- | The following my empirical opinions: | ||
- | |||
- | Keep the hifu in one spot for 10 seconds and move 1cm at a time to cover desired area. Schedule in the morning and have a single meal that day at 3pm to reduce fat reabsorption. | ||

- | Ultrasound gel is used as a coupling medium in all ultrasound procedures to replace air between the transducer and the patient’s skin, as ultrasound waves have trouble in traveling through air.\\ | ||
- | ...\\ | ||
- | At the borderline between media of distinctive acoustic impedances, some of the wave energy is transmitted and some is reflected. The larger the gap in acoustic impedance between the two media, the more prominent will be the reflection, and the less there will be the transmission. For diagnostic ultrasound (US), ultrasound gel having acoustic impedance comparable to soft tissue (1.6 Mrayl) is necessary for the complete transmission of ultrasound waves.\\ | ||
- | ...\\ | ||
- | The acoustic impedance of the selected formulation (S1) was 1.45 Mrayl and the acoustic impedance of commercial gel (CG) was 1.5 Mrayl. The results showed that the acoustic impedance of both was very close and similar to the impedance of soft tissues (1.6 Mrayl). The intensity reflection coefficient tells us that 0.6% of sound waves reflect at the boundary between gel and human skin, while 99.4% transmit through the skin, and it is opposite without ultrasound gel.
