Cellulite is an irregular alteration of the skin surface giving it cottage cheese appearance. Carboxytherapy is transcutaneous infusion of carbon dioxide into the affected site. Mesolipolysis aims to remove cellulite and improve skin texture.
To verify the efficacy and safety of carboxytherapy versus mesolipolysis using phosphatidylcholine (PPC) in treatment of cellulite in thighs area.
Forty-eight female patients with different grades of cellulite at thighs area were enrolled in this study. They were classified into two groups: group A received subcutaneous infusion of carboxytherapy, and group B was treated with mesolipolysis using PPC. Each group received six sessions at weekly intervals. sessions. The outcome measures and clinical assessment were based on cellulite grading scale and thigh circumference measurements. Standardized digital photography was taken before and after treatment. Patients were followed up for 6 months.
After treatment, there was significant reduction in thigh circumference measurement p < 0.01 and cellulite grading scale p < 0.001 in both groups. The difference in cellulite grading scale and thigh circumference measurement in both groups was insignificant.
Carboxytherapy and mesolipolysis are safe and effective in cellulite treatment. Carboxytherapy is a promising alternative therapeutic modality for cellulite treatment.
橘皮组织是皮肤表面的一种不规则改变，使其呈现出 cottage cheese 的外观。羧基疗法是将二氧化碳经皮注入受影响部位。中胚层溶脂术旨在消除橘皮组织并改善皮肤质地。
验证羧基疗法与使用磷脂酰胆碱（PPC）的中胚层溶脂术在治疗大腿部位橘皮组织方面的疗效和安全性。
本研究纳入了 48 名大腿部位有不同程度橘皮组织的女性患者。她们被分为两组：A 组接受皮下羧基疗法注入，B 组接受使用 PPC 的中胚层溶脂术治疗。每组每周接受一次，共六次治疗。结果测量和临床评估基于橘皮组织分级量表和大腿周长测量。治疗前后进行标准化数码摄影。对患者进行 6 个月的随访。
治疗后，两组的大腿周长测量值均显著降低（p < 0.01），橘皮组织分级量表得分也显著降低（p < 0.001）。两组在橘皮组织分级量表和大腿周长测量方面的差异不显著。
羧基疗法和中胚层溶脂术在治疗橘皮组织方面是安全有效的。羧基疗法是一种有前景的橘皮组织治疗替代方法。
