N2 - The reduction of local fat using invasive methods such as liposuction is performed with excellent results. Chances of complications (1,2) have led scientists to look into the treatment of local fat accumulation (in tummy, thighs, buttocks, etc.) in non-invasive methods (3,4). Many non-invasive techniques with temporary effects have been implemented such as radio frequency, cryolipolysis, low power laser, mesotherapy (5). However, the application of ultrasound as a non-invasive procedure contributes to the effective treatment of local fat. For local fat reduction, tightening, or both, lowintensity and low-frequency non-thermal ultrasound and High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) have been implemented.(6,7,8).
