The aim of this study was to determine how worthwhile it would be to combine a newly developed topical slimming product with customized dietary habits not based on calorie restriction, so as to improve the cellulite appearance of the skin. At the beginning of the study, a nutritionist recorded the dietary habits of each participant and gave recommendations to each of them according to their food consumption. The chosen methodology was a right/left comparison, one thigh and hip being treated with the new topical slimming product and the other one left untreated to serve as a random control. Objective evaluations were performed by blind assessors. Control of food intake improved the cellulite score after 4 weeks when compared with the base value, but this reduction was significantly greater and earlier on the treated side than on the untreated side, indicating an objective additional benefit derived from the new slimming cream. This result corroborated the slimming effect assessed by measurement in centimetres of the circumference of the upper thighs and the reconstructed volume of the thigh between two fixed horizontal slices. Furthermore, skin tonicity, a major component of cellulite visibility, was also significantly improved on the treated side after only 2 weeks. This new topical cream thus enhances the benefit of a dietetic control for the treatment of the visible aspect of cellulite on the skin.
本研究旨在确定将新开发的局部瘦身产品与非基于热量限制的定制饮食习惯相结合，以改善皮肤的橘皮外观是否值得。研究开始时，营养师记录了每位参与者的饮食习惯，并根据他们的食物消费情况为每位参与者提供了建议。所选方法是左右比较，一条大腿和臀部用新的局部瘦身产品治疗，另一条未经处理作为随机对照。客观评估由盲法评估员进行。与基线值相比，4 周时控制食物摄入可改善橘皮评分，但治疗侧的减少幅度明显大于且早于未治疗侧，表明新瘦身霜具有客观的额外益处。这一结果证实了通过测量大腿上部周长和两个固定水平切片之间的大腿重建体积评估的瘦身效果。此外，仅在 2 周后，治疗侧的皮肤紧度（橘皮外观的主要组成部分）也得到了显著改善。这种新的局部乳膏因此增强了饮食控制对皮肤橘皮外观可见度的治疗效果。
