    Study on the effectiveness of algae mud treatment for cellulite

    Cellulite is a common, multifactorial condition that affects almost all women and is now recognized as a clinical condition associated with systemic factors and negative psychological effects. Several non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments have been developed in recent years, but many of these are only supported by limited scientific evidence due to lack of evidence, insufficient numbers of participants and potential side effects.

    The aim of this study from the University of Chieti-Pescara was to evaluate the effectiveness of an algal mud treatment in improving the structure and function of tissues affected by cellulite. Sixty women with cellulite underwent treatment with algae mud on the thighs and buttocks over a period of 4 weeks. The following assessments were performed at baseline and after the last treatment: photographic, clinical and anthropometric evaluation; elasticity and hydration tests; ultrasound examination of the cellulite nodules; and cellulite biopsies in the trochanteric region. Patient satisfaction was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire.

    The treatment resulted in a significant improvement in the severity of cellulite between the initial assessment and the 4-week follow-up, with improved structure, elasticity and hydration of the affected tissue. Microscopic analysis of cellulite biopsies showed significant restoration of dermal organization with induced collagen synthesis and reduced inflammation, edema and lipid deposition after the 4-week algae mud treatments. In addition, the treatment led to a remarkable improvement in comfort and satisfaction as well as a reduction in body circumferences.

    The cosmetic treatment of algae mud has proven to be asafe, non-invasive treatment to improve the tissue changes that are typical of cellulite.
