Methods for non-invasive fat reduction can include targeting a region of interest below a surface of skin, which contains fat and delivering ultrasound energy to the region of interest. The ultrasound energy generates a thermal lesion with said ultrasound energy on a fat cell. The lesion can create an opening in the surface of the fat cell, which allows the draining of a fluid out of the fat cell and through the opening. In addition, by applying ultrasound energy to fat cells to increase the temperature to between 43 degrees and 49 degrees, cell apoptosis can be realized, thereby resulting in reduction of fat.

Embodiments of a dermatological cosmetic treatment and imaging system and method can include use of transducer and a reflective surface to simultaneously produce multiple cosmetic treatment zones in tissue. The system can include a hand wand, a removable transducer module, a control module, a graphical user interface and / or a parabolic reflector. In some embodiments, the cosmetic treatment system may be used in cosmetic procedures, including brow lifts, fat reduction, sweat reduction, and treatment of the décolletage. Skin tightening, lifting and amelioration of wrinkles and stretch marks are provided.

Described herein, inter alia, are compositions, formulations, methods, and systems for reducing regional fat deposits and treating fat-related conditions.

A noninvasive method of reducing fat from targeted regions of a patient's body by applying low-level laser energy externally through the skin of the patient to the targeted areas. Sufficient laser energy is applied to release at least a portion of intracellular fat into the interstitial space. The released intracellular fat is removed from the body through the body's natural functions. The preferred embodiment uses laser energy at about 635 nm.

Devices and methods for tissue treatment produce a shock wave therapy and electromagnetic field therapy. The shock wave therapy provides stimulation of the blood circulation and stimulates the treated cells. The electromagnetic field enables thermal treatment of tissue. Combination of both therapies improves soft tissue treatment, mainly connective tissue in the skin area and fat reduction.

An automated identification, weight measurement and data reporting system that allows users to have their weight measured at a remote location and sent electronically to a data center. The invention can use biometric identification technology to confirm the identity of the user at the time of the measurement of the user's weight. The user's body weight may be measured via an electronic scale connected to the biometric identification device. The measurement data is then sent via a network (such as the Internet) to a central database. This secure weight measurement data is then used to offer incentives to individuals to lose weight. The more weight an individual loses, the larger the earned incentives. The invention also includes programs to measure health functions and to provide incentives to improve their health including body fat reduction, quitting smoking, reducing their blood pressure, or other health function.

A fat-reduction weight-loss method, comprising: firstly, locally heating a site in need of fat-reduction under 37 to 60°C until the blood and muscles separate from the fat; then, locally freezing the site in need of fat-reduction under -10 to 5°C until the fat solidifies. Also disclosed is a weight-loss instrument using the fat-reduction weight-loss method, comprising: an input unit (A) for receiving a user operation and outputting a signal representing the user operation to a control unit (B); a control unit (B) for outputting a heating signal or a freezing signal to a heating and freezing unit (C) according to the received signal representing the user operation; and a heating and freezing unit (C) for receiving the heating signal or freezing signal of the control unit (B) and conducting the heating or freezing operation. The fat-reduction weight-loss method at first locally heats the site in need of fat-reduction to separate the blood and muscles from the fat at the site in need of fat-reduction, then instantaneously freezes the site in need of fat-reduction to solidify the fat, thus avoiding the harms such as tissue necrosis and the like caused by the solidification of the blood and muscles together with the fat in the freezing fat-reduction process.
