“…The scientific systemic effect of many noninvasive lipolysis techniques was a point of research for several investigators who examined the systemic effect of laser applications [10], different types of low-intensity ultrasound [11,12], radiofrequency [13], and Cryolipolysis [14,15]. Cryolipolysis selectively destructs the fat cells, by decreasing the subcutaneous fat temperature through controlled cooling without causing any damage to the surrounding tissues [14][15][16][17].…”

Background and Objectives To investigate the adding effect of Cryolipolysis to a low‐calorie diet program on lipid profile, liver enzymes, body mass index, waist‐to‐hip ratio, and volume reduction of subcutaneous fat tissue in central obese women. Study Design/Materials and Methods Sixty central obese women were randomly divided into two equal groups. Women in the control group received prescribed low‐calorie diet regimen only, while women in the study group received three Cryolipolysis sessions plus the same dietary regimen for 3 months. Assessment of women in each group for weight, height to obtain the body mass index, waist‐to‐hip ratio, and abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness as well as evaluation of lipid profile and liver enzymes was done just before starting the treatment procedures and immediately after ending the study duration. Results There were statistically significant improvements of waist‐to‐hip ratio, body mass index, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low‐ and high‐density lipoprotein, as well as liver enzymes in favor of the study group (P < 0.001). Conclusion Women who underwent Cryolipolysis and diet program had better improvement in components of lipid profile and liver enzymes than women who were maintained over diet program alone. Measures to decrease waist circumference, associated with abdominal subcutaneous fat reduction, enhanced the systemic effects of Cryolipolysis. Lasers Surg. Med. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…The cavitation phenomenon used here affects the adipose tissue by converting it into a liquid form, which is then naturally excreted in urine. A higher temperature is achieved through ultrasonic vibrations [ 34 ]. The effect is the destruction of adipocytes, with the release of lipids, which are transported to the hepatobiliary system through lymphatic drainage.…”

Adipocytes accumulate triacylglycerols as an energy store, thereby causing an increase in the adipose tissue volume. Weight gain can be prevented through damage to the adipocyte structure or an increase in the body’s metabolic rate. Commonly used methods to disintegrate the cell membrane of adipocytes include injection lipolysis, cryolipolysis, ultrasonic lipolysis, radiofrequency lipolysis, laser lipolysis, carboxytherapy, and lipolysis using an electromagnetic field. The names of these methods suggest which substances are being used, and their main advantages are a very low invasiveness, as well as effectiveness. However, new discoveries in medicine, along with individuals’ desire to improve their appearance, have resulted in numerous studies on more ways of reducing body fat. Great potential is seen in beige adipocytes, which can be transformed, i.e., “recruited” from white adipocytes, or synthesized de novo; they also show thermogenic properties. One of the stimuli inducing the formation of beige adipocytes is cold and B3-adrenergic stimulation. Based on these findings, the researchers created, for example, cooling clothing. Additionally, curcumin and natural anthocyanins have proven to be helpful in the treatment of obesity and diabetes, by stimulating the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1, and inducing the formation of beige adipocytes. Another study showed that the conversion of white adipose tissue is indirectly influenced by interleukin-6 secreted by the muscles, the expression of which is increased in people actively exercising. Moreover, there is potential in adenosine analogs, fenoldopam, rhubarb, the herbal extract Ephedra sinica Stapf, electroacupuncture simulation, and the drug CBL-514. Despite knowledge and experience, the ideal method for a quick and noticeable, but safe and non-invasive reduction of body fat has not been found yet. The research conducted nowadays may bring us closer to the development of a universal method, and turn out to be a breakthrough in the fight against overweight and obesity.

Cavitation and radiofrequency versus cryolipolysis on leptin regulation in central obese subjects: A randomized controlled study

et al. 2022

Background and Objective: To investigate the efficacy of adding ultrasound cavitation and radiofrequency versus cryolipolysis to weight reduction program on leptin, insulin, waist circumference, skinfold, body weight in central obese subjects. Material and Methods: Sixty centrally obese participants were randomly allocated into three equal groups. Subjects in the study group (I) received cavitation and radiofrequency plus dietary regimen, subjects in the second study group (II) received cryolipolysis in conjunction with the same diet program, and subjects in the control group (III) received the same dietary regimen only. Leptin, insulin level, waist circumference, skinfold, body weight, and body mass index were measured shortly before intervention techniques and 3 months afterward. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between cavitation plus radiofrequency and cryolipolysis on leptin and insulin levels after 3 months of intervention. However, statistically significant differences were found in waist circumference, skinfold, weight reduction, and body mass index in favor of the cavitation group (p < 0.05). In addition, both cavitation-radiofrequency and cryolipolysis were statistically significantly different than the diet alone in favor of the study groups (p < 0.05) in all the outcome measures. Furthermore, there were statistically significant differences in all outcome measures (p < 0.05) when comparing the baseline and postintervention results in each group except for leptin level in the diet group (p = 0.14). Conclusion: Subjects who underwent cavitation plus radiofrequency had better improvement on waist circumference, skinfold, and body mass index than subjects who received cryolipolysis. However, no differences were found between cavitation plus radiofrequency and cryolipolysis on leptin and insulin levels.
