What is Liposonix?
Liposonix is a device that is completely dominating the industry to permanently get rid of fat cells and reduce waist size. Liposonix is FDA approved and 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 or Cool Sculpting. Now there is Liposonix, which works better and faster and without the dangerous side effects of Cool Sculpting.
How does Liposonix work?
Despite the popularity of the treatment, many still ask the question: “What is Liposonix and how does it work?” Liposonix uses special technology called High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to cause the death of fat cells safely and effectively. Focusing the ultrasound energy of LipoSonix at 1-2 cm below the surface of the skin avoids any burns or trauma to the skin and makes the treatment more comfortable. The fat cells are disrupted by the HIFU, resulting in an average 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) reduction in waist size for a one-hour treatment procedure.
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 fat. We know it can’t go back to the treatment area because those cells no longer exist.
What kind of results can I expect from Liposonix?
Liposonix permanently disrupts the fat cells in the treatment area. One to two treatments are recommended. A treatment takes about an hour. The current studies showed an average decrease in waist size of 4.6 cm or 1.8 inches after 3 months. This is essentially one pant size. Shape of You utilizes the second generation Liposonix machine which is the newest or latest model available. The second generation LipoSonix machine has been shown to achieve some results as early as 1-2 weeks, however it often takes 3-6 months for the final results to be realized.
