Having met many men and women in need of non-surgical procedures, we offer Liposonix at Skin Deep Medical Spa as one of the procedures for waist reduction. To help get rid of fat cells on problem areas that have not responded to keen exercise and healthy eating, Liposonix is a great choice. This treatment has no downtime. Liposonix is a physician-controlled procedure that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to burn fat deposits around your abdomen and flanks without any surgery. Most patients who we have treated have achieved a 1 inch (2.5 cm) waistline reduction after just an hour’s treatment.
Your surgeon will provide you with pretreatment instructions and answer any questions that you may have.
In advance of your procedure, your surgeon will ask you to:
Nonsurgical fat reduction is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after treatment and stay with you at least the first night following treatment.
During Liposonix, one of our physicians will give you some medication to help relieve your anxiety and pain. After you have received the medication, the physician will move the head of the Liposonix system around the area to be treated. The Liposonix energy from the treatment head is focused 1-2 cm below the skin surface to prevent burns or trauma to the skin. The HIFU energy disrupts fat cells. We normally carry out this treatment for about 30 to 60 minutes. In the course of treatment, you will experience some mild discomfort, cold, tingling, warmth or prickling.
After the treatment is complete, you may have some mild redness, bruising or swelling. We will use cold compresses or ointment to soothe your affected areas and recommend the same for home use if you have any of these symptoms. The medication we administer before the start of the procedure helps control any pain. You need someone to help you get home after the treatment just incase the pain medication causes any side effect.

Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks (which is the time needed for the body to naturally process the treated fat).
Liposonix is not liposuction or surgery, is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle and exercise, and is not a way to lose weight. But it is a quick, easy way to help you slim that last inch and hit your personal shape goals.
