Ultrasonic cavitation technology enables concentrated sonic energy to be directed only at localized treatment areas, and is thus capable of selectively disrupting the subcutaneous fat cells through thousands of microscopic implosions impacting the fat cell membranes.
After the breakdown of adipose tissue (fat cell membrane), fat is released into interstitial fluid between cells, where it is enzymatically metabolized into glycerol and free fatty acids. Water-soluble glycerol travels into the circulatory system to generate energy while insoluble free fatty acids enter the liver to be decomposed like any other simple fatty acids.
