Abstract
Introduction: Gynoid lipodystrophy, marked by the disproportionate accumulation of adipose tissue in the subcutaneous layer of the skin, significantly affects self-esteem and body perception, motivating the search for effective solutions. Endermology and radiofrequency technologies, especially when combined in the innovative Refreeze technology, promise advances in the treatment of this condition. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating endermology and radiofrequency in reducing cellulite and improving skin texture. Methodology: A systematic review of studies published between 2005 and 2023 was carried out; the applicability and results of this therapeutic combination were evaluated. Conclusion: The findings indicate a significant improvement in skin texture and reduction in the appearance of cellulite, validating Refreeze technology as a less invasive and more effective approach.
