options is important to be able to effectively counsel patients on effective management of this condition. This review aims to focus on high-quality evidence behind pathophysiology of cellulite, severity and grading, and its available treatment options...

Cellulite is a common cosmetic concern among postpubertal women. Despite its high prevalence, there have been only a few high-quality studies assessing its exact prevalence, risk factors, and pathophysiologic mechanisms. It has been difficult to achieve long-lasting results with the available treatments, including topical agents, energy-based devices, subcision, and injectables. In this review, the authors summarize the proposed etiologic factors, grading scales, and treatment options. Further well-designed studies are essential to improve our knowledge of the condition and lead to improved treatment strategies...

UNLABELLED: Salmonella osteomyelitis is an underdiagnosed pathology with unusual clinical presentations. The patient was a 24-year-old female with no previous medical history who presented to the emergency department with progressive pain in the left arm for several months. She was initially treated unsuccessful with augmentin for 7 days for suspicious cellulites. Standard elbow X-rays described a lesion initially considered as metastatic. Investigations were completed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible with osteomyelitis...

BACKGROUND: The demand for body procedures is increasing, and buttocks beautification is one of the most sought-after procedures in dermatological and plastic surgery clinics. Several aspects affect the beauty of this area, including sagging, cellulite, contour irregularity, and volume reduction. This makes treatment of the area more challenging. Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which may be injected into the buttocks, stimulates local neocollagenesis, provides volume replacement, increases the strength and elasticity of the dermis, and thickens the underlying superficial fascia...

BACKGROUND: Cellulite affects 80-90% of post-pubertal females and, although cosmetic, has proven adverse psychological effects. A new compression garment with patented "vari-pad" technology has been developed, aiming to stimulate lymphatic return from the buttocks and thighs. The primary aim of this small pilot study was to assess participant satisfaction after using this garment in the short term and secondarily, to look for any objective improvements. METHODS: Eighteen female participants (mean 47...

BACKGROUND: A recent study showed the safety and efficacy of a noninvasive acoustic subcision device to improve the appearance of cellulite via delivery of rapid acoustic pulses in a single treatment visit. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of a single rapid acoustic pulse treatment visit using an equivalent number of rapid acoustic pulses at a pulse rate of 100 or 50 Hz. METHODS: This single-center, prospective study enrolled 15 adult women with moderate to severe cellulite according to the Cellulite Dimple-At Rest Scale...

BACKGROUND: Age-related changes in body skin are emerging as important therapeutic targets. A novel topical firming and toning body lotion (FTB) has been developed to target multiple pathways involved in body skin rejuvenation. METHODS: FTB was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, 12-week study in women (N=54) with mild to moderate lack of firmness on the upper arms and mild to moderate cellulite on the thighs. Investigator clinical assessments, instrumentation evaluations, and patient questionnaires were performed...

BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, the body shaping market has seen steady growth. In order to improve procedures to reduce localized fat deposits, a novel method specifically targeting subcutaneous adipose tissue was developed. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to demonstrate that a novel microwave device with a frequency of 2.45 GHz achieves visible results with greater safety and consistency in reducing adipose tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In all, 19 healthy patients (10 women and 9 men; age 24-55 years, average age 39 years) and visible abdominal fat received three microwave treatment sessions (each 4 weeks apart) using the new Onda Plus Body Shaping System (DEKA, Italy)...

BACKGROUND: The body contour market has grown steadily over the last years, due to the persistent demand for non-invasive treatments for localized fat adiposities, cellulite, and skin laxity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The purpose of this observational study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new device delivering microwaves (MWs) energy for unwanted fat and cellulite reduction after a full cycle of treatments and 1 year later. A total of 45 patients with localized adiposity and/or cellulite in different body areas (inner thigh, upper arm, abdomen, culotte de cheval, buttocks), received four treatment sessions, 4 weeks apart...

The goal of this study was the development and evaluation of semisolid caffeine (CAF) loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for topical treatment of cellulite. CAF-loaded NLC formulations were prepared via high-speed homogenization followed by ultrasonication. A 32 full factorial design was employed for formulation optimization. The total lipid content (%) and the liquid lipid content per total lipids (%) were chosen as factors, whereas particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (|ZP|) and viscosity (VIS) were selected as responses...
