Official Title: Clinical Effects of the Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (rESWT) Using the EMS Swiss Dolorclast and the Power+ Handpiece for Local Treatment of Cellulite

Brief Summary: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been successfully introduced into the treatment of cellulite over the last years. The purpose of this study is to test the following hypotheses: (i) cellulite can be efficiently and safely treated using the radial extracorporeal shock wave device, Swiss Dolorclast (Electro Medical Systems S.A., Nyon, Switzerland); and (ii) the individual clinical outcome of cellulite treatment with ESWT can be predicted by means of the patient's individual cellulite grade at baseline, the patient's individual age, body mass index (BMI), weight, and/or height.
