- Abstract
Introduction: Aesthetic radiofrequency treatment is a therapeutic method focused on reducing adiposity, of reducing body weight, concomitant with the use of aesthetic techniques using herbal medicines and medicinal plants. One of the plants still little explored by health professionals is Rosmarinus officinalis. Objective: To evaluate the impact of aesthetic radiofrequency treatment, combined with the use of standardized dry extract R. officinalis, on anthropometric variables in healthy women. Materials and Methods: Thirtytwo healthy women were subjected to radiofrequency cosmetic treatment for 4 weeks. These women were divided into Control Group (CG) and Intervention Group (IG). In CG (n=8), placebo capsules were included in the diet. The intervention group was divided into: Group A (n=8) 100 mg day-1; Group B (n=8) 500 mg day-1; Group C (n=8): 1,000 mg day-1. Anthropometric data regarding abdominal skinfolds, abdominal circumferences, and bioimpedance were collected before and after the interventions. Results: The aesthetic treatment with radiofrequency did not change the parameters evaluated. Significant changes were observed for the use of R. officinalis, through the significant increase in skinfolds, for all doses evaluated, as well as reduction in abdominal circumference with the use of 500 mg. Conclusion: Aesthetic radiofrequency treatment did not result in significant changes in anthropometric variables. Oral supplementation with R. officinalis extract can increase abdominal skinfolds in a linear, dose-dependent way. In addition, oral supplementation can significantly change abdominal circumferences.
