چکیده
The demand for body contouring is increasing rapidly and has generated the need for a variety of non-invasive body contouring devices. This review concentrates on three popular "hands-free" body contouring devices and analyzes their mechanism of action, as well as their evidence of safety and ef cacy. It also addresses some issues of usability from both the operators' and patients' point of view. J Drugs Dermatol. 2016;15(11):1402-1406..
