Ultrashape – Get Circumferential Reduction Without Surgery

Ultrashape® is an FDA-cleared cosmetic non-invasive treatment that helps individuals who wish to lose abdominal fat and a few circumferential inches. If you maintain a good lifestyle of healthy eating and taking regular exercises, the procedure will suit you. If you have a lot of fat to lose, other fat reduction procedures like liposuction or surgery may work for you. The treatment procedure uses focused pulsated ultrasound energy to burn unwanted fat without damaging the surrounding tissues that include the skin, blood vessels, and nerves. This procedure is pain-free but should be carried out by a qualified health care professional. Skin Deep Medical Spa is under the management of Dr. Bloch, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years experience in plastic surgery.

Workout not working out?

You diet, you exercise, but still you have stubborn belly fat. And that’s no surprise.

Research indicates that stubborn fat (also known as subcutaneous fat), is resistant to diet and exercise. UltraShape can help eliminate the stubborn fat that defies your best efforts.

UltraShape works best for people who exercise and eat a healthy diet. It is not intended for major weight loss

The working of Ultrashape®

Ultrashape treatment is performed while you are lying down and takes less than an hour. The handheld device connected to the Utrashape system produces focused controlled ultrasound energy that destroys stubborn fat areas. As your physician moves the handheld treatment head on your abdomen or other treatment areas, fat deposits will be burnt by the pulsated energy. You will not feel any pain in the process, but you may experience slight tingling as treatment goes on. After the destruction of the fat cells membranes, the lipids are processed and expelled naturally by the body.

What should I expect after treatment?

Ultrashape fat treatment has no downtime. You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment. To get optimal results, your physician will recommend at least three treatments spaced two weeks apart. Results will begin to be notable after two weeks following treatment and will continue improving with every treatment session as your body expels the fat deposits. With this treatment, there is an average reduction of 2.5 inches after three treatments. Your healthcare provider will schedule your next treatment session if you want further improvement in your looks.

Limitations and risks

Fortunately, significant complications from nonsurgical fat reduction are infrequent. Your specific risks for nonsurgical fat reduction will be discussed during your consultation.

• All procedures have some degree of risk. Some of the potential complications include:
• Infection and bleeding
• Scarring
• Allergic reactions
• Damage to underlying structures
• Unsatisfactory results that may necessitate additional procedures

Other risks specific to nonsurgical fat reduction are outlined below:

• Temporary redness, bruising, tingling and tenderness.

You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions of your board-certified plastic surgeon, both before and after your nonsurgical fat reduction treatment.
