Clinical Trial Summary

Cellulite is the rippling or dimpling of the skin most commonly located on the thighs and buttocks of women. Its appearance and texture are often likened to that of "cottage cheese" or an orange peel. Rapid Acoustic Pulse (RAP) is an electrohydraulic (EH) device developed to improve the appearance of cellulite through microscopic disruption of the connection between the skin and underlying tissue leading to a reduction in the severity of dimples and ridges. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and effectiveness of RAP in adults seeking treatment of cellulite. RAP is an FDA approved device for the short-term improvement in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thighs. Participants 18-50 years of age seeking treatment of cellulite will be enrolled. Up to 15 participants will be enrolled in the study at 1 site in the United States. Participants will receive 3 separate cellulite treatment sessions. Each treatment session will consist of RAP treatment delivered to bilateral thigh and/or buttock areas using the same treatment settings for both sides. The study duration is up to 72 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
