“…MRI actually demonstrates thicker fibrous septae in cellulite areas when compared to "normal" areas [11]. Other MRI findings have shown a great increase in the thickness of the inner (lamellar) fat layer in women with cellulite in addition to a higher percentage of tortuous septae oriented in a direction perpendicular to the skin surface [12].…”

“…The fi brous septa analyzed were all perpendicular to the skin surface. Furthermore, they were present in 96.7 % of the areas with cellulite depressions, while the percentage to those areas without cellulite was 16.7 % [ 12 ] . Under the in fl uence of estrogen, fat is stored in women's buttocks and thighs.…”

“…If the amount of collagen destroyed is enough to weaken the reticular and papillary dermis, it will allow subcutaneous dermis to herniate among the structural fi brous septa found in female fat. If higher amount of subcutaneous fat is present, there will be a more pronounced herniation [ 12 ] . The skin laxity, a condition which is also related to the aging process, worsens the cellulite.…”

Elements that seem to be involved in cellulite's appearance are: adipocyte • hypertrophy, connective tissue abnormalities, fi brous septa, and hormonal in fl uences.A new cellulite severity scale (CSS) and classi fi cation was recently devel-• oped. The CSS considers relevant morphological aspects, such as the number of evident depressions, depth of depressions, aspect of raised areas, grade of laxity, fl accidity or sagging skin, and the previous cellulite scale. Diagnosis is mainly clinical although magnetic resonance imaging, laser • Doppler fl owmetry, thermography, and ultrasound can be used for research purposes.A series of treatments can treat or improve the appearance of cellulite, such • as topical products, oral supplements, devices (mechanical massage, lasers, light sources, radiofrequency, and other technologies), and surgical procedures (Subcision ® and liposuction).

“…Until present, the stage of cellulite development has been usually assessed using palpation (and specifically developed scales), macrophotography or termography [4,[8][9][10]. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound scanning were also tried [6,11,12]. However, due to economic reasons and accessibility, it is only the ultrasound scanning which can become more widespread.…”

The purpose of the research was to evaluate the role of high frequency ultrasound in monitoring and efficacy assessment of anti-cellulite treatments. A group of 66 women used 3 different types of anti-cellulite treatments; additionally a placebo group (n = 18) was created. The µ-Scan ultrasound device with a 35 MHz mechanical probe was used for the examinations. The following parameters were subjected to the ultrasound evaluation: epidermis thickness, dermis thickness, dermis echogenicity, the length and area of subcutaneous tissue bands projecting into the dermis (dermis-hypodermis junction), as well as the presence/absence of edema within the dermis. As a result of anti-cellulite treatment, the length and area of dermis-hypodermis junction significantly decreased, and dermis echogenicity significantly increased. Ultrasound imaging made it possible to evaluate the efficacy of the applied treatments. The high frequency ultrasound is a useful imaging technique for the application in aesthetic dermatology and cosmetology.
