1. What is liposonix?

LipoSonix is device new to the United States that has been used overseas to permanently get rid of fat cells and reduce waist size. LipoSonix uses focused ultrasound waves to permanently get rid of fat cells selectively in your problem areas. LipoSonix gets rid of these fat cells without surgery and with minimal side effects or downtime.

For decades, people have been trying to selectively remove fat from problem areas, using belts, injections, exercise and many other cosmetic surgery techniques. Until now, the only way to really remove fat from a selective area was liposuction. Now there is LipoSonix.

2. What happens to the fat after LipoSonix?

The disrupted fat cells attract the body’s inflammatory and healing responses. Special cells called macrophages engulf the fat and cellular debris. The macrophages then transport the fat through the lymphatic and venous system, eventually to the liver. This process takes 2-4 weeks, so there are no changes in fat, triglyceride, or any other body chemistries. The liver treats the fat from the macrophages just like fat you have eaten. The liver takes the fat and metabolizes it normally. Studies have not shown an increase in other body measurements after the use of LipoSonix. This means there is no measurable redistribution of the fat. We know it can’t go back to the treatment area because those cells no longer exist.

How it works

The thermal effect from HIFU yields a dual tissue response within the treatment area:
• Permanent destruction of targeted fat cells
• Contraction of surrounding collagen may help prevent post treatment tissue laxity
