In this pilot study, the effects of using amplified radio-frequency energy in the medium wave delivery range, in conjunction with exercise intervention, were investigated for their potential reduction of abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of combined intervention on the volume of abdominal fat, analyzing changes in lipid profile, metabolic factors, and inflammatory markers. Thirty-four participants were selected and assigned to a 10-day intervention utilizing a Capenergy device every weekday except Saturday and Sunday. This involved the application of amplified energy through a belt covering the abdominal area of 800 cm A statistically significant decrease was noted in both subcutaneous and visceral fat in the abdominal area, as well as a decrease in weight, waist-to-hip, and all biochemical values, without side effects, just a slight redness. These effects on abdominal fat were maintained at the 6-month follow-up with no reports of regaining fat. The utilization of amplified radiofrequency with an abdominal belt with static electrodes and temperature sensors, together with exercise intervention, has significant potential for reducing abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat, while also improving associated factors safely and effectively, even after a follow-up period.

In this pilot study, the effects of using amplified radio‐frequency energy in the medium wave delivery range, in conjunction with exercise intervention, were investigated for their potential reduction of abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat.ObjectivesThe study aimed to evaluate the effects of combined intervention on the volume of abdominal fat, analyzing changes in lipid profile, metabolic factors, and inflammatory markers.MethodsThirty‐four participants were selected and assigned to a 10‐day intervention utilizing a Capenergy device every weekday except Saturday and Sunday. This involved the application of amplified energy through a belt covering the abdominal area of 800 cm2 followed by a 45‐min submaximal aerobic exercise. Measurements were conducted pretreatment and after the intervention. Lipid profile, leptin, insulin, and protein C were measured. Body fat was measured by MRI of the entire abdomen. Follow‐up measurements were also taken at the 6‐month mark.ResultsA statistically significant decrease was noted in both subcutaneous and visceral fat in the abdominal area, as well as a decrease in weight, waist‐to‐hip, and all biochemical values, without side effects, just a slight redness. These effects on abdominal fat were maintained at the 6‐month follow‐up with no reports of regaining fat.ConclusionThe utilization of amplified radiofrequency with an abdominal belt with static electrodes and temperature sensors, together with exercise intervention, has significant potential for reducing abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat, while also improving associated factors safely and effectively, even after a follow‐up period.Trial Registration: NCT0637735825:[[["$","script","0",{"type":"application/ld+json","dangerouslySetInnerHTML":{"__html":"{\"@context\":\"https://schema.org\",\"@type\":\"CollectionPage\",\"name\":\"Radiofrequency Device: modality Research & Clinical Takeaways\",\"description\":\"Explore peer-reviewed papers on Radiofrequency Device (modality).
