Clinical results suggest a positive effect of radiofrequency on the reduction in adipose tissue, proving an increase in adipocyte lipolysis. After statistical analysis, it was verified that the anthropometry presented questionable results. The clinical results of the studies point to the positive effects of radiofrequency on the reduction in adipose tissue;...Continue Reading
