- Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous and percutaneous lipolysis by electrical stimulation in the treatment of localized adiposity in the abdominal region and flanks. The sample consisted of 18 volunteer, female, 20 to 30 years old. We first performed a clinical evaluation, bioelectrical impedance analysis and perimetric measures. The treatment was performed once a week, totaling 10 sessions. The sample was divided into three groups: Group 1, composed of volunteers who did not receive treatment, Group 2, treatment with transcutaneous electric stimulation mode (silicon electrodes) and Group 3, with the use of percutaneous stimulation (needle). After the treatment the volunteers were evaluated again. For comparison of pre- and post-treatment in each group was used the Student t test. The results of Group 1 show increasing of body fat and no difference in the variables of perimetry. In Groups 2 and 3, although there has been no decrease in total body fat, was observed significant difference in the perimeter, with reduction of localized fat in this group. The study showed that lipolysis by electric stimulation can be used as an effective therapy in the treatment of localized fat.
