Resumo(s)
A gordura localizada é um fator de risco metabólico e uma preocupação estética crescente. Técnicas não invasivas, como radiofrequência (RF), ultrassom focalizado (TUS) e endermologia, têm sido utilizadas para sua redução, embora estudos sobre a combinação destas eletrotermoterapias ainda sejam escassos. Analisar os efeitos de 6 sessões de RF, TUS e endermologia em mulheres com gordura localizada, associando aconselhamentos sobre hábitos adequados de atividade física e alimentação equilibrada. Estudo de série de casos com 8 mulheres submetidas a 6 sessões de fisioterapia dermatofuncional. Foi avaliada a composição corporal por bioimpedância, perímetros corporais, rácios de distribuição de gordura e impacto da aparência física na vida pessoal. Observou-se diminuições médias no peso, IMC, massa gorda, massa gorda abdominal e nos perímetros corporais. Ligeira redução na pontuação do Inventário de Esquemas sobre a Aparência – revisto (ASI-R) foi observada. Na Escala de Percepção Global de Mudança (PGIC), 87,5% relataram melhorias positivas. A combinação de RF, TUS e endermologia mostrou efeitos benéficos na composição corporal e na redução de perímetros abdominais, sendo recomendável a inclusão de atividade física e monitorização de hábitos alimentares.
Localized adiposity is both a metabolic risk factor and a growing aesthetic concern. Non-invasive techniques such as radiofrequency (RF), focused ultrasound (TUS), and endermology have been used for fat reduction, although studies on the combined use of these techniques remain scarce. To analyse the effects of six sessions of RF, TUS and endermology in women with localized adiposity, combined with counselling on adequate physical activity and balanced eating habits. Methods: This case series included eight women who underwent six sessions of dermatofunctional physiotherapy. Body composition was assessed by bioimpedance, along with body circumferences, fat distribution ratios, and the impact of physical appearance on personal life. Mean reductions were observed in body weight, BMI, fat mass, abdominal fat mass, and body circumferences. A slight decrease was found in scores on the Appearance Schemas Inventory – Revised (ASI-R). On the Patient Global Impression of Change Scale (PGIC), 87,5% of participants reported positive improvements. The combination of RF, TUS and endermology demonstrated beneficial effects on body composition and abdominal circumference reduction, with the inclusion of physical activity and dietary monitoring being recommended.
