Treatment of cellulite : Part II. Advances and controversies - 24/04/13
Abstract |
Treatments for localized adiposities range from topical creams to liposuction. Most treatments lack a substantial proof of efficacy. The unpredictable treatment outcome can be related to the fact that cellulite adipose tissue is physiologically and biochemically different from subcutaneous tissue found elsewhere in the body. Part II of this two-part series on cellulite reviews the various treatment options that are currently available for human adipose tissue including, but not limited to, cellulite. It also focuses on newer techniques that can be potentially useful in the future for the treatment of cellulite.
Learning objectives |
After completing this learning activity, participants should be able to understand the wide range of treatments available for localized adiposities including, but not limited to, cellulite-prone areas, know the differences in their mechanisms of action and be able to make the most appropriate decision for patient care, and discuss and understand newer treatments for cellulite that are still being investigated along with the physiologic and biochemical basis for their mechanisms of action.
