Pilot Trial of Kinesio Taping in Stage II Cellulite

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether kinesio taping can improve skin structure and reduce stage II cellulite in women. The study focuses on adult female participants aged 18-45 with stage II cellulite and normal BMI. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does kinesio taping increase dermis density? Does kinesio taping improve low echogenic band (LEB) thickness, an ultrasound marker of skin structure? Researchers will compare an experimental group receiving weekly fan-shaped kinesio tape applications on thighs and buttocks for four weeks to a control group that receives no intervention, to see if kinesio taping improves clinical and instrumental measures of cellulite. Participants will: Undergo baseline and follow-up assessments, including body composition, thigh circumference, cellulite stage scoring, and ultrasound of dermis density and LEB. In the experimental group, receive kinesio taping applied once weekly for four weeks on the buttocks and thighs. Return for re-evaluation immediately after the intervention and four weeks later.
