THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROPOLYSIS IN THE TREATMENT OF LOCALIZED FAT

Abstract

The market demand for aesthetic procedures has shown a progressive growth, since it offers the consumer a variety of therapeutic resources aimed at body harmonization and personal satisfaction. Resources such as mesotherapy that facilitates the lipolysis process have been increasingly sought after, since the increase in body fat, especially localized, contributes to low self-esteem, directly interfering in the quality of life. This work aims to conduct a literature review on the effectiveness of using mesotherapy in the treatment of localized fat. To achieve the proposed objectives, exploratory bibliographic research with a descriptive character was used as a methodological resource, based on documents extracted from virtual data Scientific Electronic Library Online (Sciello), Google academic and other scientific sites, to obtain articles, theses, monographs, dissertations and books involved in the proposed theme. The keywords used for the research were: mesotherapy, localized fat, adipose tissue, hypodermis, lipolytic action, adipocyte metabolism. Mesotherapy using lipolytic substances, amino acids, vitamins, promotes the breakdown of triglycerides and the release of free fatty acids in adipose tissue, with a significant decrease in body biometrics quickly and safely. It is up to the qualified biomedical doctor to determine the indicated therapy and the substances to be used through the individual assessment of each patient.
