Abstract:

Objective: To investigate cryolipolysis versus ultrasound cavitation radiofrequency on hunger level, waist-hip
ratio, skin fold, body weight, subcutaneous fat and visceral fat thickness in adolescent with abdominal obesity.
Material and Methods:
Sixty adolescent central obese whose age ranged from 13 to 16 years were allocated randomly into 3 groups. Each of them was 20 participants. Subjects in study group (A) underwent cavitation radiofrequency plus dietary regimen, subjects in the second study group (B) underwent cryolipolysis in conjunction with the same diet program, and subjects in control group (C) received the same diet program only. Patients in all groups were evaluated on height, weight, skinfold, waist-hip ratio, hunger level and MRI were carried out shortly before to the start of the intervention techniques and again two months afterwards.
Results: After two months of intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in BMI, weight, or visceral adipose tissue (VAT) between groups. However, there was a significant difference between the three groups in Suprailiac skin fold, waist-hip ratio, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and hunger level (P= 0.001) with the Cavitation and radiofrequency group (A) showing better reduction than the Cryolipolysis group (B) and the Cryolipolysis group was better than the diet group (C).
Conclusion:
Cavitation radiofrequency have a favorable effect compared to Cryolipolysis on reduction of skin folds, waist- hip ratio, subcutaneous adipose tissue and hunger level. However, there is no difference between groups on BMI, body weight and VAT.
