Reduction of localised adiposities by non invasive means is a very frequent request among the female and male population.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of AWT(®), combining two different mechanical waves, planar AWT and radial AWT during the same session, in volume reduction of saddle bags in women.
Treatment was performed on the saddle bag areas of 14 female patients, with the CELLACTOR(®) SC1 (Storz Medical AG, Tägerwilen, Switzerland) using extracorporeal pulse activation technology, EPAT(®). This device includes two handpieces, the C-ACTOR(®) and the D-ACTOR(®). Within 4 weeks, eight AWT(®) treatment sessions have been performed with both applicators. Follow-up visits were performed 1, 4 and 12 weeks after the last treatment.
Measurements with the ultrasound system clearly demonstrate a significant diminution in the subcutaneous fat layer thickness and a reduction of the averaged circumference of thighs.
This study, although performed on a small number of patients, tends to show the safety and efficacy of AWT(®) in treating localized fat areas in a non-invasive way. There is also an additional benefit for patients in reducing the cellulite appearance and improving the skin firmness at the same time by using AWT(®).
通过非侵入性手段减少局部脂肪堆积是男性和女性群体中非常常见的需求。
本研究的目的是证明在同一疗程中结合两种不同机械波（平面AWT和径向AWT）的AWT（®）在减少女性臀外侧赘肉体积方面的有效性和安全性。
使用体外脉冲激活技术（EPAT，®），采用CELLACTOR（®）SC1（瑞士泰格维伦的史托斯医疗公司）对14名女性患者的臀外侧赘肉区域进行治疗。该设备包括两个手持探头，即C - ACTOR（®）和D - ACTOR（®）。在4周内，使用这两种探头进行了8次AWT（®）治疗。在最后一次治疗后的1周、4周和12周进行随访。
超声系统测量结果清楚地表明皮下脂肪层厚度显著减小，大腿平均周长减小。
本研究虽然针对少数患者进行，但倾向于表明AWT（®）以非侵入性方式治疗局部脂肪区域的安全性和有效性。同时，使用AWT（®）对患者还有额外益处，即减少橘皮组织外观并改善皮肤紧致度。
