Let’s be honest most people have specific areas of their body from which they would like to shift the fat. Sadly, dieting doesn’t target precise areas, and although exercise will help you tone and slim down, much like dieting, it can be difficult to precisely target where you burn fat.

Let us introduce you to Liposonix®.

How Does Liposonix® Work?

As we mentioned, Liposonix® uses a high-intensity and focused ultrasound technology (HIFU), this allows us to really hone in on the area that is causing concern. The ultrasound energy targets subcutaneous fat and destroys it, permanently removing it from the body, without affecting or harming the surrounding tissues or skin.

How Long Does a Treatment Take? What Will It Feel Like & Is It Painful?

A treatment of Liposonix® can take from 20 minutes plus, it really depends on the size of the area that is being treated. During the procedure, patients may experience tingling or scratching and may also feel cool or warm sensations. Afterwards, there may be some temporary pinkness, slight swelling and bruising of the treated area all of which will subside after a few days, even hours after the procedure. As for pain, we all have different thresholds – the procedure can cause mild to moderate discomfort, and we always recommend that our patients wear loose comfortable clothing after their session.

How Quickly Will I See The Benefits?

Results can be seen as early as 4 weeks and up to twelve weeks after the initial procedure. Liposonix® is the perfect one-off treatment but, it can be done again if you want to further enhance the results.
