It is not necessary to do sports: scientists have found a way to reduce belly fat

The combination of Radio Frequency (RF) heating and High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM) helps to correct the figure in the abdominal area. Using this approach not only reduces belly fat, but also increases muscle mass. Surgery in turn is not necessary.

“Our study is the first randomized for the combination of RF and HIFEM. We were able to achieve a significant reduction in abdominal fat and increase the thickness of the abdominal muscles,” says surgeon Julien B. Samuels, MD.

Scientists emphasize that a combination of methods gives better results than using one of them alone. . At the same time, the effect persists six months after treatment. Dr. Samuels' study included 72 patients with an average age of 45 who sought abdominal contouring. Patients were randomly assigned to receive RF and HIFEM (48 patients) or an inactive procedure (24 patients).

Patients underwent three 30-minute sessions once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. At follow-up visits after 1, 3, and 6 months, participants were scanned with ultrasound for changes in abdominal fat and rectus abdominis muscle thickness.

After 1 month, patients who underwent combination therapy had a reduction in abdominal fat in an average of 205% with an increase in the thickness of the abdominal muscles by 215%. After three months, abdominal fat decreased by 28.3% and muscle thickness increased by 24.2%. There were no changes in abdominal fat or muscle thickness in the sham-treated control group.
