Abstract
Overweight and obesity is a world epidemic problem, many therapeutic approaches are used to overcome the problem of overweight and localized obesity. Low frequency ultrasound cavitation and mesotherapy injection were recommended as different ways to get rid of localized adiposity. The aim of the current study was to compare between the effect of low frequency ultrasound cavitation versus phosphatidylcholine injection on fat adiposity in females with gynoid obesity. Forty overweight females with age ranged from 30-40 years, and their body mass indices ranged between 25-30kg/m2 were included in the study. The subjects were divided into two equal groups: group A received low frequency ultrasound cavitation twice weekly and group B received phosphatidylcholine injection every two weeks and both groups received treatment for 4 months. The mean values of waist/hip ratio, fat percentage, and skin fold thickness were significantly changed from 0.71± 0.03, 30.7 ± 1.88, and 35.4 ± 1.26 to 0.77 ± 0.004, 25.6 ± 1.89, and 26.1 ± 2.02 respectively, in group } and from 0.69 ± 0.004, 32 ± 3.36, and 36 ± 0.81 to 0.73 ± 0.009, 27.1 ± 1.66, and 31.1 ± 1.66 respectively, in group II. Also, there was a significant difference between the two groups after treatment on waist/hip ratio and skin fold thickness variables. It is suggested that low frequency ultrasound cavitation is more effective and safe to decrease fat adiposity than phosphatidylcholine injection in females with gynoid obesity
