Summary

It's evident that the literature shows good results on the use of aesthetic ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat, however, little has been explored so far, about possible psychological influences of this method and therefore, it is believed that it is pertinent to elaborate studies that include a placebo group, in order to measure the real effects from the exclusive application of ultrasound. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to verify the influence of the application of aesthetic ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat, using for both clinical, biochemical and functional parameters.

Detailed description
