Fat reduction and body contouring have become popular procedures in the cosmetic surgery industry over the past decade. There have been studies to replace invasive methods such as liposuction, with safer non-invasive procedures. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a non-invasive combination therapy of ultrasound cavitation and cryolipolysis on abdominal adipose tissue.
This pilot interventional study comprised 90 female individuals aged 18-65-years-old who were recruited into one of three groups of 30 participants. Group 1 was treated with diet alone (the control group), group 2 with cryolipolysis and diet, and group 3 with a combination of ultrasound cavitation, cryolipolysis, and diet for 8 weeks. Anthropometric parameters were measured before, during, and after the trial included total body weight, body mass index(BMI), body fat mass, fat-free mass, and abdomen circumference.
All three groups demonstrated significant reductions in each parameter at the end of the intervention (P < 0.01). Apart from fat-free mass (P = 0.66), the combination therapy significantly reduced body fat mass, weight, BMI, and abdomen circumference compared to the control group (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the combination therapy and cryolipolysis-alone groups.
Treatment using a combination of cryolipolysis and ultrasound cavitation is no more effective in improving the anthropometric indices than cryolipolysis alone.
在过去十年中，脂肪减少和身体塑形已成为美容外科行业中非常受欢迎的程序。已经有研究旨在用更安全的非侵入性程序替代诸如抽脂等侵入性方法。我们旨在评估超声空化和冷冻溶脂的非侵入性联合疗法对腹部脂肪组织的影响。
这项初步干预性研究共纳入 90 名年龄在 18-65 岁之间的女性个体，他们被分为三组，每组 30 名参与者。第 1 组仅接受饮食治疗（对照组），第 2 组接受冷冻溶脂和饮食治疗，第 3 组接受超声空化、冷冻溶脂和饮食联合治疗 8 周。在试验期间和之后测量了包括体重、体重指数（BMI）、体脂肪量、去脂体重和腹部周长在内的人体测量参数。
所有三组在干预结束时均显示每个参数均有显著降低（P<0.01）。除去脂体重（P=0.66）外，与对照组相比，联合疗法在降低体脂肪量、体重、BMI 和腹部周长方面显著优于对照组（P<0.01）。联合疗法与单独冷冻溶脂组之间没有显著差异。
与单独冷冻溶脂相比，使用冷冻溶脂和超声空化联合治疗在改善人体测量指标方面并没有更有效。
