What are the differences between the Capacitive and Resistive methods in the INDIBA System?

All Indiba system models reach exactly the same depth. The main difference is the total amount of power supplied, and therefore that absorbed by the body, is greater with a more powerful device. This is even more applicable to the Resistive mode.The ER45 is the highest power supply model of system also i.e. treating cellulite trapped fat on ER42 in 25-35 sessions ER45 15-25 sessions.
