How Ultrasound Energy Removes Fat: Mechanism, Benefits, and Clinical Evidence
Key Takeaways By delivering focused high-frequency sound waves, ultrasound energy can selectively rupture subcutaneous fat cells without damaging nearby tissue. This is why it’s considered less invasive than surgical liposuction. Ultrasound energy helps fat removal. In brief, cavitation and mechanical vibrations break down fat into fatty acids and glycerol, which the lymphatic system clears over time. Hence, results take time and multiple sessions are often needed. Treatment success is a function of frequency, intensity, and duration settings, personalized to target depth and fat thickness for efficacy, safety, and comfort.
