The adipose tissue is specialized in storing energy as fat. It is primarily composed by the lipocytes also known as fat cells. The technique uses low frequency ultrasound. The ultrasound waves are conducted through the skin, penetrate directly into the adipose tissue and break it up into small pieces causing micro-bubbles which turn fat into a liquid substance (this phenomena is called "cavitation"). The liquid is then easily vacuumed out from the body using the lymphatic and urinary system.

When you work out, you have to wait until half an hour for the cavitation to happen, with Ultrasound, it is reached from the first minute of treatment.

Finally, it requires under no circumstances surgery or anesthesia.
