BACKGROUND The gynoidlypodystrophy, known as cellulitis or cellulite, refers to a condition that gives the skin an undulating and uneven appearance, affecting 80-90% of women after puberty. OBJECTIVES to investigate the efficacy and safety of manual lymphatic drainage for cellulite management. METHODS this was an open, prospective, intervention study including 20 women aged from 20 to 40 ye...

INTRODUCTION Focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been demonstrated to improve wound healing and skin regeneration such as in burn wounds and scars. We hypothesized that the combination of focused ESWT and a daily gluteal muscle strength program is superior to SHAM-ESWT and gluteal muscle strength training in moderate to severe cellulite. METHODS This was a single-center, doubl...

INTRODUCTION: High-intensity focused electromagnetic field treatment (HIFEM) uses low-frequency waves to induce supramaximal muscle contractions, causing hypertrophy and reducing fat. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of a HIFEM for improvement cellulite on buttocks. METHODS: Thirty patients were divided into two groups that received eight or 12 sessions buttocks six weeks. We assessed in butto...

In the last decade, Radiofrequency (RF) energy has proven to be safe and highly efficacious for face and neck skin tightening, body contouring, and cellulite reduction. In contrast to first-generation Monopolar/Bipolar and "X -Polar" RF systems which use one RF generator connected to one or more skin electrodes, multisource radiofrequency devices use six independent RF generators allowing effic...

BACKGROUND Most post-pubertal women exhibit cellulite, particularly in the thigh and buttock regions. The prevalence of cellulite has led to many attempts at treatment, including a variety of topical solutions, massage-based therapies, and surgical techniques--most with suboptimal clinical effects. The purpose of this controlled study was to evaluate a novel combination device involving radiofr...
