Removal of excess localized fat deposits using non-invasive techniques

Abstract

Review of modern non-invasive methods of localizedfat deposits removal, classification of liposuction methods, mechanisms of action are described. The basics of biological effects on tissue, the results of clinical trials, efficiency of the methods are presented. The method of cryolipolysis is described in details.

Keywords
