| Περίληψη: | Background: Aging associated with the passage of time causes alterations in subcutaneous tissues and the overall appearance of the skin that generate aesthetic unconformities in people. Within the wide range of available techniques on the market, radiofrequency (RF) diathermy has emerged as one of the most used non-invasive methods to combat them. Objective: This clinical trial aims to determine and quantify the effectiveness and safety of the high-frequency RF-based device Symmed (Termosalud Inc., Gijón, Spain) in cellulite appearance improvement and thigh remodeling treatments. Material and Methods: Eight sessions of Symmed were performed every 72/96 h in eight subjects' thighs. Safety and effectiveness of the device were evaluated before and after the treatments by digital photographs, body contours measurements, and ultrasound images of skin echogenicity and fat tissue thickness. Information regarding the satisfaction level of the participants was obtained throughout a customized questionnaire. Results: After the treatments, significant reductions of 3% in thighs circumferences (p < 0.05) and 20% in subcutaneous fat layer thickness (p < 0.01) were detected. Dermal echogenicity, used as an indicator of skin organization and collagen content, showed a significant 6% increase (p < 0.05). Before and after photographs revealed a general improvement in skin appearance. The results were complemented by a high satisfaction level (100%) and the absence of adverse events. Conclusion: Symmed RF therapy is a non-invasive, safe, effective, and well-tolerated procedure for the treatment of thighs cellulite appearance and body remodeling. (© 2025 The Author(s).
