- The device then fires high frequency ultrasound waves to specific areas, breaking down fat cells which are absorbed into the patient’s system and then burned by the body, similar to the way the body naturally clears damaged tissue in a bruise. During a half hour treatment, about a pint of flab can be removed; the patient can then return a month later for additional treatments.
