PCR conducts advanced anti-cellulite clinical trials using objective, non-invasive evaluation methods including macrophotography and ultrasound imaging to assess skin firmness and texture.
Cellulite Product Testing
What you can expect:
Cellulite is a common cosmetic concern characterised by a dimpled or uneven appearance of the skin, most frequently observed on the thighs, hips, and buttocks.
Anti-cellulite product testing is designed to assess changes in the visible appearance of skin texture and smoothnessfollowing topical product use.
Studies typically combine expert clinical evaluation, volunteer assessment, and objective instrumental measurements to provide a comprehensive view of product performance.
PCR utilises a range of established, non-invasive assessment techniques depending on study design, including:
- Standardised clinical scoring by trained assessors
- Volunteer self-assessment feedback
- Macrophotography for high-resolution visual comparison
- Ultrasound imaging to assess subdermal and structural skin characteristics
- Circumference measurements (where appropriate to protocol design)
- Skin elasticity and firmness measurements
These methods allow for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of changes in skin appearance over time.
Key Assessment Criteria
PCR routinely evaluates anti-cellulite products for changes in:
- Appearance of “orange peel” skin texture
- Skin smoothness and surface roughness
- Degree of visible dimpling
- Overall appearance of cellulite on treated areas
