A MULTILAYER APPROACH TO CELLULITE TREATMENT: A COMBINATION OF SUBCISION, COLLAGEN BIOSTIMULATION, AND STRUCTURAL FILLING – A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Cellulite, or gynoid lipodystrophy, is a multifactorial condition characterized by structural changes in the dermo-hypodermal unit, including septal fibrosis, irregular skin relief, and dermal laxity. This study aims to describe the efficacy of a combined therapeutic approach involving subcision, collagen biostimulation, and structural filling in the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite. A case report of a female patient who underwent a multimodal protocol, with clinical and photographic evaluation, was presented. Significant improvement in skin relief, reduction in the depth of depressions, and increased skin firmness were observed, without relevant complications. The multilayered approach proved effective and safe, reinforcing the importance of treatment directed at the different anatomical structures involved in the pathophysiology of cellulite.
