It uses low frequency ultrasound to improve the body contouring by reducing the fat in the area targeted by thetreatment. The procedure can be carried out in an office environment and does not require any special set-up. It is non-invasive,painless, easy and free from the common side effects associated with the liposuction or any invasive procedure.ULTRALYS selectively lyses the adipocyte membrane with no damage to surrounding structures. The released fat is eliminatedthrough the physiological pathways: when the membrane of the adipocytes is disrupted by the low frequency ultrasound, thetriglycerides inside those adipocytes is released into the interstitial fluid. Triglycerides are composed of 3 molecules of fatty acidsattached to a glycerol backbone. The fatty acids are transported by the albumin to the liver which uses them for the metabolic needs.The glycerol is recycled for energy. This treatment is totally safe since the capacity of the body to carry away triglyceride molecules ismuch larger than the amount of triglycerides which are liberated as a result of the treatment.Materials and method: The ULTRALYS system used is manufactured in Italy and constituted by the main unit and 2 transducersof different sizes. 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study: 8 male and 22 female patients. All underwent 3 treatments, at 1week interval and were followed for 1 month after the last treatment. Areas treated were: abdomen, inner and outer thighs, flanks, innerknees, and hips.The method of work used consisted of: 1- measuring the fat depth with a digital picometer, 2- measuring the circumference of thetreated area with the accurate measurement tape MyoTape and 3- taking pictures before and after each treatment using a digitalcamera. The efficacy of the treatment was determined by change in fat thickness and change in the circumeference measurements.Results: The results are described in a detailed table and classified according to the treated area. In average, a patient loses around4.3cm in the abdominal area on each session! After 3 treatments, a patient loses in average 4 to 13 cm depending on the treated area,which is equivalent in the abdominal area to 3 sizes of pants!Conclusion: We have achieved satisfactory results in all treated patients assessed in terms of centimeters reduction of the treatedarea and photographic evidence. Besides, all patients were satisfied from the results and reported that the treatment was comfortableand totally painless.The main advantage of the ULTRALYS method is that it matches the current trend of "lunch treatments" and the growing demandfor non invasive procedures. ULTRALYS, a new and efficient system for non invasive, easy and painless body contouring, seems tooffer a solution to many persons who do not want to resort to surgery in order to improve their body's shape.From the encouraging results we have collected after this experience enrolling 30 patients, we can conclude that ULTRALYSrepresents a new era in the body contouring field and a promising alternative to invasive procedures.AESTHETIC WORKSHOP 26 PROPOSED BY ANTEISRehydrate your patient's skin with MESOLIS and MESOLIS+Réhydratez la peau de vos patients grâce à MESOLIS et MÉSOLIS+AESTHETIC WORKSHOP 28 PROPOSED BY TEOXANEAdvanced Techniques using TEOSYAL Ultra DeepTechniques avancées avec TEOSYAL Ultra DeepCHRISTIAN GAY (FRANCE)JULES MARTHAN (FRANCE)AESTHETIC WORKSHOPS134AESTHETIC WORKSHOP 30 PROPOSED BY Q-MEDRESTYLANE ® Master ClassAdvanced techniques with RESTYLANE SUBQRESTYLANE ® Master ClassTechniques avancées avec RESTYLANE SUBQAESTHETIC WORKSHOP 32 PROPOSED BY ALLERGANIntroducing volumetric contouring with VOLUMA ®.Remodelage volumétrique et contour avec VOLUMA ®Facial contours – The impact of aging / Contours faciaux : l’impact de l’âgeBuilding experience and confidence with Voluma ® / Acquérir expérience et confiance avec Voluma ®Questions from the Dermatologist / Les questions du DermatologueLive Demonstration / Démonstration en directWOFFLES WU (SINGAPORE)CHAIR: GREGOR WAHL (GERMANY)HERVÉ RASPALDO (FRANCE) - GREGOR WAHL (GERMANY)
