研究概览
简要总结
Aim of this study was to evaluate by clinical, morphometric and non invasive instrumental evaluations the activity of an "anticellulitis" cosmetic product vs a reference product of the market (comparison within subjects), applied once a day, for an uninterrupted period of 4 weeks, on 22 female healthy volunteers with low/moderate oedematous - fibrosclerotic lipodystrophy on the thighs.
It was also aim of the study to evaluate cosmetic acceptability by the volunteers and products efficacy and tolerance both by investigator and volunteers.

结局指标
主要结局
Morphometric evaluations: change from baseline (T2 and T4 vs. T0)
时间窗: after 2 and 4 week-treatment
All the measures were performed in standard conditions at level of the thigh (III superior, III middle and inferior), thanks to a specific electro-optical system.
次要结局
- Skin plastoelasticity: change from baseline (T2 and T4 vs. T0)(after 2 and 4 week-treatment)
- Thermography evaluation: change from baseline (T2 and T4 vs. T0)(after 2 and 4 week-treatment)
- Ultrasonographic evaluations: change from baseline (T2 and T4 vs. T0)(after 2 and 4 week-treatment)
- Optical densitometry: change from baseline (T2 and T4 vs. T0)(after 2 and 4 week-treatment)
- Clinical evaluations: change from baseline (T2 and T4 vs. T0)(after 2 and 4 week-treatment)
- Tissue dielectric constant of deep skin layers: change from baseline (T2 and T4 vs. T0)(after 2 and 4 week-treatment)
