Liposonix Body Sculpting

Carmen Laronn, MD

The Liposonix treatment is a non-surgical, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses high intensity focused ultrasound energy(HIFU) to permanently destroy fat cells.

Liposonix treatment has 10 years of research and testing behind its development. It has a well-defined safety profile during and after the treatment with very good patient satisfaction. Treatments have been available in Europe, Japan and Canada for several years and has become available in US early 2012 and for the first time in CO at Laronn Clinique in May 2012.

The LIPOSONIX Difference:
Non-Surgical – Non-Invasive Liposonix treatment is a non-surgical, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses high intensity focused ultrasound energy(HIFU) to permanently destroy fat cells.
-No downtime and no aftercare needed
-Customizable to address specific “problem” stubborn areas
-Noticeable results after just one treatment
-Backed by over 10 years of research and testing

Invasive fat reduction procedures, such as liposuction, typically carry certain surgical risks and are associated with significant post-treatment recovery downtime. Even newer, minimally-invasive techniques are still surgical procedures. Unlike these types of surgical fat reduction procedures, the Liposonix treatment is non-invasive and patients typically resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Custom Contouring™:
Patients come in all shapes and sizes, and so does their fat. Other non-invasive body contouring devices can be limited in their ability to treat certain areas of fat and may require several hours and/or multiple treatment sessions to adequately address problem areas. The Liposonix system is highly versatile, allowing control over precisely how and where energy is delivered, for a truly customized treatment in a single one-hour session.

HIFU Technology:
With many other non-invasive fat reduction technologies, such as radio frequency and lasers, energy is highly absorbed or scattered near the skin surface, thereby limiting penetration into subcutaneous fat tissue and delivering only temporary results. Ultrasound energy, on the other hand, can be used to penetrate through the skin layers and into the targeted fat tissue without harming skin or surrounding tissues. Other ultrasound body contouring technologies often use low-intensity, low-frequency, or unfocused energy which can require multiple treatments and lead to unpredictable results. The Liposonix system uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to permanently destroy targeted subcutaneous fat and deliver uniform, predictable results after a single one-hour treatment.

What Can Liposonix Do For You?
If you’re close to your ideal shape, but need a little help getting there, Liposonix may be for you. Liposonix treatments use non-invasive, high-intensity focused ultrasound to permanently get rid of targeted fat around your waistline (abdomen and love handles) without surgery. The average waistline reduction after just a single one-hour treatment is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) – which typically means one dress or pant size. It is non-invasive, so it is a great solution for areas of suborned fat that do not respond to exercise or you do not want to have surgery.

Liposonix Results:
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.
