CELLULITE ULTRASOUND TREATMENT

摘要

A treatment system for reducing body perimeter, primarily aimed at reducing cellulite or fat, at a region of treatment. The system includes an ultrasound apparatus and an electrical stimulation apparatus. The ultrasound apparatus transmits ultrasound waves to the region of treatment, at an intensity between 1.5 W/cm2 to 3 W/cm2. The operational frequency of the ultrasound apparatus can be varied over time during a treatment session. The electrical stimulation apparatus applies interferential electrical stimulation to the region of treatment simultaneously to the ultrasound transmission. The operational frequency of the electrical stimulation apparatus can be varied over time during the treatment session. The operational frequency of the ultrasound apparatus can be varied at a rate that is inversely proportional to a rate at which the operational frequency of the electrical stimulation apparatus can be varied during the same treatment session. Pressure exertion may also be applied at the region of treatment.
