The UltraShape™ Procedure

Safe, effective and convenient
. No surgery
. No anesthetics
. No recovery time.

The UltraShape™ “walk-in walk-out” procedure takes place in the physician’s office after a consultation session between physician and patient. The physician first examines and marks the treatment area. Then, while the patient lies back on a comfortable bed, the operator uses the hand-held transducer to convert electrical energy into ultrasound energy and gently deliver focused therapeutic ultrasound energy over the marked region. In this way, the fat cells are selectively and safely disrupted. The entire procedure is guided by UltraShape’s advanced tracking technology which ensures smooth, uniform contouring.

What does the UltraShape treatment feel like?

Most patients report a painless and comfortable experience with side effects being extremely rare. Patients are immediately able to resume their daily routine.

What happens to the fat?

During the UltraShape procedure, the membranes of the fat cells are disrupted. The fat cell content, primarily comprised of triglycerides, is dispersed into the fluid between the cells and then transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver. The liver makes no distinction between fat coming from the UltraShape procedure and fat originating from consumed food. Both are processed via the body's natural mechanisms.
