This procedure is noninvasive: instead of using a scalpel, it relies on low-frequency sound waves to separate fat deposits from the rest of your body.

It is a non-invasive procedure, which means it doesn't involve surgery or needles. It's considered a safe alternative to liposuction and other invasive methods of fat removal, and there's no recovery time or pain involved. During a treatment session, ultrasound waves are directed at problem areas on your body in order to break down fat cells. Over time, your liver will process these broken-down cells and eliminate them from your body as waste.
