BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The demand for non-surgical and non-invasive devices is continuous and increasing. Such devices have gradually gained ground in the reduction of localised fat and the improvement of body contouring. The study aimed to compare the effects of ultrasound cavitation and cryolipolysis on localised abdominal fat.
In total, 60 participants with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 kg/m , whose age ranged between 25 and 45 years, were included. The participants were randomly assigned to three groups of 20 each, using ultrasound cavitation and diet, cryolipolysis and diet, and diet only (the control group), respectively. Measures were bodyweight, BMI, waist circumference and suprailiac skinfold were measured at the beginning of the study and 2 months later.
The three groups showed significant improvements in all measured variables after 2 months. There was no statistically significant difference in bodyweight or in BMI among the groups after treatment. However, the groups using ultrasound cavitation and cryolipolysis showed better post-treatment improvement than the diet-only group in waist circumference and suprailiac skinfold. There was no statistically significant difference post-treatment between the cavitation and cryolipolysis groups in waist circumference or suprailiac skinfold.
Both ultrasound cavitation and cryolipolysis are safe and effective for the reduction of abdominal fat thickness and for abdominal contouring.
背景/目的：对非手术和非侵入性设备的需求持续且不断增加。此类设备在减少局部脂肪和改善身体轮廓方面已逐渐获得认可。本研究旨在比较超声空化和冷冻溶脂对腹部局部脂肪的影响。
总共纳入了60名体重指数（BMI）超过30kg/m²、年龄在25至45岁之间的参与者。参与者被随机分为三组，每组20人，分别采用超声空化联合饮食、冷冻溶脂联合饮食以及单纯饮食（对照组）。在研究开始时和2个月后测量体重、BMI、腰围和髂上皮肤褶厚度。
2个月后，三组在所有测量变量上均有显著改善。治疗后各组之间的体重或BMI没有统计学上的显著差异。然而，使用超声空化和冷冻溶脂的组在腰围和髂上皮肤褶厚度方面的治疗后改善情况优于单纯饮食组。超声空化组和冷冻溶脂组在治疗后的腰围或髂上皮肤褶厚度方面没有统计学上的显著差异。
超声空化和冷冻溶脂在减少腹部脂肪厚度和塑造腹部轮廓方面都是安全有效的。
