Liposonix

A TAILORED APPROACH THAT WORKS
In the battle to look your best, there’s nothing more frustrating than that stubborn “last inch” you’re trying to shed – especially around your waistline. The Custom Contouring™ capabilities of the Liposonix® System target and eliminate fat around your waist – in your abdomen and in the dreaded love handles – to help noticeably slim your waistline.

Liposonix is:
1. Safe, non-surgical and non-invasive
2. A revolutionary treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound to treat and eliminate stubborn fat
3. Perfect for people close to their ideal size and shape – but need help where diet and exercise just won’t work
4. Sometimes, you just need a little help getting to your ideal shape – a Liposonix treatment may be the answer you’ve been looking for.

HOW IS LIPOSONIX DIFFERENT?
Non-Surgical – Non-Invasive
Invasive fat reduction procedures, such as liposuction, typically carry certain surgical risks and are associated with significant post-treatment recovery downtime. Even newer, minimally-invasive techniques are still surgical procedures. Unlike these types of surgical fat reduction procedures, the Liposonix treatment is non-invasive and patients typically resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Custom Contouring™
Patients come in all shapes and sizes, and so does their fat. Other non-invasive body contouring devices can be limited in their ability to treat certain areas of fat and may require several hours and/or multiple treatment sessions to adequately address problem areas. The Liposonix system is highly versatile, allowing control over precisely how and where energy is delivered, for a truly customized treatment in a single one-hour session.

HIFU Technology
With many other non-invasive fat reduction technologies, such as radiofrequency and lasers, energy is highly absorbed or scattered near the skin surface, thereby limiting penetration into subcutaneous fat tissue and delivering only temporary results. Ultrasound energy, on the other hand, can be used to penetrate through the skin layers and into the targeted fat tissue without harming skin or surrounding tissues. Other ultrasound body contouring technologies often use low-intensity, low-frequency, or unfocused energy which can require multiple treatments and lead to unpredictable results. The Liposonix system uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to non-invasively destroy targeted subcutaneous fat and deliver uniform, predictable results after a single one-hour treatment.

What Can Liposonix Do For You?
If you’re close to your ideal shape, but need a little help getting there, Liposonix may be for you. Liposonix treatments use high-intensity focused ultrasound to non-invasively get rid of targeted fat around your waistline (abdomen and love handles) without surgery. The average waistline reduction after just a single one-hour treatment is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) – which typically means one dress or pant size.

Liposonix Results
Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks (which is the time needed for the body to naturally process the treated fat).

Liposonix is not liposuction or surgery, is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle and exercise,and is not a way to lose weight. But it is a quick, easy way to help you slim that last inch and hit your personal shape goals.

THE DETAILS
One question many Liposonix patients ask is “where does the fat go?” Having a clearer picture of the science behind Liposonix and how fat is metabolized in the body will help you understand how Liposonix works with your body to help change your shape.

Odds are you do a lot to achieve and maintain your ideal shape. See how Liposonix fits into your regimen and how it stacks up against alternatives.

Liposonix Treatment
One hour, one treatment, one inch – an effective complement to a health and fitness regimen that has “plateaued”.

 

Healthy Diet and Exercise
The best solution for long-term weight loss and a lean, trim body. Liposonix can be an effective complement to “get that last inch”.

 

Surgical Weight Loss/Liposuction
For patients needing significant fat reduction, these invasive or minimally-invasive procedures are often associated with high-costs, surgical risks/side-effects, and extensive downtime. Liposonix treatments are not an alternative to these types of procedures.

IS LIPOSONIX RIGHT FOR YOU?
Liposonix is not for everyone. But if you are close to your ideal size and have stubborn, unwanted fat around your waistline you just can’t seem to get rid of with diet and exercise, then yes, Liposonix may be for you. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation with a physician. There are also some general factors that can help you determine if you are an appropriate candidate.

Candidates for Liposonix treatment must:
1. Be able to “pinch-an-inch” (2.5 cm) of fat in the treatment area
2. Have a body mass index (BMI) equal to or less than 30
3. Don’t know your BMI, see where you fit here >
4. Have good overall health
5. Have realistic expectations about the results

 

 

 

 

Duration:
Liposonix treatments are usually about an hour.

 

Comfort:
During treatment, patients may feel discomfort, cold, prickling, tingling, or warmth. After treatment, patients may experience some discomfort (pain), bruising, redness, and swelling, which are generally described as mild.
 
Regimen:
Most patients see results with just one Liposonix treatment.

 

Results:
In a clinical study, the average waistline reduction after a single treatment was about 1 inch (2.5 cm), which is typically equal to one dress or pant size. Full results are usually seen in 8 to 12 weeks, though individual results will vary.

For a treatment that’s so technologically advanced, getting Liposonix® is pretty simple. All treatments begin with a physician consultation to see if Liposonix is right for you – click here to see some key candidate qualifiers >. From there, Liposonix is a single, non-invasive treatment that takes about one hour.

DURING
Your doctor moves the head of the Liposonix system around the area to be treated, and treats for 30-60 minutes. During treatment, you may feel discomfort, cold, prickling, tingling, or warmth, which are generally described as mild.
AFTER
After treatment, there may be some discomfort (pain), bruising, redness, and swelling, which are generally described as mild.

With less fat, your body is naturally slimmer, with a sleeker, more contoured waistline. After treatment, there may be some discomfort (pain), bruising, redness, and swelling, which are generally described as mild.

Treatment Results
Upon completion of a post-study survey “…91.3% of Liposonix patient subjects responded that the flatness of their abdomen had improved after just one treatment1…” On average, one hour-long treatment resulted in a waistline reduction of 1 inch (2.5 cm) – about one dress or pant size. Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks, which is how long the body takes to remove the destroyed fat tissue through its natural process.
