Abstract in brief

  • The study found that high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is effective and safe for noninvasive abdominal fat reduction, showing a significant average reduction of 3.43 cm in waist circumference at 8 weeks post-treatment.
  • The treatment involved two sessions at different energy levels, with noticeable cumulative effects on fat reduction, and was well tolerated with manageable pain levels.
  • Secondary measures like body weight, fat thickness, and aesthetic improvement also showed positive changes, supporting HIFU as a promising option for body shaping in nonobese individuals.]
