Abstract

Background: Cryolipolysis is a treatment option for subjects looking for noninvasive body contouring. Combination between cryolipolysis and aerobic exercise has a significance effect on the reduction of localized fat.
Purpose: To examine the impact of combining cryolipolysis with aerobic activity and a calorie-restricted diet on the waist-to-hip ratio and the skin fold of subcutaneous abdominal fat in obese people.
Subjects and Methods: This was a pretest-posttest randomized controlled clinical study. Forty overweight patients were split evenly into two groups. Patients in group A (control) were instructed to follow a low-calorie diet and engage in aerobic exercise, while participants in group B of the trial were given cryolipolysis sessions in combination to the control group's diet. Assessment of patients was done before and after treatment to measure waist‐to‐hip ratio (W/H) as well as abdominal skin fold.
Results: Mixed MANOVA was performed to examine the effect of treatment on skin fold and (W/H) ratio. The skin fold and waist to hip (W/H) ratio data collected from both groups before and after treatment were compared statistically.There was a substantial effect of reduction in skin fold and waist-hip ratio of group B as compared to group A post treatment (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Patients who underwent cryolipolysis and aerobic exercise with low caloric diet program exhibited considerable improvement in skin fold of abdominal subcutaneous fat also waist-hip ratio improved the systemic effects of cryolipolysis contrasted to those who were kept on a diet as well as aerobic exercise.
