Effect of combined compression-vibration therapy using non-invasive Beautylizer Therapy Cosmospheres V on the subcutaneous tissue morphology in women with gynoid lipodystrophy (pilot study).

Abstract

Gynoid lipodystrophy is one of the most common cosmetical problems in women. The study aims to examine the pathomorphology and histology of subcutaneous tissue in women with gynoid lipodystrophy exposed to local compression/vibration therapy using a non-invasive Beautylizer Therapy Cosmospheres V medical device. The study enrolled 25 virtually healthy women aged 25-45years with gynoid lipodystrophy grades I and II. The women included in the study completed a 10-session month-long therapeutic course with a non-invasive Beautylizer Therapy Cosmospheres V medical device. Bioptic punch-size samples were taken from the gluteal region prior to and following the 10-session therapy course with the device. After completing a 10-session treatment course, a decrease in the mean adipocyte area from 123.08±13.60μm to 67.14±4.20μm was observed in punch bioptic samples of subcutaneous fat tissues of women with gynoid lipodystrophy as compared with the pre-treatment indices. Thus, local application of 10-session therapy with a non-invasive Beautylizer Therapy Cosmospheres V medical device in women with gynoid lipodystrophy demonstrated a positive effect on the histological structure of the hypodermis.
