About

It's evident that the literature shows good results on the use of aesthetic ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat, however, little has been explored so far, about possible psychological influences of this method and therefore, it is believed that it is pertinent to elaborate studies that include a placebo group, in order to measure the real effects from the exclusive application of ultrasound. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to verify the influence of the application of aesthetic ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat, using for both clinical, biochemical and functional parameters.

Full description

There will be included 30 participants, female gender, communities between 18 and 30 years, apparently Saudi, local abdominal fat, located in three groups: control (n = 10), experimental (n = 10) and placebo (n = 10) . Or group control não recebeu nenhum type of intervention. No experimental group, 10 sessões de ultrassom (Skinner brand, São Paulo) will be carried out in the previous region for 20 minutes. No placebo group will be applied ultrassom (Skinner brand, São Paulo), pormem com zerada intensities. Anthropometric avaliação e of dobras cutâneas will be carried out at this time before applying the treatment protocol. As skin folds will be measured by means of adipometers.
