BackgroundIn the old days,most people were devoted to their work for living. The pursue of health, better life qualities were too heavy for them. On the contrary,people nowadays are more concerned about life styles,life qualities,healthy body and mind, and better outlook!However, due to the lack of education about knowledge for nutrition, healthy life style and exercise, more and more people are found to be overweight by over intake of calories and having sedentary life.As a result,poor circulation, body fat accumulation,metabolic syndrome and chronic diseases are more and more common all over the world. These unwanted problems are not only causing people to be in a lower condition of body function and health, in addition, they are consuming more and more resources of the world and building up burdens of the government.Therefore,keeping one in a healthier state is not only good for oneself, but also lowering the burden of the community and the world. Thus, more and more authorities in the medical and biotechnical fields are focusing on the issue of enhancing better life quality, healthier life and body-mind function.Slimming is a popular issue, hundred of devices,products and techniques including medications were launched to the market for the purpose of body slimming.Currently, removing the subcutaneous fat through surgery or laser machines are quite popular, and found to be effective.Unfortunately, these methods are only limited to the removal of subcutaneous fat,not the visceral fat which is more hazardous to our health and lives.Lipo-suction is a surgical intervention which is carried out by surgeon. The patient has to receive anesthesia in order to have had this procedure. Any surgery and anesthesia could have a underlying risk. After the surgery, painful sensation over the suction area will last for days or weeks,in addition, after the surgery, the patient has to wear a remodeling jacket in order to keep the best shape of the body.All the aforementioned could be a problem to someone who wants to be slimmer.PurposeLipo-suction is a surgical intervention which is carried out by surgeon. The patient has to receive anesthesia in order to have had this procedure. Any surgery and anesthesia could have a underlying risk. After the surgery, painful sensation over the suction area will last for days or weeks,in addition, after the surgery, the patient has to wear a remodeling jacket in order to keep the best shape of the body.All the aforementioned could be a problem to someone who wants to be slimmer. If we can find a way to achieve the goal with minimal invasion and scary, then patients will benefit mostThis experiment using radio-frequecy(RF)for inducing internal increaseOf Temperature,patients benefit fat reduction and slimming without having any incision Wound, pain, scars,fears.The procedure will be undergone with pleasure. However, healthy life style with regular exercise and calories control is crucial to maintain the fitness after treatment.The concept of regular following up and treatment are acceptable for long term maintenance of the body contour. But need to have more study to evaluate and following up.Method:1.32 patients(12 male,20 female) with BMI>24 were treated. The circumference of the waist(around umbilicus),and 7cm above and below the waist circumference were also measured before and after treatment.And photos were taken2.They were treated with the RF machine for 1 hour once a week, measuring with ruler for the 3 above mentioned circumferences and photo taking were also carried out.3.After 5 times of treatment,the results were compared and statistic was done to see if the results are significant.4. The patients were told to keep their usual behavior instead of on a diet.Result:1.After 5 weeks'treatment,the treated people of the experiemtnal group were found to have average reduction in the circumferences of waist as following: umbilical waist circumference:6.07cm(P<0.001) It showed that the reduction of the waist circumferences after treatment is statistically significant. 7cm-above waist circumference:6.34cm (P<0.001) It showed that the reduction of the 7cm-above waist circumferences after treatment is statistically significant. 7cm-below umbilical circumference:6.68cm(P<0.001) It showed that the reduction of the 7cm-below waist circumferences after treatment is statistically significant.2. The mean reduction in body weight is 3.89kg,(P<0.001)。It showed that the reduction of the body weight after treatment is statistically significant.The mean reduction in body fat percentage 1.54%(P<0.001)。It showed that the reduction of the body fat percentage after treatment is statistically significant.ConclusionIn the experiment,the treated patient were found to have decrease in the circumferences of the waist(3 different levels),body weight and percentage of the total body fat.It showed that RF machine is effective to make people acquire the above mentioned benefits after a 5-week course of treatment.
