Use of Lipocavitation in the Treatment of Localized Adiposity: a Review

With the growing demand for body, contouring, non-invasive devices for reducing localized fat have become increasingly popular and have grown exponentially in the last decade. The Lipocavitation technique has been used recently for this purpose and has been evaluated as a method for the selective destruction of adipose tissue. This work has as main objective, to bring up the practice, the mechanism of action in the body and the effects of the use of lipocavitation in the treatment of localized adiposity. This is an exploratory study of bibliographic review, with consultation in the databases of the VHL (Virtual Health Library), PUBMED and MEDLINE and SciELO. The results showed that the lipocavitation technique used in aesthetics to reduce adipocytes allows the destruction of localized fat, facilitating its elimination and contributing to the reduction of localized measures. With the current technological advances, a variety of techniques can be used, or even combined, allowing innovation to professionals, bringing improvement and well-being to each individual.
