FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
What is UltraShape?
UltraShape is the first and only FDA-cleared,
non-invasive, body-shaping procedure that uses focused, pulsed ultrasound for
selective fat destruction. The UltraShape procedure targets and instantly
destroys stubborn fat, without discomfort or downtime.
Is UltraShape right for me?
UltraShape is ideal for people with stubborn fat or
genetically acquired problem areas. For best results, maintaining a healthy
lifestyle with diet and exercise is recommended. UltraShape is not recommended
for major weight loss.†
How does UltraShape work?
UltraShape delivers ultrasound energy directly into the
stubborn fat below your skin's surface. Rapidly changing pressure waves create
vapor cavities in the fat cells. This stresses the fat cell membranes, causing
them to rupture—all while leaving the surrounding skin, nerves, and blood
vessels unharmed. See how
it works.
Is UltraShape safe?
UltraShape is FDA cleared for selective, non-invasive
fat destruction in the abdominal region. It has been shown to be safe in
extensive clinical trials. Thousands of treatments using UltraShape technology
have been performed worldwide.
Are UltraShape treatments painful?
Most people report a comfortable experience and side
effects are extremely rare. There is no soreness or numbness after
treatment.
Are there any visible signs of treatment?
The UltraShape procedure leaves no visible signs of
treatment.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Some people reported seeing results as early as 2 weeks
after their first treatment, but you should expect to see the best results after
a series of 3 treatments, 2 weeks apart.†
Can I return to normal activities after
treatment?
There is no downtime—not even social downtime—after an
UltraShape treatment. You can resume your normal daily activities right
away.
How many treatments will I need?
Three treatments spaced 2 weeks apart are recommended.
This timing gives your body time to clear the fat cells from your system,
maximizing your results.
Are results long-lasting?
The fat cells that are treated are destroyed. However,
while the treated cells cannot regrow, other neighboring fat cells can increase
in size, so—for best results—it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle
with diet and exercise.
Where does the fat go?
The body breaks down (or processes) the destroyed fat
cells, just like it breaks down other fats. After being processed by the liver,
the waste is eliminated naturally.
What makes UltraShape different from other
treatments?
Unlike other fat-reduction procedures, UltraShape does
not use heat or freeze fat. UltraShape treatments are very comfortable and show
no visible signs of treatment. Plus, with UltraShape , you get measurable,
visible results as early as 2 weeks.†
How much does UltraShape cost?
Costs can vary between doctors and different areas of
the country. While 3 treatments are recommended, your doctor will determine the
number of treatments you will need.
