Effects of Cryofrequence on Localized Adiposity: Case Study
Cryofrequence is the combination of cryotherapy with radiofrequency, which
promotes a “thermal shock” to the tissue, working simultaneously to skin
flaccidity and localized adiposity. The efficacy of dermatological and hypodermic cryofrequency treatment was evaluated. This study reports the case of
a 45-year-old woman with complaints of flaccidity and fat located in the infra-umbilical region in the preoperative period of abdominoplasty. The
evaluation was performed before and after treatment through evaluation
protocols, ultrasound examinations and histological findings through optic
microscopy, microfocal and immunohistochemical analysis. The treatment
was performed in 4 sessions, with a weekly application, using the BHS 156
FULL®—BODY HEALTH BRASIL® apparatus, the parameters were temperature of ?10?C, power in 70%, duration of 8 minutes. After the surgical
procedure, parts of treated and untreated abdominal tissues were removed for
evaluation. In the tests performed, significant destruction of adipocytes was
detected, with consequent reduction of fat and greater expression of caspase-3
in the treated tissue, being constated the macrophage increase by CD68 expression. There was improvement in flaccidity, evidenced by the significant
increase in the number of fibroblasts and inflammatory cells positive for
Ki67, bringing more quantity and better quality to the collagen.
