Abstract The main objectives of the study was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of lipomassage endermologie technique versus monopolar radiofrequency as a treatment modality for minimizing cellulite formation. Methods: This study included 45 female patients with cellulite at their abdomen. They were divided into three equal groups 15 patient for every group. group A received lipomassage endermologie therapy. group B received monopolar radiofrequency therapy.group C received manual lymphatic drainge therapy. Skin fold and appearance of skin were used to investigate cellulite. Both parameters were measured before the treatment (Pre) and at the end of the treatment (post) after six weeks for the three groups using skin fold caliper and cellulite grading scale. Results: There was significant decrease in cellulite in mono polar radio frequency group ( group B ) compared to lipomassage endermologie therapy group ( group A ). Conclusion: In relation to cellulite grading scale and skin fold caliper the study revealed that the results obtained in mono polar radio frequency ( group B ) were superior to that of lipomassage endermologie therapy ( group A) and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (group C) , also results of lipomassage endermologie therapy ( group A) were superior to that of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (group C). |
