Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology May 28, 2021
Pahlavani N, Nattagh-Eshtivani E, Amanollahi A, et al. - This is the first study assessing the impacts of microwave technology on the abdominal obesity and anthropometric indices of overweight adults. Participants in the study were 53 overweight adults aged 18-65 years who referred to Behbood Clinic in Tehran, Iran. At three intervals (0, 20, and 40 days), the participants were subjected to microwave technology (radiofrequency: 2.5 GHz) in accordance with a standard treatment protocol. Abdominal obesity, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat mass, and fat thickness were all measured at the start of the study, as well as 20, 40, and 60 days later. Furthermore, three-day dietary records were collected at regular intervals. Findings suggested that microwave technology and radiofrequency could effectively minimise anthropometric indices. In general, men can experience a greater reduction in these indicators and weight than women.
