Are there similar machines or technology?
Just as there have been vast improvements in computer technology over the past decade, there have been vast improvements in this form of technology; both in the medical field for pain and healing management, and in the beauty and health field for cosmetic enhancement management. In the beauty field, cellulite creams, microcurrent technology, vacuuming, and suction plus massage therapy equipment are being used. Other ‘slimming machines’ which use electric currents to stimulate muscles, can tone muscle but not break down fat or cause weight loss. People are excited about this technology for fat reduction. Electrolipolysis uses a current to break down triglycerides, fat molecules stored in fat cells into smaller ‘free fatty acids’. In this form, fat can pass from the fat cell membrane into surrounding tissue. The free fatty acids then pass into the lymphatic system, the body’s drains, and are eventually excreted in the urine.
