Summary
To evaluate the efficacy of novel noninvasive RF technology for reduction of submental fat.
Detailed description
Recently, Novel radiofrequency (RF) technology was introduced as a promising tool for non-invasive body and face contouring, which can heats subcutaneous fat up to 45℃ continuously without surface damage and induces adipocytes apoptosis. Subjects with an excessive subcutaneous fat on the submental area received twice treatments at 1-month intervals. Clinical outcomes including the thickness of the submental fat (measured by ultrasound) and the submental circumference (measured by a tape measure), and clinical photographs were obtained at baseline, and 1-month and 6-month after last treatment.
