Still Waters Posted November 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Sometimes no amount of dieting or exercise can shift the unwanted pounds that gather on thighs and stomachs.Now, it seems, science has found a way to 'sing' them away. The new Ultra system painlessly 'shatters' fat cells using ultrasound, leaving the deposits to be harmlessly disposed of by the body. Nicknamed the Opera Singer, it uses vibrating ultrasound notes at different pitches to 'pop' the fat cells, like a singer shattering a glass by hitting the right note. This month, the machine began treating British patients for the first time. There are no risks from infection, scarring or anaesthetic, unlike liposuction, which uses surgery to suck out excess fat. The targeted cells are just below the skin and the fat passes into the lymph channels and then the veins before being processed by the liver. It is then burned off as calories or stored more evenly in the body. Read more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
