Is Low Frequency Ultrasound (20-32 KHZ) for Lipolysis As Effective As High Frequency Ultrasound?

Angelina Harrison
I have reviewed a few studies in Europe that have proven Low Frequency Ultrasound for lipolysis (20-32 KHZ) more affective then High frequency ultrasound. Is this true and does it actually implode the fat cells? Is it safe?. One company in the United States offers LFU for fat reduction and states that the fat cells are removed naturally resulting in a 1-2" waist circumferance reduction. I though LFU has not been approved by the FDA in the US?
