TLDR The MIRA technique improves cellulite treatment results and patient satisfaction.
The study evaluated the MIRA technique, a personalized cellulite treatment using ultrasound imaging, in 120 women with stage 3 cellulite. Compared to standard treatments, MIRA significantly reduced adipose tissue thickness, pain prevalence, nodules, and edema, while improving fascia regularity and reducing fibrosis. Adipose tissue thickness decreased notably in both CDTMIRA and ISTMIRA groups, and pain prevalence dropped significantly. Patient satisfaction and skin quality were higher in the MIRA group, with a substantial reduction in cellulite appearance. Despite promising results, the study's retrospective nature and short follow-up limit long-term efficacy conclusions, necessitating larger, prospective trials for confirmation.
