Despite a growing popularity of noninvasive ultrasonic lipolysis procedure, there is a lack of evidence about the efficacy of this method. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of focused ultrasonic lipolysis on abdominal cellulite treatment.
Twenty-eight consecutive subjects (age: 37.8 ± 8 years) underwent weekly transdermal focused ultrasonic lipolysis (Med Contour, General Project Ltd., Florence, Italy) and vacuum drainage for a maximum of eight sessions. Largest abdominal girth and 2 lines at 4 cm to 7 cm distance above and under it were located as fixed points of measurements. The mean value of the three fixed lines was considered as the abdominal circumference. Subjects were evaluated using measurements of circumference, immediately after and 3 weeks after the final treatment and compared using paired t test.
One hundred ninety-four ultrasonic lipolysis procedures were performed on 28 subjects. A statistically significant (P < .001) average of 1.89 cm (95% CI: 1.63-2.02 cm) decrease of circumference value was observed in each session of ultrasonic lipolysis. The mean pretreatment to posttreatment circumference reduction was 8.21 cm (95% CI: 6.38-10.04, P < .001) that declined to 7 cm (95% CI: 3.2-10.8, P < .001) at the 3-month follow-up visit.
Focused ultrasonic lipolysis appears to be an effective method for reduction of abdominal cellulite, although some amount of circumference reduction reversal may be observed in long term follow-up visit.
尽管非侵入性超声脂肪分解术越来越受欢迎，但关于该方法疗效的证据却很缺乏。本研究旨在评估聚焦超声脂肪分解术治疗腹部橘皮组织的疗效。
连续28名受试者（年龄：37.8±8岁）每周接受经皮聚焦超声脂肪分解术（Med Contour，意大利佛罗伦萨通用项目有限公司）和真空引流，最多进行8次治疗。将最大腹围以及其上下4厘米至7厘米处的两条线作为固定测量点。将三条固定线的平均值视为腹围。在最后一次治疗后立即以及治疗后3周测量腹围对受试者进行评估，并使用配对t检验进行比较。
对28名受试者进行了194次超声脂肪分解术。在每次超声脂肪分解术中，观察到腹围值平均有统计学意义的下降（P<.001），下降了1.89厘米（95%置信区间：1.63 - 2.02厘米）。治疗前到治疗后的腹围平均减少量为8.21厘米（95%置信区间：6.38 - 10.04，P<.001），在3个月的随访中降至7厘米（95%置信区间：3.2 - 10.8，P<.001）。
聚焦超声脂肪分解术似乎是减少腹部橘皮组织的有效方法，尽管在长期随访中可能会观察到一定程度的腹围减少逆转情况。
