1. A method for lysing cellulite comprising the steps of:
- directing focused ultrasonic energy at a target volume in a region of a body containing cellulite; and
modulating said focused ultrasonic energy so as to selectively lyse said cellulite in said target volume and generally not lyse non-cellulite tissue in said target volume.

Abstract
A methodology and system for lysis or induction of apoptosis in cellulite and fat including directing ultrasonic energy at a multiplicity of target volumes within the region, which target volumes contain cellulite and fat, thereby to selectively lyse or induce apoptosis in the cellulite and fat in the target volumes and generally not lyse or not induce apoptosis in non-cellulite and non-fat tissue in the target volumes and computerized tracking of the multiplicity of target volumes notwithstanding movement of the body.

22. A method for lysing cellulite comprising the steps of:
-
generating, at a source outside a body, ultrasonic energy which selectively generally lyses cellulite and generally does not lyse non-cellulite tissue; and
directing said ultrasonic energy, from said source outside said body, at a target volume in a region of said body containing cellulite. - View Dependent Claims (23)

41. A method for lysing cellulite comprising the steps of:
-
defining a region in a body at least partially by detecting spatial indications on said body;
directing ultrasonic energy at a multiplicity of target volumes containing cellulite within said region, thereby to selectively lyse said cellulite in said target volumes and generally not lyse non-cellulite tissue in said target volumes.
