Abstract
Chronic pain, edema, and lipodystrophy are common issues in post-menopausal women, often linked to hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunctions, and chronic inflammation. Traditional treatments, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and aesthetic procedures, frequently provide limited and temporary relief. This case series evaluates the effectiveness of radio electric asymmetric conveyor (REAC) technology specifically, the anti-cellulite treatment (ACT), circulatory optimization (CO), and metabolic optimization (MO) protocols in four post-menopausal women presenting with these conditions. Each patient underwent 18 sessions of ACT, CO, and MO protocols using the REAC Bio-Enhancer Neuro-Enhancer (BENE) 110 medical device (ASMED Srl, Scandicci Florence, Italy), with asymmetric conveyor probes (ACPs) symmetrically positioned on the quadriceps. The ACT protocol targeted skin and subcutaneous tissue biomechanical properties, the CO protocol focused on enhancing circulation and reducing edema, and the MO protocol aimed to restore metabolic balance. The results demonstrated significant improvements across all patients, with reductions in pain (9/10 to 3/10), edema, and lipodystrophy, as well as enhanced mood and overall well-being. Objective measures, such as reductions in thigh circumference and improvements in inflammatory markers, further supported the systemic benefits of REAC ACT, CO, and MO treatments. These findings suggest that REAC protocols offer a comprehensive and effective non-invasive treatment for chronic inflammatory and metabolic conditions in post-menopausal women.
