In this article, we will discuss ultrasound therapy for abdominal fat removal.
If it were easy to lose weight, everyone would think how good it would be.In reality, gaining weight and losing weight both take place over a reasonable amount of time, so you must also be aware that the easy way to lose weight is a myth.The reviews presented here are based on measured results, and are based on a study of the psychological impact of the program. The following is a study of the psychological impact of the results.
The study
The participants were a total of 30 sedentary, healthy women between the ages of 18 and 30 who were recruited through social media advertising.Their BMI averaged 26, with a fat thickness of about 2.6 cm in the treatment area.Over a period of three months, the participants were divided into an experimental group, a control group, and a placebo group, and received ultrasound treatment in the targeted areas.Each participant fasted for four hours prior to the experiment.
The experimental group received 10 sessions of 20 minutes, and the ultrasound was set to a frequency of 3 MHz.In order to assess the participants' satisfaction, they took measurements of their body weight, VAS, blood pressure, heart rate, waist and hips, as well as photographs of the treatment area.The results showed that the experimental group was more satisfied with the photographic changes than the placebo and control groups, even though the experimental group did not achieve a significant difference.

Discussion
In the discussion by the authors, the following points were discussedThe high level of satisfaction with psychological factors, even with the theory of physiological effects of ultrasound therapy, indicates that there is a significant placebo effect in the treatment.It is possible that changes in the intensity or frequency of treatment could yield different results.In another study, there was a positive response to bipolar radiofrequency and ultrasound cavitation in the target area, so physiological responses to these devices need to be followed up.There was no long-term follow-up after the intervention.The menstrual cycle was not controlled.The target area was limited to the abdomen.The following points were discussed.
Conclusion
Although there were many things to consider regarding the actual effectiveness of the treatment, 60% of the experimental group was satisfied with the results.The deciding factor was based on the photos, how about you?Can you see the changes in the before and after pictures of beauty products?To be honest, I'm not very good at that. I feel like I'm trying to find a mistake, which is more difficult than finding a warrior.I think it's fine if he's happy with it, but it makes me wonder if I would do it myself. The conclusion made me think, "Would I do that?
