Liposonix is a brand new noninvasive procedure that is currently being tested and reviewed by the FDA for approval of use in the United States. This procedure can get rid of abdominal fat using advanced technology.
Often abdominal body fat is the most difficult to remove, even with proper diet and exercise. With this new technique, it is easily removed without using surgical procedures. Studies show that this is a fast and effective way to get your entire body in shape, without the pain and recovery time that traditional body sculpting creates.
With this new procedure, ultrasound energy is used to destroy the targeted abdominal fat just below the surface of the skin. This can be done with one treatment, and results are permanent.
The average weight lost with this technique is equivalent to about 1.1 inches in the waist circumference. The results take approximately 8 to 12 weeks for a noticeable difference. With a loss of 1.1 inches, this usually reduces clothes sizes by 1 size, although individual results do vary.
Are There Any Liposonix Risks?
This fat reduction treatment has been being tested and researched for the last 9 years, with good safety results. Studies show that with this procedure the surrounding tissue is unaffected with only the targeted areas safely being removed.
This revolutionary new treatment is easily done by a plastic surgeon that places the device on the targeted area and uses ultrasound energy at high intensities. The skin is completely unharmed, while the fat tissue under the skin is being destroyed.
The body naturally reacts to this procedure using it’s healing processes to remove the remaining destroyed fat by transporting it to the liver, where it gets turned into energy. The treatment is permanent, leaving the body more trimmed in the waistline area.
The procedure takes about 1 hour to complete during which time the patients may experience feelings of tingling, warmth, prickling, cold or mild pain and discomfort. After the treatment, some temporary discomfort such as mild pain, bruising, swelling and redness may be experienced.
Certain people are advised against using this type of body contouring treatment,even though it has shown safe results. Anyone taking blood thinners or those who have a blood disorder should not use this method. Also people who have had previous surgical procedures in the affected area should avoid the procedure, as well as people with pacemakers.
This technique was created strictly for use on the abdominal area. It does not treat sagging or loose skin, nor is it considered a replacement treatment for liposuction procedures or weight loss.
