UltraShape is the latest solution to fat removal without surgery or anesthesia (no pain).
The UltraShape solution is based on a technological breakthrough using ultrasound waves, which are designed to selectively break down fat cells without affecting neighbouring tissues. UltraShape sends ultrasound beams into the problematic fatty area to destroy the fat cells. The entire procedure is guided by innovative tracking technology that ensures smooth, uniform contouring. Immediately following treatment, the body’s natural processes clear away the disrupted fat cells. Another unique feature of UltraShape technology is its highly sophisticated optical tracking and guidance system engineered to ensure safe, effective and uniform treatment.
Because the UltraShape treatment requires no anesthesia, it is free of the complications associated with surgery and no pain or discomfort is reported by patients during or after treatment.
Who is it for?
The UltraShape treatment has been designed to help average to
overweight men and women acquire an improved body contour. It offers an
alternative to patients seeking effective reduction of localized fat
deposits without surgery.
When you have tried exercise and appropriate diet and still find yourself with frustrating areas of excess fat, then UltraShape non-surgical fat removal may be for you.

What body areas are treated?
With the endlessly different shape and size of human bodies, it is obvious that we all have our own individual predisposition to how body fat is stored. Bulges will develop no matter how much we work out or watch the way we eat. For women and men who want effective body contouring without surgery, UltraShape treatment is the answer. The UltraShape treatment focuses on the abdomen (upper and lower), thighs (“saddle bags”) as well as flanks (“love handles"). These areas can be treated with one or more therapy sessions.

What results can I expect?
Clinical studies have shown that after treatment you can begin to enjoy your new body contour in as little as a month. After a single procedure most patients notice an average reduction of two centimeters in your body circumference. These results are significantly enhanced when three treatments, one month apart, are performed.

What will I experience during treatment?
The treatment is performed in our office. It will begin with the examination and marking of the area to be treated. The size of the treatment area determines the duration of the session and can last between one to one and a half hours. During treatment, a handheld device delivering ultrasound energy gently glides over the marked area. The treatment does not require anesthesia. The majority of treated patients consistently report a painless and comfortable experience. The entire treatment is guided by an advanced tracking technology to ensure smooth and even contouring results.

What happens after treatment?
As soon as the session is over, you can immediately resume your daily routine. There is no recuperation period or downtime. Our patients state that there is no post-treatment pain or discomfort. The skin surface remains smooth and the fat texture remains homogenous. It takes some time (approximately one month) for the results to be evident.

How does the UltraShape treatment work?
The UltraShape treatment uses scientifically proven non-invasive ultrasound technology to break down unwanted fat. Focused ultrasound energy selectively targets fat cells in the chosen body area without harming surrounding tissues such as nerves or blood vessels. This is accomplished with minimal to no discomfort and no downtime.
What happens to the fat?
During the UltraShape treatment, the membranes of the fat cells are disrupted. The fat cell content, primarily comprised of triglycerides, is dispersed into the fluid between the cells and then transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver. The liver makes no distinction between fat coming from the UltraShape treatment and fat originating from consumed food. Both are processed by the body’s natural mechanisms.
