Abstract

Introduction: excess abdominal fat has been affecting a large portion of the population that cares about the appearance. Localized adiposity is the accumulation of excess fat in specific regions of the human body. The eletrolipolysis is a specific low frequency microcurrent technique for the treatment of fat deposits and accumulation of localized fatty acids. Objective: To identify the effects of eletrolipolysis in abdominal adiposity. Method: This is a systematic review consisted of experimental studies from 2002 to the year 2012 published in the following indexed databases: Bireme, Lilacs and Scielo. Results: It was observed that most studies found reduction of localized adiposity, using the eletrolipolysis technique. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a shortage in the literature regarding the use of eletrolipolysis on abdominal adiposity, requiring new studies on that subject.
