Localized fat is characterized by irregular development of the subcutaneous connective tissue. The main function of adipose tissue is energy storage in the form of triglycerides. Its cells, adipocytes, develop from cells similar to fibroblasts, multiplying during childhood and adolescence, and maintaining a constant number during adulthood. However, the amount of lipid deposited inside these cells may vary in adults.

Factors such as stress, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits, and general body dysfunctions can contribute to the accumulation of localized fat.

We offer the best and most effective treatments within dermatofunctional physiotherapy for localized fat treatment:

Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency is a device that generates deep heat, warming the tissue and promoting lipolysis of adipocytes, which may lead to a reduction in measurements and the realignment of collagen fibers. After heating, hyperemia of the skin is observed as a consequence of vasodilation and increased blood flow, which enhances peripheral circulation and improves tissue oxygenation through the bloodstream.

Contraindications of Radiofrequency

There are some contraindications for using radiofrequency, including: alterations in the patient's sensitivity, presence of metal implants, electrical implants, pacemakers, pregnancy, patients on blood circulation medications, use over hormonal glands, hemophiliacs, infection sites, and individuals with fever.

Classical Massage

When performed correctly, classical massage can assist in reducing measurements and edema, stimulate blood circulation, metabolism, and neuromuscular responses, harmonize body contours, and minimize anxiety and depression, contributing to improved self-esteem and quality of life.

Ultracavitation

Ultracavitation is a low-frequency ultrasound wave that targets the vibration of adipose tissue, specifically between 28 to 80 kHz. These ultrasonic waves generate microbubbles of gas or vapor. The microbubbles near the subcutaneous tissue will respond to the frequency of the ultrasound, rupture, and since they are near the adipocytes, they will fragment their membrane, causing the fat to leak out.

Contraindications:

This treatment is contraindicated for patients with high cholesterol, triglycerides, renal or hepatic insufficiency, as the leakage of fat may increase these levels.
