AB - The aim of this study is to investigate the combined effect of acupotomy, selective cryolysis andherbal medicine therapy for treating regional fat accumulation of thigh. Twenty-four patients wereselected for the study. A session of selective cryolysis and acupotomy treatments wereperformed on both thighs once a week, for four weeks, with administration of herbal medicine.
Thigh circumference, weight, body mass index (BMI), skeletal muscle mass, and body fat ratewere measured before and after the procedure. Statistical significance (P<0.05) was determinedusing the paired t-test. After treatments, thigh circumference was significantly reduced by3.57±1.41 cm in 4 weeks (P<0.001). Weight, BMI, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat rate toowere significantly reduced (P<0.001). Of the 24 patients, 1 reported an adverse event offrostbite. We assume this combined therapy can be useful when dealing with localized fataccumulation. Long-term evaluation and further studies are required to identify the specific effectsize.
