There is an increasing demand for fat reduction and body contouring procedures. Noninvasive radiofrequency devices have been used to tighten skin and treat cellulite, but there are few studies confirming their efficacy for abdominal fat reduction.
This study explored the effects of four noninvasive radiofrequency (RF) treatments on abdominal fat in Asian subjects, evaluating body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference.
In this study, 16 patients with abdominal obesity were treated four times with a noninvasive and contactless selective RF device (VANQUISH ME™, BTL Aesthetics). Treatments were 7 days apart and lasted 45 min each. The BMI and circumference of the upper, middle, and lower abdomen were measured at baseline and after each treatment.
There were statistically significant reductions in BMI and abdominal circumference in all 16 patients (P < .05). Most patients only experienced a slight abdominal heat sensation and minimal body sweating during the treatment, and no adverse reactions were observed after the treatment.
The noninvasive and contactless selective RF technique was effective and safe in reducing fat, BMI, and abdominal circumference.
人们对减脂和身体塑形的需求不断增加。非侵入性射频设备已被用于收紧皮肤和治疗蜂窝组织炎，但很少有研究证实其对腹部减脂的疗效。
本研究探讨了四种非侵入性射频（RF）治疗对亚洲受试者腹部脂肪的影响，评估了体重、体重指数（BMI）和腰围。
本研究中，16 名腹部肥胖患者使用一种非侵入性和非接触式选择性 RF 设备（BTL Aesthetics 的 VANQUISH ME™）进行了四次治疗。治疗间隔为 7 天，每次持续 45 分钟。在基线和每次治疗后测量 BMI 和上、中、下腹的周长。
所有 16 名患者的 BMI 和腹部周长均有统计学显著降低（P<.05）。大多数患者在治疗过程中仅感觉到轻微的腹部热感和轻微的身体出汗，治疗后无不良反应。
非侵入性和非接触式选择性 RF 技术在减少脂肪、BMI 和腹部周长方面是有效和安全的。
