The growing social acceptance of cosmetic
procedures has resulted in a greater demand for
procedures which will improve body image and quality
of life. For our study, 15 women were selected, mean age
44.8 years. They all maintained their normal activities;
they did not do any type of diet or physical exercise. For
High Power Radiofrequency, Capenergy model C200
equipment was used, a device that uses frequencies of
0.8, 1 and 1.2 MHz, with two channels and high power
applied with a 200 cm2 electrode that increases the
treatment area. The average decrease in abdominal
circumference was 4.17 cm, being a statistically
significant difference of p = 0.001. When dividing
according to age into two groups above and below 40
years, no statistically significant differences were found
(such that p = 0.191 and p = 0.411, for each group
respectively). 6 sessions have been enough to discover a
statistically significant decrease in abdominal fat and
decrease the abdominal circumference by more than 4
cm.
