high intensity focused electromagnetic technology's secondary effects are observed in the fat (adipose). within 8 h of a treatment session, apoptotic levels in adipose increased 91.7%.8 In addition, after the application of the high intensity electromagnetic technique, there is an increase in the rapid release of free fatty acids, so it can be used in weight loss
