Do radio frequency treatments actually kill fat cells or just shrink them / cause them to leak?

Terrific249385
Hello. I am confused about whether or not radio frequency targeted to “kill” fat cells such as Emsculpt Neo , Exilis, etc . actually kill the fat cells or just cause them to leak. I’ve heard different things from different doctors. I know Coolsculpting kills the fat. Does radio frequency measure up to Coolsculpting in killing fat cells forever or is it just temporary shrinkage? Thank you. :)
