ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for body toning which includes the reduction of total body fat content. The method includes squeezing a fatty area of an individual's body with an energized pair of electrodes or probes so as to pass an electrical signal through the fatty area which is sufficient to rupture or break down fat cells in the fatty area. The electrical signal is set so that it has a frequency preferably between 15 and 60 Hz and a current between about 2000 and 3600 micro amperes. The squeezing technique is preferably followed with a technique referred to as gliding. Gliding involves adjusting the energization of the probes so that they preferably generate a signal having a frequency of between about 125 and 600 Hz and a current of between about 1600 and 2400 microamps. The probes are then moved slowly, actually glided, in spaced unison over the previously treated area in a fashion which is believed to push or facilitate absorption of the fat cell contents into the body fluid where it is ultimately excreted from the body.
