Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of focused ultrasound body contouring apparatus in abdominal fat reduction and body contouring.Methods Forty healthy subjeets were equally randomized into treatment group and control group,and received two treatments with the JCS-01 device (3H Medical Technology Co,Ltd,Beijing,China) in the abdominal region at one-week interval.During each treatment,the subject was placed on the treatment bed and the region of interest was spread with an acoustic coupling medium.Then the ultrasonic transducer was fixed,and the operator controlled the computerized system to move the bed in a designed regon.The control group would not receive any energy therapy during treatment time.Subjects were followed for 28 days after the last treatment (day 35).Abdominal circumference,regional photos and safety parameters were recorded at the time instantly before and after treatment and days 14 and 35.Subject satisfaction survey was conducted at day 35.Results One subject in control group was loss of follow-up.No local skin reactions,such as erythema edema or papules,and no changes with clinical significance in laboratory examinations occurred in all other 39 subjects.The proportion of subjects with over 0.5 cm abdominal circumference reduction in the treatment group was significantly higher than the control group at all time points (P＜0.05).Peak abdominal circumference reduction was on day 35.The abdominal circumferences of 19/20 subjects in the treatment group were reduced by 0.83-6.33 cm,and the mean abdominal circumference was reduced by 3.09 cm on day 35.The total effective rate was 95 ％,and the subject satisfactory rate was 75 ％.Conclusions The focused ultrasound treatments for body contouring is safe and tolerable and also significantly reduces abdominal circumference.
