Abstract

Introduction: Piezoelectric shock wave therapy (PSWT) is a noninvasive technique that aims to reduce localized subcutaneous adipose tissue. Objectives: To investigate the effects of piezoelectric shock wave therapy on the reduction of localized subcutaneous adiposity. Methods: An experimental study, with 31 female participants, aged between 25 and 45 years, was conducted. Four treatment sessions were performed once a week with different parameters of the piezoelectric SW. They were applied dynamically in the infraumbilical area, and stationarily in the supraumbilical area, both on the left side. The right side did not receive therapy, becoming the control side. Results: In the application of piezoelectric SWs in stationarily, there was a greater reduction of adipose tissue than in dynamic mode. Conclusion: The therapy by piezoelectric SWs promoted a reduction of the localized adiposity, with the model of equipment chosen and at the dose proposed in this study, verified through the analysis of plicometry and ultrasonography data.
