ABSTRACT
Abstract Treatment of cellulite constitutes a challenge for dermatologists. We are showing good results for this condition in 30 women a er only ve sessions of Golden Li ®, which is a modi cation of Golden Peel Plus® (Jessner’s solution plus 53% resorcin and 10% glycolic acid). Assessment was made through subjective evaluation, photographs, circumferencial measurements, and ultrasonographic evaluation. “T” Test in before and a er cases showed a statistically signi cant improvement: P 0.01
Introduction Cellulite is synonymous with edematous panniculopathy, brosclerosis and genetic lipodystrophy. It is seen especially in females and very rarely in males. e areas most commonly a ected are the outer thighs and gluteal region [1,2]. “Orange peel aspect” of the skin is the term most commonly used by patients to describe cellulite. Its diagnosis is easy, but treatment is di cult and o en disappointing. A number of local and non-surgical treatments have been used, among them ca eine, theophylline, aminophylline, lactic acid, tretinoin, botanic extract mixtures, neuropeptide Y and peptide YY, as well as bio-actif alpha and Y, either alone or in combination, with variable results [4-6]. Cellulite does not respond easily to body weight loss [7]. Massage and skin kneading known as endermologie, open surgery and super cial liposuction have also been used, with uneven results [3-7].Subcision, a procedure popularized worldwide by Doris Hexsel, has also been used with very good results. It is fully explained in other chapters of this book.
