STUDY RESULTSThe statistical value of the results gathered 6 months after the first session is as follows:
The improvement in the type of cellulite by one type is considered very satisfactory although the cellulite continues to be visible. Modifications in weight and body contour are negligible. The average volume reduction is close to one centimetre. Long-term treatment shows results basically related with an improvement in skin quality as far as texture of orange-peel skin and flaccidity, associated or not. The patient’s comfort has been maximum compared to the accumulated experience with other systems None of the patients abandoned the treatment due to discomfort. None of the patients experienced pain, nor did they require analgesics.
No side effects were noted at all and the level of patient satisfaction was progressively better as the number of sessions increased. We should point out that the clinical improvements registered in the final control, six months after treatment, were superior in some cases to the three month results. The physician’s report on the treatment is simple and safe, with application times per session of a moderate duration and with improved clinical effects for the patients which makes this treatment highly recommendable. The progressive and distributed heating of the skin probably increases the tolerance to the total number of passes and allows for better therapeutic efficiency with high patient tolerance.
In this first study, we have contrasted the possibility of performing more therapeutic passes to optimise results, as well as a different focus on skin tightening depending on the body areas treated, probably in relation with the local features of areolar fat and reticulum skin.
