Efficacy evaluation of the compression microvibration method in the treatment of cellulite

Abstract

Aim. To study the efficiency of compression microvibration method for correcting structural and functional skin changes in women with gynoid lipodystrophy by analyzing the dynamics of blood microcirculation parameters.Materials and methods. The study involved 27 women aged 40 to 69 years with mild and moderate gynoid lipodystrophy. The Endospheres Therapy course included 12 procedures, 2 times a week for 60 minutes. Before and after the course of therapy the dynamics of microcirculation compartments was evaluated by laser Doppler flowmetry using LAZMA PF, a portable laser blood microcirculation analyzer. Results. The perfusion parameters after the 12th procedure of compression microvibration showed statistically significant increase in basal blood flow parameters and amplitude-frequency spectrum of perfusion oscillations reflecting active and passive mechanisms of microcirculatory channel regulation.Conclusion. The results of positive dynamics of the microcirculatory channel parameters testify to the high efficiency of Endospheres Therapy in the treatment of gynoid lipodystrophy. The method of laser Doppler flowmetry allows objectifying the level of dysfunction of the microcirculatory system and provides personalized control over the adequacy and effectiveness of treatment.
