What Is Liposonix?
LipoSonix is a completely non-invasive body contouring device that has been purchased by Solta Medical and FDA cleared in the US. Liposonix uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to target and destroy fat in the abdomen and flanks. A nonsurgical approach to spot fat reduction, Liposonix joins several other existing devices in the market that offer circumferential reduction without going under the knife.
Liposonix is recommended for patients who lead healthy lifestyles, are near or at ideal body weight but have some excess fat (approximately 2.5 cm or 1 inch) around the abdomen area.
How does Liposonix Work?
Liposonix is powered with high-intensity ultrasound energy which is delivered through a hand-piece that is placed over the patient abdomen and/or flanks. By creating a targeted high-energy and high frequency thermal effect, surrounding tissues and non-targeted areas are undamaged while fat tissue beneath the skin is permanently destroyed.
Liposonix is a device that prior to being available in the United States completely dominated the industry 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.
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.
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.
Both Liposonix and CoolSculpt permanently destroy the fat cells, resulting in a reduction in the size of the area treated. Both are procedures performed in the office, as an outpatient and take about an hour. Both LipoSonix and CoolSculpt result in some soreness swelling and bruising in the treatment area. Both take at least 3 months to see results and improvement can continue out to 6 months after the procedure. That is where the similarities end.
Liposonix is best for certain patients. Both women and men can be candidates. You should be able to pinch at least an inch of fat in your area of concern. A layer of fat less than an inch probably does not require treatment. You should also be fairly close to your ideal body weight. Persons with Body Mass Index (BMI) less than 30 may be candidates. If your BMI is greater than 30, you will probably do better with liposuction than with LipoSonix. Currently, LipoSonix has been approved for use on the abdomen and love handles. Some patients may be appropriate for other body areas.
Liposonix permanently disrupts the fat cells in the treatment area. One treatment is recommended in the area. 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.
