Unaddressed in the studies on ESWT/RSWT for cellulite carried out to date is whether the individual clinical outcome of the therapy can be predicted by means of the patient's cellulite grade at baseline, age, body mass index (BMI), weight, height, and/or age. This was addressed in the present study using RSWT. We hypothesized that the individual clinical outcome of RSWT for cellulite can be predicted by means of the patient's cellulite grade at baseline and the patient's BMI.
