2. Liposonix
• Safe, non-surgical and non-invasive
• A revolutionary treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound to treat
and eliminate stubborn fat
• Perfect for people close to their ideal size and shape – but need help where
diet and exercise just won’t work
3. HOW IS LIPOSONIX DIFFERENT?
Non-Surgical - Non-Invasive
• Invasive fat reduction procedures, such as liposuction, typically carry certain
surgical risks and are associated with significant post-treatment recovery
downtime. Even newer, minimally-invasive techniques are still surgical
procedures. Unlike these types of surgical fat reduction procedures, the
Liposonix treatment is non-invasive and patients typically resume normal
activities immediately after the procedure.
4. Custom Contouring™
• Patients come in all shapes and sizes, and so does their fat. Other non-
invasive body contouring devices can be limited in their ability to treat
certain areas of fat and may require several hours and/or multiple treatment
sessions to adequately address problem areas.The Liposonix system is
highly versatile, allowing control over precisely how and where energy is
delivered, for a truly customized treatment in a single one-hour session.
5. HIFUTechnology
• With many other non-invasive fat reduction technologies, such as radiofrequency
and lasers, energy is highly absorbed or scattered near the skin surface, thereby
limiting penetration into subcutaneous fat tissue and delivering only temporary
results. Ultrasound energy, on the other hand, can be used to penetrate through
the skin layers and into the targeted fat tissue without harming skin or surrounding
tissues. Other ultrasound body contouring technologies often use low-intensity,
low-frequency, or unfocused energy which can require multiple treatments and
lead to unpredictable results.The Liposonix system uses high-intensity focused
ultrasound energy to non-invasively destroy targeted subcutaneous fat and deliver
uniform, predictable results after a single one-hour treatment.
6. Why is it better than alternative treatments?
• We prefer HIFU Liposonics over surgical procedures like liposuction as you will not have the
surgical risks, scarring and post-operation downtime. HIFU is also more flexible and is able
to treat more areas to give a more even result.
• HIFU Liposonics delivers far superior results than other older non-invasive body contouring
/ fat reduction treatments like radiofrequency, lasers or lower energy ultrasound
technologies. HIFU delivers high energy into the targeted fat tissue without harming skin or
surrounding tissues.
7. What Can Liposonix Do ForYou?
• Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks (which is the time needed for the
body to naturally process the treated fat).
• Liposonix is not liposuction or surgery, is not a replacement for a healthy
lifestyle and exercise, and is not a way to lose weight. But it is a quick, easy
way to help you slim that last inch and hit your personal shape goals.
8. The key benefits of Liposonix are:
• Destroys Fat
• Reduces cellulite
• Firms and tightens the skin
• Increases the elasticity of skin
• Smoothens skin texture
9. IS LIPOSONIX RIGHT FORYOU?
• Liposonix is not for everyone. But if you are close to your ideal size and have stubborn,
unwanted fat around your waistline you just can't seem to get rid of with diet and exercise,
then yes, Liposonix may be for you.The best way to know for sure is to schedule a
consultation with a physician.There are also some general factors that can help you
determine if you are an appropriate candidate.
• Candidates for 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
10. How it works
1. The treatment head of the Liposonix system is placed on the area to be treated.
2. High-intensity ultrasound energy focuses on the targeted fat, destroying fat cells
beneath the surface layers of the skin.
3. A continuous lesion is created in the targeted fat and the skin layer is not harmed.
• And where it goes?The treated fat tissue is removed through the body's natural
healing and elimination process, leaving you with a thinner, more contoured
waistline.
11. Your LiposonixTreatment
DURING
• Your doctor moves the head of the Liposonix system around the
area to be treated, and treats for 30-60 minutes.
• During treatment, you may feel discomfort, cold, prickling,
tingling, or warmth, which are generally described as mild.
AFTER
• Over the next 8 to 12 weeks, your body naturally processes and
removes the destroyed fat tissue.
• With less fat, your body is naturally slimmer, with a sleeker, more
contoured waistline.
• After treatment, there may be some discomfort (pain), bruising,
redness, and swelling, which are generally described as mild.
12. Treatment facts and Guidelines
Duration:
Liposonix treatments are usually about an hour.
Comfort:
During treatment, patients may feel discomfort, cold, prickling, tingling, or warmth.
After treatment, patients may experience some discomfort (pain), bruising, redness,
and swelling, which are generally described as mild.
Regimen:
Most patients see results with just one Liposonix treatment.
Results:
In a clinical study, the average waistline reduction after a single treatment was about
1 inch (2.5 cm), which is typically equal to one dress or pant size. Full results are
usually seen in 8 to 12 weeks, though individual results will vary.
13. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not undergo Liposonix treatment if you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or are lactating..
• Do not undergo Liposonix if there is a hernia in the area to be treated.
Expected Side Effects of Liposonix during treatment:
• Pain/discomfort
• Cold
• Prickling
• Tingling
• Warmth
Expected Side Effects of Liposonix post treatment:
• Pain/discomfort/tenderness
• Bruising
• Redness
• Tingling
• Swelling
14. FAQ
Q: How many Liposonix, non-invasive-liposuction treatments will I require?
• A:You will require only one treatment per area for 1-4 inches loss. In areas where excessive
fat is present, you can perform 3 sessions approximately 2-3 months apart.
Q:What does the Liposonix non-invasive liposuction treatment feel like?
• A:The treatment can feel like a deep heating sensation that is present on the skin in
intervals of 60 seconds. If you are worried about the discomfort you may experience, we
suggest taking advantage of the pain medication that is offered by our physician.
Q: How long is the non-invasive Liposonix treatment?
• A: For those using the option of pain medication, we ask you to come in 45 minutes prior to
your treatment in order for the medication to activate. Once the procedure begins an area
such as the abdomen would take approximately one hour to complete.
15. FAQ
Q:What will the skin look like after the Liposonix treatment and how will I feel?
• A:The skin will continue to feel warm for up to 24 hours.The skin will appear red
for 24 hours and bruising may appear for up to 7 days but this is very rare.
Q:When will I start to see results from my LiposonixTreatment?
• A:The Liposonix immediately starts to destroy the fat cells.The body will take 1-3
months in order to start breaking down the fat cells and disposing of them.The
optimal results will start being seen after 3 months. If your BMI is outside of the
recommended range, your optimal results will occur the months after your third
treatment.
