Treatment Principle	Fat cells are sensitive to low temperatures, which can induce apoptosis (cell death) of fat cells.	A fat-dissolving technology based on plasma photothermal theory that uniformly liquefies fat cells.	Uses high thermal energy targeted at areas of fat accumulation in the legs.	Laser energy breaks down and destroys fat cells in the body.	Uses specialized instruments to suction out excess fat.
