Abstract
A system for treating fat tissue, including: an ultrasound applicator, including: two or more ultrasound transducers configured to generate and direct ultrasonic waves to a selected tissue volume including fat tissue; a control unit, including: a control circuitry electrically connected to the two or more ultrasound transducers, wherein the control circuitry is configured to activate the two or more ultrasound transducers to heat the selected tissue volume.
Claims27
A system for treating fat tissue, comprising:
- an ultrasound applicator, comprising:
- at least one ultrasound transducer configured to generate unfocused ultrasonic waves in a frequency range of 1-7 MHz and direct said unfocused ultrasonic waves to a selected tissue volume comprising fat tissue in a hypodermis tissue layer;
- a control unit, comprising:
- a control circuitry electrically connected to said at least one ultrasound transducer, wherein said control circuitry is configured to activate said at least one ultrasound transducer to heat said selected tissue volume without causing damage to other tissue layers near the selected tissue volume.
2-3. (canceled)
A system according to claim 54, wherein said at least two ultrasound transducers are positioned at an angle relative to each other, and wherein said angle is smaller than 180 degrees.
