Such a treatment device can have contact means, and the contact means can move repeatedly at a predetermined part or a treatment part of the human body. The repetitive movement can be a two-dimensional movement or a three-dimensional movement. The contact means may be, for example, a suction tube of a cannula, a contact probe of an ultrasonic device, or an electrode pad for transferring a high frequency applied from a high frequency device into the human body. And the result of the procedure, such as removal of fat or solidification of the subcutaneous fat layer, may be caused by the contact means. The contact detection sensor 11 can be disposed on the operation unit combined with the contact means or the contact means. The contact detection sensors 11 may be at least two, and may be disposed at different positions. Each contact detection sensor 11 can be arranged at a position that is relevant to the movement of the contact means and can be provided, for example, at a location such as a connecting means, an operating handle coupled to the contact means, have. Specifically, the contact detection sensor 11 can be disposed at a position that is related to the position of the contact means and, thereby, a position relative to the contact means can be determined.

[ The positional information sensor 12 may be disposed in the vicinity of a treatment part or a treatment part of the human body. A three-dimensional operation map for the operation site can be generated by the information transmitted by the position information sensor 12. The position information sensor 12 may be any sensor capable of transmitting the position information of the sensor and the information transmitted from the position information sensor 12 may be received and processed by an appropriate receiving apparatus and transmitted to the control unit. For example, when the abdomen is in the procedure position, the position information sensor 12 may be disposed at a position spaced a predetermined distance below the side of the navel, the side of the side, or the side of the side.
