Safety and Efficacy of Transform for Noninvasive Lipolysis and Circumference Reduction of the Abdomen

Noninvasive body contouring has seen a precipitous rise in popularity since its advent in the early 2000s. With this rise in popularity, there has been an expansion in the types and number of noninvasive devices for muscle hypertrophy and fat lipolysis. The Transform radiofrequency and electrical mu...

description Noninvasive body contouring has seen a precipitous rise in popularity since its advent in the early 2000s. With this rise in popularity, there has been an expansion in the types and number of noninvasive devices for muscle hypertrophy and fat lipolysis. The Transform radiofrequency and electrical muscle stimulation device is a newly introduced device for noninvasive abdominal body contouring. The present study is a prospective clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of the Transform device on abdominal circumference. Fifteen patients were enrolled and received three treatment sessions with the Transform device. On average, patients saw changes in abdominal circumference (−0.43 cm, P = 0.48), caliper pinch thickness (−6.07 mm, P = 0.0036), and ultrasound fat thickness (−5.40 mm, P < 0.001) at 3 months posttreatment with minimal discomfort and high patient satisfaction. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that the Transform device is a safe and effective noninvasive option for fat lipolysis and muscular hypertrophy.
