1. An ultrasound probe, comprising:
a piezoelectric ultrasound transducer,
wherein the piezoelectric ultrasound transducer delivers ultrasound energy at a frequency,
wherein the piezoelectric ultrasound transducer is configured for delivering the ultrasound energy at a temperature to coagulate a fat cells in one or more fat lobuli at a depth under a superficial layer of skin,
wherein the piezoelectric ultrasound transducer is configured for acoustic coupling to the superficial layer of skin,
wherein the piezoelectric ultrasound transducer forms a thermal coagulation region at the depth for coagulating the fat cells in the one or more fat lobuli.
