Effect of Cryolipolysis Versus Ultrasound Cavitation on Post-Menopausal Abdominal Adiposity

Abstract

Background: For spot reduction of adipose tissue, cryolipolysis and ultrasound cavitation are quickly emerging as the most often used substitutes for liposuction. These methods are also emerging as  prominent noninvasive therapies because of their  simplicity of use and few side effects. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effects of cryolipolysis and ultrasonic cavitation on post-menopausal abdominal adiposity. Subjects and methods: This research, which included sixty postmenopausal women, compared the effects of cryolipolysis and ultrasonic cavitation on postmenopausal abdominal (Adiposity). They were chosen at random from the Outpatient Clinic of Om El Masryeen General Hospital in Giza. Their ages varied from 50 to 60 years. Their body mass index (BMI) was above 30 kg/m2. All of the women were at least two years post-menopausal. All women suffered from abdominal adiposity if their waist circumference (WC) is greater than 90 cm and their waist-hip ratio is greater than 0.85.
Results: Age, weight, height, and BMI did not significantly differ between groups A and B, according to the study's findings (p > 0.05). Following treatment, both groups A and B showed a substantial decrease in subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT), WC, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and BMI. BMI, WC, hip circumference, WHR, and SFT did not significantly differ between groups A and B either before or after treatment.
Conclusion: It may be determined that both cryolipolysis and ultrasonic cavitation had the same impact on lowering postmenopausal abdominal adiposity by decreasing BMI, WC, hip circumference, WHR, and SFT.
