“…There is strong evidence in the literature demonstrating the role of PBMT in reducing subcutaneous adiposity and consequently improving the circumferential measurements in individuals who are obese or overweight [12,18,19]. This is substantiated by the results of the present study, which supports the role of PBMT in reducing abdominal adiposity as this study was able to reveal significant improvements in the waist circumference, W‐to‐H ratio, and SAFT in adolescents with obesity.…”

“…However, no changes have been detected regarding the visceral adiposity in that research. Other studies have been conducted to evaluate the clinical effects by which PBMT acts as a body sculpting procedure [17–19]. Overall, the results of these studies have demonstrated that PBMT has the potential to reduce the circumference measurements of specifically treated body regions including the arm, hip, and abdomen.…”

Background and Objectives: Structured physical activities and dietary control have traditionally been used with the aim of controlling obesity. However, effective auxiliary modalities still needed to reduce local obesity, specifically abdominal obesity. This study examined the adjunct effect of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), and non-contact selective-field radiofrequency (NcRF) on abdominal adiposity in adolescents with obesity. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Fifty-four adolescents with obesity (33 females and 21 males) took part in this study and were distributed randomly into three treatment-based groups. Control group (n = 18, age; 14.61 ± 1.14 years), PBMT group (n = 18, age; 14.22 ± 0.88 years), and NcRF group (n = 18, age; 15.11 ± 0.96 years). A dietary control plan of 1,000-1,200 kcal/day, and a 60-minute aerobic exercise program conducted day-by-day over 4 weeks were provided for all participants. Additionally, the PBMT group received 12 20-minute PBMT on the abdominal area (energy/session~4.08 J/cm 2) thrice/week, and the NcRF group underwent four 30-minute treatments with NcRF on the abdominal area once/week. Waist/hip ratio (W-to-H ratio), intra-abdominal fat thickness (IAFT), and the subcutaneousabdominal fat thickness (SAFT) were observed at the baseline and after 4 weeks. Results: The W-to-H ratio and SAFT reduced significantly in the PBMT group compared with either the control group (P = 0.001 and 0.001, respectively) or the NcRF group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.046, respectively) post-intervention. However, the IAFT and IAFT/SAFT ratio did not differ significantly among the study groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Our analysis shows that PBMT is more efficient than NcRF for the reduction of W-to-H ratio and SAFT in adolescents with obesity. Lasers Surg. Med.

BackgroundReverse the fat accumulation and to improve body contouring with more safely than invasive procedures has become a necessary therapeutic approach, but little detailed when using LED photobiomodulation.AimsTo evaluate an application protocol with two different wavelengths (red and infrared LED) consecutively in the abdomen region alone or associated with the dermocosmetics application with lipolytic properties.MethodsNinety patients with a significant amount of adipose tissue in the abdomen region were selected and randomized into three groups: Sham (SG), in which patients received a simulation of the treatment; LED (LG), in which participants received the application with LED; LED with dermocosmetic (LDG), in which the participants underwent a combination of LED and dermocosmetic treatment. The following assessments were carried out: anthropometric data (weight, height, perimetry, and adipometry); ultrasound examination to adipose layer; patient satisfaction questionnaire; histology of a donated a tissue sample.ResultsThe main findings were a decrease in umbilical perimetry, a significant decrease in the body fat layer determined by ultrasound and significant histological changes that indicated an improvement in the appearance of the skin and an increase in the amount of macrophages in the subcutaneous layer. Histological data also showed an improvement in the appearance of the skin with an increase in collagen deposition and an increase in macrophages in the subcutaneous layer.ConclusionsThe LED phototherapy application protocol, both alone and in association with the dermocosmetic, with the emission of two consecutive wavelengths, was effective in reducing the fat tissue in the abdomen region.
