Nowadays increasingly quest for improved physical appearance, gradually developing the medicine of beauty, where the radio fits as an additional tool in helping some aging processes and maintenance of body shape. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the changes in the thickness of adipose tissue and blood levels of some biochemical markers of sedentary and active women who underwent radio frequency technique via ultrasound imaging and laboratory tests. Seven (7) sessions were held, each lasting 20 minutes each, 22 volunteers allocated into two groups, sedentary and physically active.
