Ultrasound Non-surgical Liposuction

Non-surgical liposuction is an alternative to surgical liposuction, in which fat is reduced using various technologies which attempt to melt and liquify a person's fat cells using non-invasive methods such as ultrasonic agents.

One experimental treatment, known as noninvasive body contouring, involves focused ultrasound waves that target that "impossible to diet away" fat found on the hips, thighs, and stomach. There is no incision, each session lasts about an hour, and patients can go right back to work after a treatment.

There may be some moderate tingling, but patients don't find this to be painful.
The treatment is one of several promising new nonsurgical approaches for removing excess body fat .

The procedure is not for people who want to get rid of a lot of excess body fat. Instead, it is for those who have isolated areas of extra fat that are not helped by diet and exercise.
It is not like liposuction, which can remove a great deal of fat. But it is perfect for patients who have no desire for surgery, but are looking for modest reductions in these problem areas.

Most patients need three or four one-hour treatments. During each session, ultrasound probes massage the skin, causing the fat cells beneath to rupture and die. The body then simply rids itself of the dead cells.
