<strong>Liposonix</strong><br />
<strong>Fat</strong> <strong>Reduction</strong><br />
What should I expect from <strong>Liposonix</strong> <strong>Fat</strong><br />
<strong>Reduction</strong><br />
If you’re close to your ideal shape, but need<br />
a little help getting there, <strong>Liposonix</strong> may<br />
be for you. <strong>Liposonix</strong> treatments use noninvasive,<br />
high-intensity focused ultrasound<br />
to permanently get rid of targeted fat around<br />
your waistline (abdomen <strong>and</strong> love h<strong>and</strong>les)<br />
without surgery. The average waistline<br />
reduction after just a single one-hour<br />
treatment is about 1 inch (2.5 cm)–which<br />
typically means one dress or pant size.<br />
Larger treatment areas <strong>and</strong> individuals who<br />
are slightly over weight may be better treated<br />
with the SmartLipo or BodyJet tumescent<br />
liposuction. Your provider will help you<br />
choose the best option for you.<br />
How does <strong>Liposonix</strong> <strong>Fat</strong> <strong>Reduction</strong> work<br />
With many other non-invasive fat reduction<br />
technologies, such as radiofrequency <strong>and</strong><br />
lasers, energy is highly absorbed or scattered<br />
near the skin surface, thereby limiting<br />
penetration into subcutaneous fat tissue<br />
<strong>and</strong> delivering only temporary results.<br />
Ultrasound energy, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, can<br />
be used to penetrate through the skin layers<br />
<strong>and</strong> into the targeted fat tissue without<br />
harming skin or surrounding tissues. Other<br />
ultrasound body contouring technologies<br />
often use low-intensity, low-frequency, or<br />
unfocused energy which can require multiple<br />
treatments <strong>and</strong> lead to unpredictable results.<br />
The <strong>Liposonix</strong> system uses high-intensity<br />
focused ultrasound energy to permanently<br />
destroy targeted subcutaneous fat <strong>and</strong> deliver<br />
uniform, predictable results after a single<br />
one-hour treatment.<br />
Is the treatment painful<br />
During treatment, you may feel discomfort,<br />
cold, prickling, tingling, or warmth, which<br />
are generally described as mild.<br />
After treatment, there may be some<br />
bruising, redness, <strong>and</strong> swelling. Then, for 8<br />
to 12 weeks after treatment, your body will<br />
naturally process <strong>and</strong> permanently remove<br />
the destroyed fat tissue.<br />
With less fat, your body will be naturally<br />
slimmer, with a sleeker, more contoured<br />
waistline.<br />

How many treatments are required for best<br />
results<br />
That is the beauty of the <strong>Liposonix</strong> treatment,<br />
one treatment, in about an hour.<br />
Is <strong>Liposonix</strong> right for me<br />
<strong>Liposonix</strong> is not for everyone. But if you are<br />
close to your ideal size <strong>and</strong> have stubborn,<br />
unwanted fat around your waistline you<br />
just can’t seem to get rid of with diet <strong>and</strong><br />
exercise, then yes, <strong>Liposonix</strong> may be for you.<br />
The best way to know for sure is to schedule<br />
a consultation. There are also some general<br />
factors that can help you determine if you<br />
are an appropriate c<strong>and</strong>idate.<br />
C<strong>and</strong>idates for <strong>Liposonix</strong> treatment must:<br />
• Be able to “pinch-an-inch” (2.5 cm) of<br />
fat in the treatment area<br />
• Have a body mass index (BMI) equal to<br />
or less than 30<br />
• Have good overall health<br />
• Have realistic expectations about the<br />
results<br />
How is <strong>Liposonix</strong> differ from Zeltiq<br />
<strong>Liposonix</strong> <strong>and</strong> Coolsculpting are both<br />
FDA-approved noninvasive technologies<br />
for reduction of localized fat tissue that<br />
is disproportionate to the rest of the body.<br />
Zeltiq uses cold therapy to reduce the<br />
number of fat cells in areas that can be<br />
pinched between two paddles. <strong>Liposonix</strong><br />
uses focused ultrasound energy to destry fat<br />
tissue in a specific, mapped out layer. The<br />
<strong>Liposonix</strong> applicator is much more focused<br />
<strong>and</strong> precise, which provides for a more artful body<br />
sculpting than the large applicators of Zeltiq that can<br />
only be used on the abdomen <strong>and</strong> waist <strong>and</strong> often result<br />
in a dimple in a localized area of fat that is not artfully<br />
sculpted.<br />
With both procedures, the fat cells that are destroyed<br />
are re-absorbed by the body over a period of several<br />
weeks for a permanent effect.<br />
What should I do to prepare for <strong>Liposonix</strong> <strong>Fat</strong> <strong>Reduction</strong><br />
Success requires vigorous daily exercise, a healthy diet,<br />
<strong>and</strong> hydration with at least 64 ounces of water per day.<br />
This is necessary to burn the fat released following the<br />
<strong>Liposonix</strong> treatment.<br />
<strong>Liposonix</strong> <strong>Fat</strong> <strong>Reduction</strong> is not intended for those<br />
seeking significant weight loss or for patients who<br />
do not live a healthy lifestyle. No body contouring<br />
treatment, including liposuction, will work without a<br />
healthy eating plan <strong>and</strong> increased physical activity.<br />
