Methods and systems for fat reduction and/or cellulite treatment

A method of non-invasively reducing fat located in a subcutaneous fat layer, the method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of fat lobuli in a subcutaneous layer below a skin surface;
• focusing ultrasound energy to ablate said fat lobuli and at least one of a dermis and a muscle layer,
• wherein the focusing ultrasound energy raises a temperature of said fat lobuli into a range from 43° C. to 49° C. to stimulate apoptosis of said fat lobuli, and
• wherein a reduction in fat occurs through the dying off of said fat lobuli.

A non-invasive method for treatment of cellulite on and for fat reduction beneath the skin, the method comprising:

• identifying fat lobuli within a region of interest;
• delivering ultrasound energy to generate a conformal lesion and to ablate in a portion of said fat lobuli and at least one of a dermis and a muscle layer;
• creating an opening in a surface of said fat lobuli with said conformal lesion, thereby removing a fluid out of said fat lobuli and through said opening, thereby reducing an appearance of cellulite on the skin;
• identifying fat cells below said fat lobuli and above said muscle layer;
• delivering a second energy to said fat cells;
• raising a temperature of said fat cells to a range from 43° C. to 49° C.;
• and
• stimulating apoptosis of said fat cells to destroy said fat cells thereby reducing fat beneath the skin.

A method for a non-invasive treatment of cellulite, the method comprising:

• identifying a fat lobuli;
• creating a sharp focal of ultrasound energy to ablate said fat lobuli and at least one of a dermis and a muscle layer;
• and
• piercing said fat lobuli with said sharp focal of ultrasound energy to create an opening to facilitate removal of a material out of said fat lobuli through said opening.
