Non-Surgical Body Contouring: Introduction of a New Non-Invasive Device for Long-Term Localized Fat Reduction and Cellulite Improvement Using Controlled, Suction Coupled, Radiofrequency Heating and High Voltage Ultra-Short Electrical Pulses

Materials and methods: 24 female and 1 male patients were enrolled in the study. The age range of the patients was 28-62 years old and an average BMI was 26. All patients underwent focal shape correction, without anticipating any weight reduction and 14/24 patients also had posterior or anterior grade 2 or 3 thigh cellulite treated. The patients underwent a 6-treatment protocol where they were treated with a novel RF device on the abdominal and flank regions once a week over a period of 6 weeks. 14 patients also had cellulite on their posterior or anterior thigh treated with the same device and a 6-treatment, once weekly protocol. Therapeutic thermal end points for each treatment were established and achieved as outlined in the paper. The RF device emits both basic RF and ultra-short High Voltage Pulsing (HVP). All patients and zones were treated once per week for 6 weeks.
