Abstract
Obesity is a condition of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue. Abnormal blood lipids associated with obesity have been firmly established as risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of cavitation therapy versus radiofrequency on central obesity. Thirty patients aged from 20 to 50 years old with central obesity assigned into two groups; group (A) consisted of fifteen patients managed with cavitation therapy (40k-Hz) for 15 min. once weekly in addition to aerobic exercises (walking on treadmill for 20 min 3 times\week) and low calorie diet program.. group (B) consisted of fifteen patients received radiofrequency (1MHz.) for 15 min. once weekly in addition to aerobic exercises (walking on treadmill for 20 min 3 times\week) and low calorie diet program. Patients in both groups were assessed using waist circumference and skin fold thickness before treatment and after 4 weeks and after 8 weeks. Showed that It’s clear that waist circumference by tape measurement and skin fold thickness by skin caliper have decreased after 8 weeks of treatment of cavitation group (group A) compared with radiofrequency group. Ultrasound cavitation was more effective than Tripolar radiofrequency in reducing fat mass in central obesity
