  • Method and device for destroying fat cells by induction of programmed cell death
    Patent number: 6354297
    Abstract: The destruction of undesired fat cells is achieved by use of a device and method whereby apoptosis inducing factors are delivered to undesired fat cells. Adipose inducing factors, such as UV light, IL-1, TNF and dexamethasone are brought into contact with undesired fat cells through the use of an endoscopic device which facilitates conveyance of such factors to such cells. Repeated delivery of such adipose inducing factors can be achieved by having fiberoptic fibers and/or conveyance tubes left beneath a patient's skin in contact with undesired fat.
