1. A treatment system for reducing body perimeter at a region of treatment, said treatment system comprising:
- an ultrasound apparatus, for transmitting ultrasound waves to said region of treatment, at an intensity of between 1.5 W/cm2 to 3 W/cm2, wherein the operational frequency of said ultrasound apparatus is varied over time during a treatment session; and
an electrical stimulation apparatus, for applying electrical stimulation to said region of treatment simultaneously with said transmission of ultrasound waves, wherein said electrical stimulation comprises interferential stimulation, wherein the operational frequency of said electrical stimulation apparatus is varied over time during the treatment session;
wherein the operational frequency of the ultrasound apparatus is varied at a rate that is inversely proportional to a rate at which the operational frequency of said electrical stimulation apparatus is varied during the same treatment session.

Abstract
A treatment system and method for reducing body perimeter, primarily aimed at reducing cellulite and/or fat at a region of treatment. Ultrasound waves and pressure exertion are applied to the region of treatment, preferably simultaneously. The pressure exersion may include manual or mechanical massage, and/or electrical muscle stimulation. An optional ultrasonic transducer head is utilized to apply also pressure and massage. Preferable frequencies and intensities of the ultrasound and the stimulation are also provided.
