1. A system comprising:
- an optical device configured to illuminate a region of a body at a selective peak wavelength and at a selective power density for a selective time period to reduce lipid content of adipocytes in the body; and
a controller connected to the optical device to determine the selective wavelength, the selective power density and the selective time period to stimulate lipolysis in the adipocytes.

14. A system for reducing pain in a body, said system comprising:
-
a support to hold a region of the body; an array of LEDs configured to output a peak wavelength with a selective power density at the region of the body for a selective time period sufficient to reduce pain in the region of the body; a stand to hold the array of LEDs at a selective distance above the region of the body; and a controller connected to the LEDs and the adjustable stand, said controller configured to transmit a signal to one of the stand or the support to vary the selective distance, and said controller configured to modulate an output of the LEDs at a selective frequency based on a transmission of an input signal to the LEDs at the selective frequency, wherein the selective frequency is based on one of an internal modulation signal or an external modulation signal. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A method for reducing lipid content of adipocytes in a body, said method comprising:
-
positioning a region of the body on a support; determining a selective peak wavelength of radiation from an optical device to the region of the body to stimulate lipolysis in the adipocytes in the region of the body; determining a selective power density of radiation at the region of the body to stimulate lipolysis in the adipocytes, including varying a selective distance between the optical device and the region of the body; determining a selective time period to transmit the radiation from the optical device to the region of the body, based on the varying of the selective distance; and illuminating the region of the body with radiation from the optical device at the selective peak wavelength and with the selective power density at the region of the body for the selective time period to stimulate lipolysis in the adipocytes in the region of the body, including modulating the radiation at a selective frequency. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
