Uses an ultrasound wave to mechanically disturb the cell membrane of the fat cell. The ultrasound wave creates a vibration within the fat layer, the fat cells do not have the structural capacity to with stand vibration and the cell membrane will very quickly break down.
These broken cells the release the triglycerides (stored inside the fat cell) into the interstitial space in between the cells, where they are enzymatically changed into free fatty acid and glycerol.
Water soluble glycerol is absorbed by the circulatory system and used as the energy source.
Insoluble fatty acids are transported to the liver and processed
