Study protocol for the use of photobiomodulation with red or infrared LED on waist circumference reduction: a randomised, double-blind clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The search for non-invasive procedures to reduce localised adiposity in aesthetics clinics has recently been increasing. In this context, procedures, such as cryolipolysis, ultracavitation, photobiomodulation (PBM) and other techniques have been proposed. Some studies have shown that PBM can be used in body contouring. However, there is no standardisation of the protocol. More than that, as in other techniques for reducing adipose tissue, the availability of triacylglycerol may affect the lipid profile in the blood, bringing consequences to the general health of an individual. This work will aim to compare the light wavelengths when using PBM as a technique for reducing the abdominal waist circumference, while also evaluating the efficacy of the method. Changes in the
