Objective. Evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of cryolipolysis based on a comparative analysis of soft tissue ultrasound data. Methods. This study presents the results of using cryolipolysis for excess localized fat deposits based on ultrasound data. The study group included 62 patients with complaints of excessive local fat deposits. The first control group consisted of 10 patients who followed the dietitian’s recommendations. The first main group included 8 patients who underwent cryolipolysis of one anatomical area, with a total area of about 160 cm2, or two anatomical areas, with an area of 80 cm2 each. The second main group included 24 patients with excessive local fat deposits, who underwent 2 consecutive cryolipolysis procedures according to the Treatment to Transformation (T2T) protocol.
Results. Efficiency in groups where cryolipolysis was used was significantly higher. At the same time, in men, the effect occurred later
than in women - only after 10 weeks.
Conclusion. In general, women tolerated the procedure more easily, less often complained of soreness, swelling, and hyperesthesia at the site of the procedure.
