THE EFFECT OF RADIOFREQUENCY ON POSTMENOPAUSAL ADIPOSE TISSUE

* Menopause is associated with a redistribution of adipose tissue towards central adiposity, known to cause insulin resistance. It was found that menopause was associated with changes in adipose tissue phenotype related to metabolic dysfunction. In subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) * The radiofrequency uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to produce heat at the cutaneous and the subcutaneous levels. The mechanism of action, through the vibration of water molecules, transforms the electromagnetic energy into thermal. The heat generated by conversion occurs under 30 kHz to 300 MHz, and the most frequently used frequency is set between 0.5 and 1.5 MHz. The RF mechanism of fat reduction occurs by the generation of thermal stimulation of adipocyte metabolism, occurring through enzymatic degradation by lipase-mediated triglycerides, apoptosis, and adipocyte rupture and the objective of study to show the positive effect of radiofrequancy on postmenopausal adipose tissue
