Abstract
Provided herein are systems and methods that use synchronized laser and ultrasound energy to break up adipose tissue. The systems and method find use for therapeutic and/or cosmetic removal of adipose tissue.
Claims33
A method comprising:
- treating adipose tissue with synchronized ultrasound and laser.
The method of claim 24, wherein the HIFU transducer further conducts a repetition of 1000 cycles of an ultrasound burst at 10 Hz (2% duty cycle) 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the ultrasound burst of 1000 cycles repeated at 10 Hz (2% duty cycle) is configured to minimize the effect of heat during the treatment.
A system comprising an ultrasound generator, a laser, and a controller that synchronizes ultrasound energy with laser energy.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
