High-Frequency Ultrasound in the Assessment of Cellulite-Correlation between Ultrasound-Derived Measurements, Clinical Assessment, and Nurnberger-Muller Scale Scores.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cellulite is a cosmetic defect of multifactorial etiology that affects over 90% of women worldwide. Cellulite-induced skin changes are undesirable and negatively affect self-esteem. Despite a plethora of cellulite-reducing treatments, we still lack objective tools to enable accurate diagnosis and treatment efficacy assessment. The aim of this study was to determine whether high-frequency ultrasound can be helpful in assessing cellulite and whether there is an association between ultrasound-derived measurements, parameters ascertained clinically, and cellulite assessment scale scores.

Methods

The study group consisted of 114 women with cellulite in their posterior thighs, assessed using the Nürnberger-Müller scale. Two types of ultrasound devices were used in this
