NON-INVASIVE TECHNIQUES FOR THE REDUCTION OF LOCALIZED LIPODYSTROPHY: CURRENT EVIDENCE. EMPHASIS ON TREATMENT WITH CRYOLIPOLYSIS.

Abstract

The search for satisfaction of aesthetic beauty and physical well-being is a concern present in today’s society, and this has contributed to the increasing number of customers who seek the aesthetic treatments to minimize physical imperfections. Localized lipodystrophy has been one of the biggest reasons for this demand, including that the increased demand for the solution of this pathology has been increasingly the preference for methods that do not restrict daily routine. The modeler massage, ultrasound, radio frequency, vacuum therapy, electrolipophoresis, and cryolipolysis are one of the main non-invasive techniques available on the aesthetic market for the treatment of localized lipodystrophy, the latest being the cryolipolysis, with an increasing number of fans because of results highly efficient with fewer sessions. Therefore, this study aimed to address the concept and key features of localized lipodystrophy and present these major noninvasive treatments for the disorder. For this a literature search was carried out, indicating the scientific evidence of their use. The results were significant and satisfactory, showing the effectiveness of these treatments. It was therefore concluded that the non-invasive techniques presented are effective in reducing body measurements in the treatment of localized lipodystrophy, when properly applied from scientifically proven protocols.
