Efeitos da aplicação da corrente polarizada e da iontoforese na gordura localizada em mulheres

摘要: INTRODUCTION: The polarized current has ionic effects and in the negative pole predominate increase of local metabolism. OBJECTIVE: To compare iontophoresis localized fat. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was selected 24 volunteers, aged 18-30, sedentary, without any pregnancy abdominal surgery. They were divided four groups: group 1 (n = 4), application polarized; 2 6), ionthophoresis, 3 cosmetic directly by skin; 4, control 5). protocol galvanic current, biphasic, short long period, each for 5 minutes, held two times per week, totaling ten sessions. In product used as Centella asiatica, with polarity which placed on cathode. application's technique transversal. evaluate review conducted to adipometry, circumference, weight, height BMI. RESULTS: comparison between A B groups it verified no statistic differences measures circumference; only showed significant results (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Association provided reduction flanks highlights benefits iontophoresis.
