L'emissione di ultrasuoni ad alta frequenza riesce a ridurre del 90% l'aspetto a buccia d'arancia tipico della cellulite. Si tratta di una metodica relativamente recente e negli Stati Uniti è stata ribattezzata "cotox of body contouring" per l'effetto migliorativo su cosce e glutei e scomparsa di irregolarità e avvallamenti tipici della cellulite. Gli ultrasuoni per applicazione esterna, stimolano il tessuto lipodistrofico, provocano un "massaggio" profondo, maggiore vascolarizzazione e consumo dei grassi contenuti negli adipociti.

The treatment by ultrasounds at 3 MHz has been found to be particularly effective due to the following factors:
It is possible to treat all stages of cellulitis.
The therapy affects only the parts treated and has no side effects: the selective breakdown and fusion of the hardened connective tissue with consequent metabolic releasing of subcutaneous fat does not occur as a results of pharmacological processes but is instead an effect of the energetic mechanical action of the ultrasound waves.
The excess liquids and metabolic waste are removed by a process of natural re-absorption by the lymphatic system, promoted by the sequential activation of the ultrasonic emissions (termed "Lymph drainage" (lymphatic drainage)) which exerts a lymphatic draining action affecting the underlying tissue down to a cellular level, with excellent results noticeable from the first application.
Ultrasounds increase the permeability of the skin, so if an anticellulitis cream is used instead plain GEL, the absorption is greatly improved.
