Abstract

Introduction: Electrolipolysis is a micro-current that acts directly on reducing localized fat, generating a lipolytic action at the level of adipocytes and accumulated lipids. The micro-current application can happen through percutaneous or transcutaneous way. Previous studies showed that the isolated electrolipolise is effective to trigger lipolysis, but the results are more effective if applied to physically active people.

Objective: To compare effects between the two methods of electrolipolysis application in abdominal region in two patients physically active.

Methods: Comparative study of the case involved two women volunteers physically active. The women underwent an abdominal measurement evaluation and photo documentation before and after the intervention, one using percutaneous method and one using transcutaneous method. The intervention lasted five weeks, totaling 10 sessions 2 times weekly, lasting 50 minutes.

Results: Abdominal measurements values found in each participant were recorded in simple tables. The photographic records were used for comparison of before and after. Reduction of abdominal measures was observed in both participants, but the reduction was more significant on the patient that used the percutaneous electrolipolysis.

Conclusion: In this study it was observed that electrolipolysis is effective in reducing localized abdominal fat, but the transcutaneous method showed greater reduction on abdominal measures.
