A Retrospective Pragmatic Longitudinal Case-Series Clinical Study to Evaluate the Clinical Outcome of Triple-Frequency Ultrasound in Treatment of Cellulite
The average values of CR-PCSS (T1), CR-PCSS (T2) and CR-PCSS (T3) over all participants were 2.22±0.82, 1.18±0.77, and 0.84±0.77, respectively, which corresponded to the skin improvement between T1 and T2 of 0.93±0.27 (p < 0.0001) as well as between T1 and T3 of 1.38±0.47 (p < 0.0001). Assessment of elasticity of the dermis and adipose tissue on the basis of the 5-grade coloration scale revealed significant reinforcement of both tissues as well as of the superficial fascia at follow-up as compared to their baseline values. The obtained treatment outcomes were long-lasting and could be clearly observed even in individuals with a long-term follow-ups. Assessment of the satisfaction of participants with the treatment results revealed a high satisfaction of 8.95 ± 1.49. The method demonstrated no side effects, was pain-free, well-tolerated, and highly accepted by patients.
