Cellulite is a widespread aesthetical dermatological condition affecting a significant proportion of postpubertal women, characterized by dimpled skin, primarily on the thighs, buttocks, and hips, which has an important psychological impact. Cellulite, also called lipodystrophy or oedematosclerotic panniculitis, causes an aesthetic change in the skin that affects the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis and subcutaneous fat in different ways. The aim of the present prospective study research was to evaluate the efficacy of electromagnetic field and negative pressure in the treatment of cellulite.
A total of 35 women with an average age of 40, ranging from 18 to 50 (mean 32.2 ± 7.48), with a body mass index between 18.5 and 26.9 (mean 22 ± 3.01), were enrolled in this study. The degree of cellulite of the patients was assessed clinically using the Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS) and Nürnberger-Müller classification. All patients received one session per week for a total 12 treatment sessions with Bi-one LifeTouchTherapy medical device (Expo Italia Srl-Florence-Italy), which generates a combination of vacuum and electromagnetic fields (V-EMF). Total treatment time was approximately 20-30 min per patient. The GAIS score, Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS) and Nürnberger-Müller classification for cellulite was evaluated 1 month after the 12 treatments with LifeTouchTherapy.
A statistical difference was recorded in cellulite improvement by visual analog scale (VAS) and global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS).
The results of the present prospective clinical study show the efficacy and safety of Bi-one LifeTouchTherapy in the treatment of cellulite. Electromagnetic fields combined with negative pressure therapy promote tissue regeneration and reduce fibrosis, which results in visible cosmetic improvements of cellulite.
橘皮组织是一种广泛存在的美学皮肤病状况，影响着相当比例的青春期后女性，其特征为皮肤出现凹陷，主要集中在大腿、臀部和髋部，对心理有重要影响。橘皮组织，也称为脂肪营养不良或水肿性硬化性脂膜炎，会导致皮肤出现美学变化，以不同方式影响表皮、真皮、皮下组织和皮下脂肪。本前瞻性研究的目的是评估电磁场和负压治疗橘皮组织的疗效。
本研究共纳入35名平均年龄为40岁（年龄范围18至50岁，平均32.2±7.48岁）、体重指数在18.5至26.9之间（平均22±3.01）的女性。使用橘皮组织严重程度量表（CSS）和纽伦堡 - 米勒分类法对患者的橘皮组织程度进行临床评估。所有患者每周接受一次治疗，共进行12次治疗，使用Bi-one LifeTouchTherapy医疗设备（意大利佛罗伦萨的Expo Italia Srl公司），该设备可产生真空和电磁场的组合（V - EMF）。每位患者每次治疗总时间约为20 - 30分钟。在使用LifeTouchTherapy进行12次治疗后1个月，评估橘皮组织的GAIS评分、橘皮组织严重程度量表（CSS）和纽伦堡 - 米勒分类。
通过视觉模拟量表（VAS）和整体美学改善量表（GAIS）记录到橘皮组织改善存在统计学差异。
本前瞻性临床研究结果表明Bi-one LifeTouchTherapy治疗橘皮组织具有疗效和安全性。电磁场与负压疗法相结合可促进组织再生并减少纤维化，从而使橘皮组织在外观上得到明显改善。
