THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROPOLYSIS IN THE TREATMENT OF LOCALIZED FAT

Abstract

Obesity according to the World Health Organization is a disease caused by excess fat in the body and is becoming one of the most important factors associated with loss of health. One of the most used methods by dermato-functional physiotherapy is electrolipophoresis, intended for the treatment of adiposity and localized fat accumulation. Low frequency currents are an alternative to stimulate lipolysis and thus decrease the thickness of localized adipose tissue and consequently obtain positive changes in lipid metabolism. The present study aims to verify the effects of electropolysis in the treatment of localized fat, for which the bibliographic method was used, and the expected result is to disseminate studies with scientific evidence in the community of health professionals. With the results found, the reduction of measures of adipose tissue was observed, thus showing that this treatment is effective, in which associated with physical activity and/or diet and using the percutaneous method, a better result is obtained.
