ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring a special compression garment designed to help reduce the appearance of cellulite in women. The garment features unique micro-dots called "Vari-pads" that are believed to improve lymphatic drainage, which may enhance the effects of the compression. Participants in the study will wear the garment, with only one side containing the active Vari-pads, for at least 8 hours a day. They will be monitored over six months and, if they notice a difference between the two sides, they will be invited to come in for an assessment and receive a garment with Vari-pads on both sides.
To join this study, you must be a biological female over 18 years old, have cellulite on your buttocks or upper thighs, and be able to walk normally. The study is looking for 60 volunteers, and there are specific size categories available: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. However, women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or undergoing other cellulite treatments cannot participate. Overall, this trial offers a chance to potentially see improvement in the appearance of cellulite while wearing a specially designed garment.
