Cellulite is a common aesthetic condition that affects almost every woman.
To evaluate the efficacy of acoustic wave therapy (AWT) for cellulite and body shaping.
In this open-label, single-centre trial, 30 women presenting moderate or severe cellulite underwent 12 sessions of AWT on the gluteus and back of the thighs, over six weeks. The following assessments were performed at baseline, and up to 12 weeks after treatment: Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS), body circumference measurements, subcutaneous fat thickness by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), quality of life related by Celluqol and a satisfaction questionnaire.
The treatment reduced cellulite severity from baseline up to 12 weeks after the last treatment session (subjects presenting severe cellulite: 60% to 38%). The mean CSS shifted from 11.1 to 9.5 (p < 0.001). Hips circumferences reduced from 99.7 and 103.2 cm to 96.2 and 100.3 cm (respectively, p < 0.001). The average thickness of the subcutaneous fat tissue also decreased (28.3 ± 6.5 mm to 26.7 ± 6.1mm; p < 0.001). The treatment also improved quality of life. More than 90% of the subjects would undergo the treatment again and 89% were satisfied with the results. No serious adverse events were reported.
AWT is a safe treatment to improve cellulite appearance and reduce body circumferences.
橘皮组织是一种常见的美容问题，几乎影响到每一位女性。
评估声波疗法（AWT）对橘皮组织和身体塑形的疗效。
在这项开放标签的单中心试验中，30名患有中度或重度橘皮组织的女性在六周内接受了12次针对臀部和大腿后部的AWT治疗。在基线时以及治疗后长达12周进行了以下评估：橘皮组织严重程度量表（CSS）、身体周长测量、通过磁共振成像（MRI）测量皮下脂肪厚度、由Celluqol评估的生活质量以及一份满意度调查问卷。
从基线到最后一次治疗后12周，治疗降低了橘皮组织的严重程度（患有严重橘皮组织的受试者：从60%降至38%）。CSS的平均值从11.1降至9.5（p<0.001）。臀围从99.7厘米和103.2厘米分别降至96.2厘米和100.3厘米（p均<0.001）。皮下脂肪组织的平均厚度也有所下降（从28.3±6.5毫米降至26.7±6.1毫米；p<0.001）。治疗还改善了生活质量。超过90%的受试者愿意再次接受治疗，89%的受试者对结果感到满意。未报告严重不良事件。
AWT是一种安全的治疗方法，可改善橘皮组织外观并减小身体周长。
