Liposonix ®

 
  • The treatment goal
  • The procedure

    • This still-in-development technology employs focused, high-intensity ultrasound to heat and dissolve problematic pockets of fat. The fat is then reabsorbed into the body and eventually eliminated through the body’s natural waste removal process.

    LipoSonix’s ultrasound waves work on fatty tissue at depths of more than an inch without harming the skin’s surface. Studies in Europe (where the procedure is already in use) report that LipoSonix can reduce the circumference of treated areas by 2 to 3 inches after a single treatment session.

    LipoSonix’s manufacturer has applied for FDA approval and hopes to launch the procedure in the United States by 2011.

    The treatment goal

    In studies, LipoSonix has been used to target excess abdominal fat.

    The procedure

    Treatment of a full abdomen reportedly takes 30 to 60 minutes. More information will become available once this procedure is introduced into the US.
