Abstract

The treatment of cellulite, a major cosmetic concern for many women, remains challenging. Although a number of studies have investigated the effects of a wide range of products/procedures on cellulite-related endpoints, most of these studies have important methodological flaws. At present, there is no clear clinical evidence that any evaluated treatments have good efficacy in reducing cellulite, with the most promising results shown with acoustic wave therapy.
