An apparatus and a method for treating adipose tissue lo-cated beneath a patient's skin is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a sonotrode 140 and an ultrasound transducer 130 operative to induce longitudinal and/or transversal ultrasound vibrations in a least a portion of the sonotrode 140. In some embodiments, the apparatus provides a "cold" or "transverse" mode where ultrasound energy delivered to the patient is primarily energy of transverse ultrasound waves, and a "hot" or "longitudinal" mode where ultrasound energy delivered to the pa-tient is primarily energy of longitudinal ultrasound waves. The longitudinal waves may be useful for 'pre-heating' tissue of the patient before delivering the transverse waves.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé destinés à traiter un tissu adipeux situé sous la peau dun patient. Dans certains modes de réalisation, lappareil inclut une sonotrode 140 et un capteur ultrasonore 130 permettant dinduire des vibrations ultrasonores longitudinales et/ou transversales dans au moins une partie de la sonotrode 140. Dans certains modes de réalisation, ledit appareil fournit un mode « froid » ou « transversal », lénergie ultrasonore fournie au patient étant essentiellement de lénergie dultrasons transversaux, et un mode « chaud » ou « longitudinal », lénergie ultrasonore fournie au patient étant essentiellement de lénergie dultrasons longitudinaux. Les ultrasons longitudinaux peuvent être utiles pour le « préchauffage » des tissus du patient avant lapplication dondes transversales.
