Product Description
A 38-year-old female patient with Fitzpatrick skin type (FST) IV presents with the chief complaint of rippling, dimpling, and contour irregularities in the buttocks and horizontal undulations in the posterior thighs. She is interested in undergoing treatment for cellulite and other contour irregularities of the buttocks. The patient has no history of lymphedema, obesity, or hormonal imbalance. She had first noticed signs of cellulite in her early 20s, despite maintaining stable weight and regular exercise. As a result, she attempted numerous topical therapies combined with vigorous massage, including a fascia massage tool, but found no improvement. The patient has a prior history of hyperpigmentation and poor scar formation. Furthermore, she is not a smoker with no known drug allergies.
