Ultrasonic cavitation Vs Liposonix. Which is best?

Question

I want to permanently kill or remove fat cells. (adipocytes) What is the difference between "Ultrasonic cavitation" and "Liposonix". Both sounds same for me. My doctor said "Ultrasonic cavitation" does not remove fatcells permanantly. However it is confusing to me because some doctors say "Ultrasonic cavitation" disrupts fatcells permanantly. So please explain which is effective method. ( I don't care about the released fat liquid from disrupted fat cells. I only care about fat cells.)

Liposonix uses focused ultrasound to destroy localized fat cells with a high degree of precision. The term "ultrasonic cavitation" appears to be used in different ways; strictly speaking, it describes a physical reaction to ultrasound that can occur under certain conditions. There is however apparently a treatment being marketed with that terminology but I have seen no evidence that it produces a lasting effect if any. Liposonix is well documented in published studies in peer-reviewed literature and FDA-cleared.

Liposonix is FDA approved and works by destroying fat cells "in its area of treatment". It is highly effective and most importantly FDA approved with clinical efficacy. In one session, it is shown to reduce an inch of fat in the selected areas of treatment. The average waistline reduction after just a single one-hour treatment is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) – which typically means one dress or pant size.
