ABSTRACT:
Electromedical apparatus is employed to non-invasively remove adipose tissue from the body by causing necrosis thereof by localizing (e.g., focusing) radiant energy. The radiant energy may be of any suitable kind, for example, localized radio frequency, microwave or ultrasound energy, which is impinged upon the cells to be eliminated. Cell destruction occurs through a mechanism such as, e.g., heating or mechanical disruption beyond a level which the adipose tissue can survive.
