Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the acute effects of percutaneous and transcutaneous eletroclipolysis on abdominal contour in women. The main question it aims to answer are:

• Is there superiority in percutaneous and transcutaneous electrolipolysis techniques?

Participants will undergo 12 sessions of 50 minutes each performed twice a week, totaling 6 weeks, after randomizing the hemibody for each technique.

Researchers will compare the hemibody with the percutaneous technique with the hemibody with the transcutaneous technique to see if there is a reduction of the adipose tissue.

Conditions

  • Abdominal Fat

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Percutaneous Electrolipolysis

Electrolipolysis consists in the passage of electric current to the adipose tissue, causing lipolysis. The proposed protocol consists of 2 weekly sessions for 6 weeks, totaling 12 sessions, using needles.

PROCEDURE

Transcutaneous Electrolipolysis

Electrolipolysis consists in the passage of electric current to the adipose tissue, causing lipolysis. The proposed protocol consists of 2 weekly sessions for 6 weeks, totaling 12 sessions, using the surface electrodos.
