Does ultrasound break down fat?
One cosmetic application of ultrasound is cavitation, which is used to break down fat tissue. However, you should know that the cavitation effect depends on the ultrasound frequency, so not all ultrasound has a significant fat-reducing effect. You can expect a strong cavitation effect only at frequencies below 640 kHz, while therapeutic 1 MHz ultrasound produces a minimal effect, and 3 MHz an almost negligible one.
