Abstract

Body dissatisfaction due to an increased amount of subcutaneous fat, muscle laxity and/or skin imperfection poses a great concern for today’s society. Invasive surgical procedures intended for an immediate improvement of body contour such as liposuction were perceived as a means of restoring the optimum body shape. However, the invasive nature of liposuction plus a certain amount of discomfort and downtime leads to increasing popularity in the noninvasive esthetic procedures. This chapter aims to emphasize the use of latest noninvasive technologies as a viable alternative to the liposuction. Three patient cases with different levels of treatment outcomes were reviewed. Patients received treatments either with high-intensity focused electromagnetic field (HIFEM) procedure or a combination of HIFEM and synchronized radiofrequency (RF), optionally followed by the simultaneous therapy by targeted pressure energy (TPE) plus monopolar RF. HIFEM alone resolves muscle laxity, reduces the separation of abdominal muscles and reduces abdominal adipose tissue. When combined with synchronized RF, the effect on muscle and fat tissue is enhanced. Concomitant use of monopolar RF and TPE shows considerable improvements in skin quality, including diminished skin laxity or cellulite. The use of HIFEM, RF and TPE technologies can be a good noninvasive liposuction alternative.
无创抽脂替代方法
由于皮下脂肪增加、肌肉松弛和/或皮肤不完美而引起的身体不满是当今社会关注的一大问题。旨在立即改善身体轮廓的侵入性外科手术,如吸脂,被认为是恢复最佳身体形状的一种手段。然而,吸脂的侵入性加上一定程度的不适和停机时间导致非侵入性美容手术越来越受欢迎。本章旨在强调使用最新的无创技术作为吸脂术的可行替代方案。本文回顾了3例不同治疗效果水平的患者。患者接受高强度聚焦电磁场(HIFEM)或HIFEM与同步射频(RF)相结合的治疗,可选择随后同时接受靶向压力能(TPE)加单极射频治疗。HIFEM单独解决肌肉松弛,减少腹肌分离,减少腹部脂肪组织。当与同步射频结合时,对肌肉和脂肪组织的影响增强。同时使用单极射频和TPE显示皮肤质量的显著改善,包括皮肤松弛或脂肪团的减少。使用HIFEM, RF和TPE技术可以是一个很好的非侵入性吸脂替代。
