INTRODUCTION: Body disharmony syndrome (CDS) includes the presence of fibroedema geloid (EGF), adiposity, increased total body fat and muscle weakness, often associated with these disorders and aesthetic pose a threat to the emotional integrity of the individual, where a variety therapies have been proposed for treatment. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) and eletrolipoforese in the treatment of changes caused by fibroedema geloid. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 22 volunteers, aged 17-35 years, presence of EGF and grades 1 or 2 in the buttocks, sedentary and contraceptive use. The variables were previously perimetry, sensitivity, pain, personal satisfaction, calipers, photographic assessment, bipolar electrical bioimpedance. Ten sessions were held with TU in 11 of the volunteers and the other 11 volunteers received treatment for eletrolipoforese. All techniques were applied bilaterally in the gluteal region, three times a week, and at the end of the treatment variables were evaluated. Statistical analysis was applied the Student t-test to verify the significance between the results obtained in each treatment and between treatments. Level of significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant difference in girth, skinfold and BIA after their treatments. In the photographic evaluation was no improvement in visual appearance of EGF in 68.18% of the participants. Personal satisfaction increased in both groups (p = 0.03* UST eletrolipólise and p = 0.04*). CONCLUSION: The treatments showed an improvement in the visual aspect of the EGF and personal satisfaction, but not altered perimetric measures, calipers and bioelectrical impedance.
