What is Ultrasonic Body Contouring? What can I expect?

Ultrasound Cavitation is a new, revolutionary fat removal technique that has been used in over 50 countries world wide and does NOT involve surgery - since it is painless, there is no need for anesthesia, any hospital stay or time off work. Ultrasound Cavitation causes microscopic air bubbles to surround the lipocyte (fat cell) membranes and with its resonant frequency, the bubbles cause create high pressure that causes the fat cells to break up instantly. The broken lipocytes are then removed to the liver and safely metabolized out of the body which is assisted by drinking plenty of water. It produces lipolysis of fatty acids from adipocytes (fat-laden cells) due to a phenomenon known as stable cavitation, and increased cell permeability of the adipocytes. You get an increased flow of triglycerides. Furthermore, there is a breakdown of the fibers through mechanical action (jet stream). Finally, some content of adipocytes are metabolized by the liver and eliminated in the urine, so its always recommended to increase your hydration both the day of treatment and subsequent days. The procedure works to remove superficial fat and fat accumulation that is non-volumetric. Greater results will be noticed after six to twelve treatments.

Lastly, spend approximately 30 minutes of mild exercise of your choice to increase your metabolic rate to aid in the elimination of the liquified fat. Ultrasound is a non-invasive method of reducing localized fat using ultrasound and radio frequency, which also has the benefit of skin tightening. The ultrasonic waves vibrate and break up the fat cells, which are then liquefied and eliminated through the lymphatic and urinary system.

Laser Sculpt Lipo is a non-invasive system for the removal of fat cells in the body.

How does Laser Lipo work?

As the light is concentrated on an area of the body, the light permeates the skin to a depth of between 10 and 12 millimeters. This light causes a temporary change to the outer membranes of the fat cells. This, in turn, allows fat to empty into the membrane where it can be harmlessly processed by the body’s natural mechanisms.

Where does the fat go?

The body has a complex system for processing unnecessary fat. Upon escaping through the membranes, they are broken down and enter the blood stream. They are then used as fuel during periods of activity. The rest is sent to the liver where it is processed for storage, or oxidized.
