Аннотация: (English) This article reviews various hardware methods used to treat cellulite, improve skin tone and model body contours. The main goal of the work was to show how these approaches differ from each other and what clinical results can be expected when using them, based on the analysis of already published studies. Standard scientific approaches were used in the work - analysis and generalization of data, comparison of results and systematization of information from various sources. The results obtained indicate that hardware methods for correcting cellulite differ significantly both in terms of mechanisms of action and in the severity and duration of the effect. Radiofrequency therapy mainly affects the dermis, promoting collagen remodeling and increasing skin elasticity, but its ability to eliminate cellulite depressions is usually limited. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy demonstrates a noticeable reduction in the severity of cellulite, which is associated with improved microcirculation and activation of regenerative processes in tissues, although the optimal regimens for its use remain the subject of further research. Mechanical vacuum-assisted therapy provides rapid visual improvement by reducing swelling and congestion, but this effect is usually temporary and requires regular repetition of procedures. Laser techniques, in turn, have proven to be a heterogeneous group: low-intensity laser therapy gives conflicting results, while laser-assisted subcision demonstrates a more stable improvement in skin structure and a reduction in cellulite, especially in the thighs and buttocks. Vibration exercises mainly affect muscle activity and body composition, so it is advisable to consider them as an auxiliary element in complex programs, and not as an independent method of cellulite correction. Subcision, although it is the most invasive approach, shows the most pronounced effect in cases of deep cellulite indentations, since it directly eliminates the mechanical factors of their formation. The practical significance of the analysis is that it allows a more reasoned approach to the choice of hardware techniques, adapting the treatment tactics to the type of cellulite, skin condition and expected clinical result, which is key for individualized correction.
