Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Simultaneous radiofrequency and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) therapy effectively reduces abdominal fat and increases muscle definition. This combined approach shows superior results for body shaping compared to separate treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic medicine
  • Body contouring technologies

Background:

  • Radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) devices are established for abdominal body shaping.
  • RF targets adipose tissue reduction, while HIFEM enhances muscle definition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a novel device delivering synchronized RF and HIFEM treatments simultaneously for abdominal toning and fat reduction.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-two patients were randomized into active (n=48) and sham (n=24) groups.
  • Three weekly abdominal treatments were administered. Ultrasound assessed fat and muscle thickness changes over 6 months.

Main Results:

  • The active group showed significant reductions in adipose tissue (28.3% at 3 months) and increases in rectus abdominis muscle thickness (24.2% at 3 months).
  • Improvements were sustained at 6 months, with no significant changes in the sham group.
  • Treatments were comfortable, and the active group reported higher satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Simultaneous RF and HIFEM therapy offers significant abdominal fat reduction and muscle definition.
  • This combined treatment surpasses the efficacy of standalone RF or HIFEM therapies for body contouring.
