Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial 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.

Clinical Trial Description

Abdominal Adiposity consists of an increase in adipose tissue in the abdomen region, which may be associated as a risk factor for cardiovascular pathologies, metabolic disorders and dyslipidemias, in addition to affecting self-esteem and social life due to aesthetics body provided by the volume increase of the contour. Electrolipolysis proves to be one of the accessible and low-cost resources, capable of promoting good therapeutic results through the passage of electric current to the adipose tissue, either with its percutaneous or transcutaneous technique. The study aims to compare the acute effects of percutaneous and transcutaneous electrolipolysis, considering comfort during execution. ;
