In this study, we designed a low-power visible ray (V) drive module based on a light-emitting diode (LED) to initiate fat reduction using light source irradiation. A chemical phantom of muscle and fat was fabricated, and the performance of the proposed LED drive module was tested using this chemical phantom. The LED light source could reduce fat by irradiating the skin 4–5 cm deep. The device exhibits a negative feedback and parallel amplification to maintain a stable circuit based on low-power consumption. Muscles have a high-water content and low impedance, whereas fats have a low water content and significant salt content. Therefore, fat exhibits high impedance. Chemical phantoms were fabricated according to these impedance values, and the fat reduction effect using the LED circuits was analyzed. When the fat phantom was irradiated by the light source, the fat impedance lowered, and we confirmed that fat reduction could be obtained. This study is expected to be applicable to family medicine and weight management health care.
