Ultrasound systems - What do you need to look out for?

When considering ultrasound systems in weight loss therapy, there are some important factors to consider:

1. Frequency: Ultrasound therapy devices for use in fat reduction are generally equipped with a frequency of 40 kHz to 3 MHz. The higher the frequency, the lower the penetration depth of the ultrasound into the tissue. A higher frequency is recommended for the treatment of surface fat, while a lower frequency is preferred for deeper fat deposits.
2. Intensity: The intensity of the ultrasound should be adjusted individually to achieve maximum effect. Too high a level of intensity can damage the surrounding tissue, while too low an intensity may have no effect.
3. Area of application: Make sure that the device is approved for the desired area of application. There are devices for use on different areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs or hips.
4. Safety: Make sure that the device is safe to use. The device should have protective mechanisms to protect the surrounding tissue from damage.
5. Certification: Make sure that the device is certified and complies with the applicable safety standards.
6. Frequency of use: Make sure that the device is approved for the desired area of application. Too frequent use can lead to skin irritation or other undesirable side effects.

It is important to note that ultrasound therapy devices should not be considered the sole method of weight loss. A healthy diet, sufficient exercise and a healthy lifestyle are also important factors for sustainable weight loss. However, ultrasound therapy devices can be used as an additional aid to fat reduction. However, you should always consult a doctor or healthcare professional before using an ultrasound therapy device.
