Liposonix®

Liposonix one treatment, one hour, one size smaller

SkinSpirit is one of the first to offer Liposonix; the noninvasive, high-intensity focused ultrasound to permanently get rid of targeted fat around your waistline (abdomen and love handles) without surgery, which may leave you with a slimmer, more contoured waistline.

The destroyed fat tissue is removed naturally by the body over time (results seen in about 8 to 12 weeks). The average waistline reduction after a single, 1-hour treatment is about 2.5 cm or one dress or pant size. The Liposonix treatment is not a replacement for liposuction surgery or a healthy lifestyle, or a way to lose weight. During treatment, you may feel discomfort, pain, cold, prickling, tingling, or warmth. After treatment, you may experience pain (discomfort), bruising, redness, and swelling, which are generally described (or rated) as mild.

Is the Liposonix Treatment Right for You? Are you close to your ideal size but have unwanted fat around your waistline that you just can't seem to get rid of even with diet and exercise? You might be a candidate for the noninvasive, nonsurgical Liposonix treatment.

Appropriate Candidates for the Liposonix Treatment Must:

• Be able to pinch-an-inch (2.5 cm) of fat in the treatment area
• Have a body mass index (BMI) equal to or less than 30
• Have good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about the results

Treatment Results After one Liposonix treatment, 91% of patients surveyed in a clinical study reported improvement in their abdominal flatness. In fact, one treatment of about one hour may result in a patient reducing their waistline by an average of 2.5 cm, or about one dress or pant size. Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks. Individual results and office visit times may vary.

How is the Liposonix Treatment Different? Many nonsurgical treatment systems do not penetrate and destroy the fat found beneath the skin. Most of the energy from these systems is absorbed by the skin tissue (dermis and epidermis) not the targeted fat tissue underneath.

The Liposonix treatment is unique among body-contouring technologies. By using a high-energy output and a high frequency, the Liposonix treatment creates a thermal effect that permanently destroys the targeted fat in the abdomen and love handles. The Liposonix treatment is also unique because of its ability to focus its energy at specific depths in the fat without damaging surrounding tissue or non-targeted areas. This efficient delivery of energy into the fat tissue can result in a treatment time of about 1 hour (office visit time may vary).

Other Ultrasound Technologies Compared with other ultrasound body-contouring technologies, the Liposonix treatment uses higher energy and higher frequency to create a controlled thermal effect to destroy targeted fat in the treatment area.

Laser and Radio-Frequency (RF) Technologies Compared to the Liposonix treatment, low-energy systems such as laser or radio-frequency have less penetration into the targeted fat. This is because the energy these systems use is reflected and absorbed by the skin. The Liposonix system uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy, which penetrates through the skin layers and into the targeted fat without harming skin or surrounding tissues.
