The Effect of a Slimming System Including a Lipolytic Cream and an Isometric Abdominal Exercise Regime and a Garment on Skin Temperature

Topical creams composed of aminophylline and/or caffeine increase fat lipolysis in subcutaneous fat. If this occurs, then skin temperature should increase after cream application due to an increase in tissue metabolism. Experiments were conducted where the temperature effect from the combination of exercise, a cream containing aminophylline and caffeine, and a garment was assessed using infrared thermography. There were 52 subjects in the experiments (32 investigational and 20 controls). Baseline measurements were taken prior to the treatments. Participants then followed a 10-minute slimming system protocol which included applying the lipolytic cream (lipolytic group) , wearing an elastic compression belt for 10 minutes, and performing 3 minutes of abdominal contractions. Controls followed the same procedure, but used a placebo cream. Skin temperature measurements were then repeated after the belt was taken off and at 1, 2, and 3 hours post-belt removal. There were no significant differences in the skin temperature in the first 15 minutes after the cream was applied. Over the next 3 hours, skin temperature significantly increased for the lipolytic group (p<0.01) to a final value 5.08 degrees C above the baseline precream temperature. The more overweight the subjects were, the greater the increase in skin temperature due to the thicker fat layer altered by the lipolytic cream. The correlation between skin temperature and BMI was significant (p<0.05). Controls only showed a very small temperature increase for the first 2 hours attributed to the abdominal exercise. Thus, a single application of the cream, belt and exercise had long lasting effects on fat metabolism as measured by skin
