Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cellulite assessment based on DiBernardo Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale	6 Months	Cellulite assessment based on DiBernardo Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale using pre (baseline) and post-treatment Standard medical photography, having at least a mean of one-unit improvement (1-point score reduction).; This 5-point photo numeric scale rates cellulite severity from "0" (none) to "4" (severe) from a clinician's perspective
Cellulite assessment based on Clinician Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale	6 Months	Cellulite assessment based on Clinician Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale (using pre (baseline) and post treatment Standard medical photography, having at least mean of one-unit improvement (1-point score reduction).; 0 - None - No evident cellulite; 1. - Almost none - A few superficial dimples or ridges; 2. - Mild - Several dimples or ridges, of which most are superficial; 3. - Moderate - Many dimples or ridges, of which more are somewhat deep; 4. - Severe - A lot of dimples or ridges, of which many are deep, covering most of the skin area

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Investigator assessment of the skin appearance improvement	3 months	Investigator assessment of the skin appearance improvement comparing pre and post treatment using 0 - 4 -points Likert scale at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months follow up visits: 4 = Significantly marked improvement; 3 = Marked improvement; 2 = Moderate improvement; 1 = Slight improvement; 0 = No difference
Subject assessment of satisfaction	6 months	Subject assessment of satisfaction will be filled-out by subjects only using 4-points Likert scale at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months follow up visits: +2 = Very satisfied; +1 = Satisfied; -1 = Dissatisfied; -2 = Very Dissatisfied
Investigator assessment of the skin appearance	6 months	Investigator assessment of the skin appearance improvement comparing pre and post treatment using 0 - 4 -points Likert scale at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months follow up visits: 4 = Significantly marked improvement; 3 = Marked improvement; 2 = Moderate improvement; 1 = Slight improvement; 0 = No difference
Investigator assessment of the cellulite following subdermal Morpheus8 treatment	6 Months	Statistically significant improvement in global aesthetic appearance of cellulite, as assessed by PI using Global aesthetic improvement 5-point grading scale (0=No change, 1=1%-24%%, 2=25%-49%, 3=50%-74% improvement, and 4=75%-100%)
Subject assessment of improvement	6 months	Subject assessment of improvement using 0 - 4 -points Likert scale at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months follow up visits: 4 = Significantly marked improvement; 3 = Marked improvement; 2 = Moderate improvement; 1 = Slight improvement; 0 = No change
Investigator assessment of the skin appearance improvemen	1 month	Investigator assessment of the skin appearance improvement comparing pre and post treatment using Global aesthetic improvement 4-point grading scale (0=No tightening/firmness, 1= Slightly visible tightening/firmness, 2= Visible tightening/firmness, 3= Very visible tightening/firmness) at all follow up visits.
