ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze the effects of cryolipolysis on the fat thickness of the lower abdomen of healthy women and patient's satisfaction.

Methods

Design and setting: a randomized controlled trial, with concealed allocation and blinded assessor.

Participants

34 healthy women between 18 and 48 years, skinfold in the lower abdomen ≥3cm, BMI between 18.5 and 27kg/m², low level of physical activity, and no contraindication to cryolipolysis were allocated to intervention group (IG, n=17) or control group (CG, n=17).

Interventions

The IG received one session of cryolipolysis with -10°C of temperature for 50min. The CG was not submitted to any kind of intervention. Both groups did the evaluation protocols at baseline, 30, 60 and 90 days after the intervention
