Abstract: System and method for reducing stored body fats in a treatment region on a body. The system includes an ultrasound apparatus, for transmitting ultrasound waves at the treatment region. The ultrasound waves facilitate the release of triglycerides, fat molecules and toxins from stored fat within the treatment region, achieving the reduction of stored body fats by accelerating the relative proportion of fat catabolism in the treatment region. The treated person may be undergoing a physical exercise substantially concurrently to the ultrasound transmission. Electrical stimulation, such as interferential stimulation, may be applied to the treatment region substantially concurrently to the ultrasound transmission. Pressure may be exerted onto the treatment region substantially concurrently to the ultrasound transmission, such as by kneading a portion of the ultrasound apparatus against the treatment region, or by massaging the treatment region, manually or mechanically with a massaging device.
Abstract: A treatment system and method for reducing body perimeter, primarily aimed at reducing cellulite and/or fat at a region of treatment. Ultrasound waves and pressure exertion are applied to the region of treatment, preferably simultaneously. The pressure exersion may include manual or mechanical massage, and/or electrical muscle stimulation. An optional ultrasonic transducer head is utilized to apply also pressure and massage. Preferable frequencies and intensities of the ultrasound and the stimulation are also provided.
