Localized adiposity is the accumulation of small amounts of adipose tissue in specific areas of the body, causing a visible increase in volume and altering the overall shape of the body contour. This aesthetic problem most frequently affects women. This research aims to determine the effects of combining photobiomodulation and aerobic exercise will help treat localized adiposity in the abdominal region in female patients aged 20 to 25 years. The research was framed within a series of cases, where a comparison was made between two therapeutic interventions; 6 patients were divided into 2 groups: group (A) patients undergoing treatment with photobiomodulation plus aerobic exercise, group (B) patients with only the application of photobiomodulation. A dermatofunctional assessment form was developed for initial data collection. After the assessment, the therapeutic approach was implemented through the application of photobiomodulation and aerobic exercises established during 10 sessions, 3 times a week, obtaining greater effectiveness in group (A). The results showed greater effectiveness in group A, evidencing a significant reduction in abdominal adiposity, as well as improvements in the anthropometric parameters evaluated. It is concluded that the combination of photobiomodulation and aerobic exercises is an effective strategy for the treatment of localized adiposity in women.
