Groundbreaking ultrasonic Liposonix sets new benchmark for non invasive
fat removal - only two devices in the UK to date
Liposonix challenges all other non-invasive fat removal systems. The real ‘lunchtime fix’, this procedure can be performed quickly with no cuts, minimal discomfort (nerves are unaffected), no anaesthetic and no downtime. Sound waves are delivered at high intensity and frequency essentially blasting and killing carefully targeted fat cells whilst surrounding tissues, skin surface and underlying organs are left untouched.
Angelica Kavouni: “Until now non-invasive ultrasonic fat removal devices have somewhat under performed due to their reliance on relatively low energy frequencies, Liposonix is different in that it delivers energy at a much higher level offering cosmetic surgeons a real alternative to surgical fat removal.”
Liposonix: more powerful machine using 2 MHZ transducer vs Ultrashape: power is limited at 0.2MHZ
Angelica: “We are very excited to be one of the first UK clinics to invest in this new generation body sculpting device. It is great news for the patient as it actually works (!), keeps costs down and involves no downtime; for us it means we can accurately target stubborn fat pockets within the comfort of our clinic.”
Ideal candidate:
Men or women with a BMI of 30 or less (not for obese patients) – must have at least 2cm fat on the target area.
How does it work?
Great for sculpting bellies, waists and love handles this high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) hits the fat at a deeper level than other more superficial body-sculpting devices. Fat cells are destroyed via a process termed ‘thermal coagulation’ with residual debris collected by the body’s macrophage (scavenger) cells, this is eventually further broken down and excreted by the liver.
Does it hurt?
Experiences can vary but generally patients may experience cold, prickling, tingling, warmth and mild to moderate discomfort.
