Summary

Cellulite is a condition that consists of an edematous infiltration of connective tissue. It has multiple factors in its etiology, making it difficult to choose just one type of treatment. Thus, aiming at greater therapeutic efficiency, the association of therapies is studied. This research aims to evaluate the Sanae method for the treatment of cellulite. The sample will feature 60 participants who have different degrees of cellulite. Initially, a pilot study will be carried out with 12 patients, divided into two groups: G1-P: 6 volunteers with grade 3 cellulite and G2-P: 6 volunteers with grade 2 cellulite. At the end of this step, the sample for the new step will include 48 people from female, who also have the same characteristics as the previous groups. Again they will be divided equally into two groups: G1: 24 volunteers with grade 3 cellulite and G2: 24 volunteers with grade 2 cellulite. Assessment protocols, photographs, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and questionnaires will be used. The treatment will take place 3 times a week for 50 minutes, and will consist of a combination of therapies such as Carboxitherapy using equipment from the Ibramed™ brand, model Aires™, phototherapy from the Ibramed™ brand, model Antares™, radiofrequency from the Ibramed® brand, the Neartek™ model and manual therapy, in addition, the volunteers will wear compressive shorts during treatment. A total of 15 sessions will be carried out and the reassessment will be carried out after the last session, with the repetition of all the exams mentioned and photos for analysis of the results.
