Study Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of cryolipolysis (a fat-freezing procedure) to a combination of cryolipolysis and surgical subcision (a procedure that breaks up fibrous connective tissue) for the treatment of cellulite.

Who is the study for?
Healthy women aged 18-65 with noticeable cellulite on both thighs, who can give informed consent. Excluded are those pregnant or breastfeeding, allergic to certain antibiotics or local anesthetics, taking blood thinners, have a coagulation disorder, abnormal scarring history, active skin disease/infection in the area, or cold-induced diseases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if cryolipolysis alone or combined with surgical subcision is more effective for treating cellulite. Each participant's one thigh gets cryolipolysis and the other thigh also gets subcision. A dermatologist will rate cellulite severity before treatment and after three months without knowing which thigh received which treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Cryolipolysis may cause temporary redness, swelling, bruising and pain at the treatment site. Subcision could lead to similar side effects along with potential risk of infection and abnormal scarring due to its surgical nature.
