Abstract
Background: Obesity has become a major social and health problem, and is a risk factor for many diseases. Purpose: this study was conducted to investigate the effect of low frequency ultrasonic lipocavitation on normal lipid profile of healthy subjects with localized fat deposits in abdomen. Design: pretest posttest repeated measure study. Subjects: Forty eight volunteer healthy women participated in the study, their age was (25- 45) years old and their body mass index (BMI) was (25- 35) Kg/m2. Method: All participants adhered to balanced healthy diet to maintain body weight and received 12 sessions of ultrasonic lipocavitation on abdominal area along 6 weeks with session frequency of 2 sessions weekly and session duration of 25 min with ultrasonic Frequency of 32 -36 KHz, Output Power of 10-70 Watt/cm2. Lipid profile, BMI, waist circumference (WC), abdomen circumference (AC), waist/hip ratio (WHR), body fat mass (BFM) and trunk fat (TF) were measured before treatment, after 4 weeks of treatment and repeated again at the end of treatment after 6 weeks. Results: there was a significant decrease in values of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins, WC, AC, WHR, BFM and TF mass. Also significant increase in high density lipoproteins favoring ”post 4 weeks of treatment” and ” post 6 weeks of treatment ” in compare to pretreatment and favoring post 6 weeks in compare to post 4 weeks of treatment
