Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of cryolipolysis, a non-invasive fat reduction technique, on 30 overweight and obese women, focusing on body fat and lipid profiles under strict ethical standards.
- Participants underwent three cryolipolysis sessions, with body composition and plasma lipid assessments conducted before and after the treatment.
- Results showed a significant reduction in abdominal fat (4.1 kg) and BMI (0.7 points) as well as improvements in cholesterol levels, suggesting cryolipolysis may help reduce cardiovascular risks related to obesity beyond just cosmetic benefits.
