A study was conducted in the year 2009 in Thailand by the Clinical Research Organisation Dermscan Asia, to look at the effect of a 3% topical cream application of SLIMALUMA™ on the fat nodes caused by cellulitis in adult women.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
20 female subjects with Cellulitis on their thighs [ age group 36 plus or minus 2 as mean ] were treated with a cream containnig 3% SLIMALUMA™
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The subjects acted as their own control, with placebo cream being applied on one part of the thigh and SLIMALUMA™ cream being applied on another part of the thigh.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
After 84 days of application the product showed a significant decrase in the average volume of the fat nodes on the spots applied, characterising the anti-fat node effects of the product. This reduces the fat nodes formed due to cellulitis.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
All the participants had reduction in fat nodes and the reduction in fat nodes was higher in the places where the SLIMALUMA™ cream was applied, compared to the places were the placebo cream was applied. This seems to suggest that the product has potential to reduce fat nodes by topical application on the spots affected.

The variations of the different parameters characterizing the fat nodes were studied by analysis of skin prints using PRIMOS Compact® Phaseshift Rapid In-Vivo Measurement of Skin - GFM - Germany. |
|
| |
|
|

Polymer Silicone skin prints [ Siflo® ] were taken of the studied zones, before and at each time of measurement and studied using the PRIMOS 3D Compact. This technique consists in calculating a phase image from interference fringe protection images. This image then allows to raise the height of each of the points. The acquistition software allows to obtain 2D and 3D measurements and to determine the parameters of cutaneous releif on 32 radiuses on a circle localised on the zone of interest. An automatic system of repositioning allows the precise identification of the zone of measurement. The method takes into account the three dimensions of the fat nodes to deduce geometric parameters such as average releif, maximum amplitude and average volume.
