Summary

Noninvasive fat reduction is a rapidly expanding field of cosmetic rejuvenation, as many patients are unwilling to suffer the downtime and healing associated with traditional invasive liposuction. The radiofrequency (RF) device has been shown to be safe and effective for non-invasive fat reduction, as well as cutaneous enhancement and improvement of skin flaccidity (BOISNIC, et al., 2014).

Conditions

  • Adiposity
  • Abdominal Obesity

Interventions

DEVICE

Radiofrequency

The volunteers will receive radiofrequency (TECAR-BTL® device, with epidermal temperature above 40ºC) in the right infraumbilical abdominal region, with an application time of 10 minutes (2 minutes per applicator area) and the left region will be used as control. A single session will be held. After approximately 30 days of this application the material for histological analysis will be collected during the surgical act, at which point the skin and the subcutaneous tissue of the infraumbilical region are discarded by the surgeon.
