Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement of the FEG appearance after the ultrasound sessions, evaluated through subjective physical examination of the PAFEG and graduation in the photographic records, using the Nurnberger-Muller scale (zero stage: there is no appearance of furrows in the lying and standing positions; 1: there is no standing or lying evidence, but the skin presents a "mattress" appearance; stage 2: is evident in the standing position and does not appear when lying down; and stage 3: EGF is evidenced spontaneously both standing and lying down). Women who use hormonal contraceptives are expected to perform better than women who do not.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Observation of the intensity that presents better results in the treatment of EGF, through graduation by the photographic records. The right gluteus, which was treated with 2.5W / cm2 intensity, is expected to have a lower grade than the left one, with an intensity of 1.0W / cm2. ;Finding a change in the temperature of the area that was treated with ultrasound immediately after the application of the same. Through the thermographic records, the average gluteal temperature is expected to be reduced.
