How does the UltraShape™ technology work? The UltraShape CONTOUR I uses a patented ultrasonic transducer to deliver controlled focused ultrasound at a precise depth within the subcutaneous tissue and is designed to target and disrupt only adipose tissue, leaving surrounding structures such as skin, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue intact. Who is it for? The UltraShape™ treatment has been designed to help average to overweight men and women acquire an improved body contour. It offers an alternative to patients seeking effective reduction of localized fat deposits without surgery. What body areas are treated? The UltraShape™ treatment focuses on the abdomen, thighs (“saddle bags”) and flanks (“love handles"). What results can I expect? In a multi-center controlled clinical trial, an average of 2 cm reduction in circumference was achieved after a single treatment of the abdomen, outer thighs, or flanks. In independent studies and in commercial use, multiple treatments have shown incremental circumference reduction and high patient satisfaction. What will I experience during treatment? The treatment is performed in your physician’s office. It will begin with the physician examining and marking the area to be treated. The size of the treatment area determines the duration of the session which can last between one to one and a half hours. During treatment, a handheld device delivering ultrasound energy gently glides over the marked area. The treatment does not require anesthesia. The majority of treated patients consistently report a painless and comfortable experience. The entire treatment is guided by an advanced tracking technology to ensure smooth and even contouring results. What happens after treatment? As soon as the session is over, you can immediately resume your daily routine. There is no recuperation period, and no need for follow-up visits. Patients state that there is no post-treatment pain or discomfort. The skin surface remains smooth and the fat texture remains homogenous. How does the UltraShape treatment work? The UltraShape™ treatment uses scientifically proven non-invasive ultrasound technology to break down unwanted fat. Focused ultrasound energy selectively targets fat cells in the chosen body area without harming surrounding tissues such as nerves or blood vessels. What happens to the fat? During the UltraShape™ treatment, the membranes of the fat cells are disrupted. The fat cell content, primarily comprised of triglycerides, is dispersed into the fluid between the cells and then transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver. The liver makes no distinction between fat coming from the UltraShape treatment and fat originating from consumed food. Both are processed by the body’s natural mechanisms.
