Abstract

Background: Noninvasive acoustic subcision uses rapid acoustic pulse (RAP) treatment to disrupt subdermal and dermal fibrous tissue, thereby improving cellulite appearance. A prior multicenter study showed that 1 RAP treatment improved cellulite appearance 12 weeks after treatment.

Objective: To evaluate whether treatment with acoustic subcision improved skin laxity appearance in participants with skin laxity seeking treatment for cellulite appearance.

Methods and materials: This retrospective study used images collected from a prior study that evaluated adult participants ( n = 51) with severe cellulite on ≥1 thigh and/or buttock at baseline and 12 weeks after 1 RAP treatment. Outcomes included proportion of participants who achieved clinical improvement in skin laxity appearance via correct identification (≥60%) of blinded, randomized pretreatment and post-treatment photos; Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) responder rates ("improved" or "much improved") for skin laxity by ≥2 of three physician reviewers 12 weeks post-treatment.

Results: Among 51 participants, the mean age was 43 years. At least two of three physicians correctly identified 90.2% of photo sets (pretreatment vs week 12 post-treatment; 95% CI: 78.6%‒96.7%). GAIS responder rate was 80.4% (95% CI: 66.9%‒90.2%).

Conclusion: RAP treatment targeting cellulite also improved the appearance of skin laxity.

单次声学切开术治疗脂肪团后皮肤松弛改善的回顾性研究。

背景：无创声学切除术使用快速声脉冲（RAP）治疗来破坏真皮下和真皮纤维组织，从而改善脂肪团的外观。先前的一项多中心研究表明，1个RAP治疗在治疗后12周改善了脂肪团的外观。目的：评价声学降压治疗是否能改善皮肤松弛患者寻求脂肪团外观治疗的皮肤松弛。方法和材料：本回顾性研究使用从先前研究中收集的图像，该研究评估了在基线和1次RAP治疗后12周时大腿和/或臀部有严重脂肪团的成年参与者（n = 51）。结果包括通过正确识别盲法、随机预处理和治疗后照片获得皮肤松弛外观临床改善的参与者比例（≥60%）；治疗后12周，三名医师中至少有两名对皮肤松弛的全球审美改善量表（GAIS）反应率（“改善”或“大大改善”）。结果：51名参与者平均年龄43岁。三名医生中至少有两名正确识别了90.2%的照片组(前处理vs后12周；95% ci: 78.6%-96.7%)。GAIS应答率为80.4% （95% CI: 66.9% ~ 90.2%）。结论：针对脂肪团的RAP治疗也改善了皮肤松弛的外观。
