- Abstract
The adipose tissue is formed by cells called adipocytes, and can be found isolated, in small groups or grouped in large areas of the body, as in the subcutaneous tissue. Regardless of dieting and physical exercise, a specific treatment is necessary to eliminate them. Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive treatment and has been gaining space in the aesthetic market because it is a technique that consists in the destruction of fat cells sensitive to cold, through the adipocitary death by apoptosis, thus generating in the body an inflammatory process, obtaining the reduction of measures and also improving the body contour. To potentiate the treatment of cryolipolysis, it is possible to use electrotherapy, which, together with other techniques, promotes different stimuli in the fat, allowing its elimination. The objective of this review was to contribute to a better understanding of the therapeutic associations to cryolipolysis in order to help in the potentiation of the results of the technique. Therefore, there is a need for more studies in relation to the associations in order to obtain scientific knowledge, even avoiding the negative results mentioned in this review.
