Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Usually it affects women, influencing their physical and psychological well-being.
The Aesthetic Physiotherapy, known as Aesthetics Plastic and Restorative Physiotherapy, is in their beginnings, there are little studies which present this pathology from the physiotherapy perspective. The investigators believe that their research could make some progress in this matter.
The search found very few clinical trials of scientific rigor about radio frequency and cavitation, and The investigators didn't find studies that compare both. Both treatments show effectiveness in improving the appearance of cellulite, so it would be a good idea compare them and see the most effective.
The investigators are trying to compare the effectiveness of both techniques and the investigators consider innovative and with added value to investigate something that we haven´t found in the reviewed literature.
The investigators choose 20 women randomly, 40 sample subjects, between 18-40 years old. These women must keep the inclusion criteria.
The participants attend a first date where the investigators collect the necessary data, and they are valued before and after the treatment (perimetry, photographic, Nürnberger and Müller scale, weight, height, BMI).
Then each patient receive treatment, seven non-consecutive sessions Diathermy-Radiofrequency on one leg (gluteal zone, internal and lateral zone, posterior and anterior zone) and other 7 sessions of Cavitation in the other leg, and Presotherapy in both legs.
The investigators also advice the participants about their diet and exercise.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental or Diathermy-Radiofrecuency
All patients are given a Combined Physiotherapy Protocol (CPP) consisting of: Diathermy-Radiofrecuency (manual 70% intensity of about 40-43º resistive modality for about 30 minutes and authomatic capacitive modality for about 10 minutes) and application of Presotherapy (intensity 35%, compression 35seg, pause 15 seg, speed 9, for about 30 minutes). Non-invasive treatment
Experimental group
Cavitation: 70% intensity, 30 minutes apply plane electrode and 10 minutes focal electrode.
Presotherapy: 30 minutes application of 35% intensity, compression 35seg, pause 15seg, speed 9
Control or Cavitation
All patients are given a Combined Physiotherapy Protocol (CPP) consisting of: Cavitation (plane electrode for about 30 minutes and focal electrode for about 10 minutes) at 70% intensity and application of Presotherapy (intensity 35%, compression 35seg, pause 15 seg, speed 9, for about 30 minutes). Non-invasive treatment
Control group
Diathermy-Radiofrecuency: 30 minutes at 70% intensity (40-43ºC) in manual resistive modality and 10 minutes in automatic capacitive modality.
Presotherapy: 30 minutes application of 35% intensity, compression 35seg, pause 15seg, speed 9
