Strength gel with Kaempferia Parviflora Extract for improving the appearance of cellulite.

We are inviting women to participate in a research study looking at a new body gel called "Strength Gel with Kaempferia Parviflora Extract". This gel aims to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. We've done some early tests that showed the gel might work, and now we want to confirm these results more widely. This study will involve using the gel twice a day and having photos taken once a month at a study centre. We are looking for women aged 25 to 75 who have cellulite and are in good health. There are no anticipated risks, and the main benefit could be a reduction in cellulite on the treated areas. The study is run by Adipeau Inc. and involves centers in the UK, US, and Australia.

Cellulite

What is this study about?

This research study is looking into a body gel called Strength Gel with Kaempferia Parviflora Extract, which is designed to improve the look of cellulite. Cellulite is a very common skin condition where the skin has a lumpy, dimpled appearance, often on the thighs, hips, and bottom. While it's completely harmless, some people feel self-conscious about it. This study aims to find out if this new gel can make cellulite less noticeable and if it's safe for people to use.

We've already done some initial tests that suggested the gel might be effective, and no safety concerns were found during those early studies. Now, we want to conduct a larger, more thorough study to confirm these promising results. We'll be using a recognised way of measuring cellulite called the Merz cellulite dimple scale, and experts who don't know which treatment participants are using will assess the results to ensure fairness.

The study is important because it could offer a new, non-invasive way for people to manage the appearance of their cellulite. By taking part, you would be contributing to scientific understanding and potentially helping others who are looking for ways to improve the smoothness of their skin.

You cannot take part if you have certain health conditions like lipedema or lymphedema, have allergies to anything in the gel, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you expect to lose or gain a lot of weight in the next three months, you also won't be able to join the study.

What does participation involve?

If you decide to join this study, you will be asked to use the Strength Body Gel twice a day, every day. You'll apply it to a specific area of your body with cellulite. You will also need to visit one of our study centres once a month. During these visits, which are expected to be short, we will take photographs of the treated area to track any changes. The total study is expected to run for about 12 months. After the study is finished, you will receive more product to use on any untreated areas if you wish.

Potential risks and benefits

The main benefit of taking part in this study is the chance that the gel could reduce the appearance of cellulite on the treated side of your body. After the study, you'll also get more product to treat other areas if you wish. We do not expect any serious risks from using the gel. The ingredients in the gel have a very low chance of causing skin irritation, and they are not known to be harmful during pregnancy. You are free to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without it affecting your medical care.
