Claim 0:
1. A method of treating gynoid lipodystrophy, the method comprising:
applying high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy to a tissue region below a skin surface;
injecting a first compound into the tissue region treated by the HIFU;
wherein the first compound comprises a dermal filler,
wherein the dermal filler comprises calcium hydroxyapatite, and

injecting a second compound into the tissue region treated by the HIFU;
wherein the second compound comprises a fat-reducing compound,
wherein the fat-reducing compound comprises polidocanol,

administering a second treatment 90±10 days later, comprising:
focusing the second HIFU at a depth 1.5 mm below the skin surface,
wherein the second HIFU therapy is applied at 10 MHz,
wherein the second calcium hydroxyapatite is injected in a dermis layer below the skin surface,
wherein the second calcium hydroxyapatite is provided in a final concentration of 25-31% w/w,
wherein the second polidocanol is injected in a subcutaneous fat below the skin surface, and
wherein the second polidocanol is provided in a final concentration of 0.5% w/v;

thereby treating gynoid lipodystrophy.
