Cellulite of Thighs
Conditions
Brief summary
This prospective study is intended to evaluate the CelluTite RFAL handpiece combined with Morpheus8 handpiece for the treatment of cellulite.
Detailed description
The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of cellulite treatment using two hand pieces: * The CelluTite - based on a minimally invasive, temperature-controlled Radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology. RF energy is applied using a handpiece with 2 electrodes: internal active electrode with spatula-shaped tip and external electrode. * The Morpheus8 - designed to deliver RF energy to the skin surface in a fractional manner via an array of 24-electrode pins.

| Change in Cellulite Score Rated According to Cellulite Severity Scale (Dimples) | 6 months | Photos from 6 months follow-up visit will be evaluated. Evaluation goals are rating the degree of cellulite according to the Clinician Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale (CR-PCSS). Scale for evaluating cellulite dimples, in which a dimple is an isolated circular or oval-shaped depression on the surface of the skin. (A) Score 0 (no dimples); (B) score 1 (1 dimple); (C) score 2 (2 dimples); (D) score 3 (3 dimples); (E) score 4 (4 or more dimples). Higher values represent a worse outcome |
| Assessment of Occurrence of Adverse Events Based on Causality (Relationship to the Device or the Treatment) | 6 months | Safety will be evaluated by observation, assessment and recording of adverse events, if occur. Casualty: relationship to the device or the treatment 0 - no adverse event, 1 - not related and 2 - related to device). Higher values represent a worse outcome. |
| Change in Cellulite Score Rated According to Cellulite Severity Scale (Contour) | 6 months | Photos from 6 months follow-up visit will be evaluated. Evaluation goals are rating the degree of cellulite according to the Clinician Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale (CR-PCSS). Scale for evaluating contour irregularities. The irregularities become more severe as more concavity and convexity occur in the linear undulations. Score 0-none-no depressions ; score 1 superficial: generalized, small depressions with no protuberances; score 2 mild: pattern of mild linear undulations; score 3 moderate: pattern of moderate linear undulations with alternating areas of protuberances and depressions; score 4 severe: severe generalized linear undulations with alternating areas of protuberances and depressions. higher values represent a worse outcome |
| Assessment of Adverse Events Occurrence Based on Severity | 3 months | Safety will be evaluated by observation, assessment and recording of adverse events, if occur. Evaluations will be done based on severity (none 0, mild 1, moderate 2 or severe 3). |
