What is Liposonix machine?

Liposonix machine is non-invasive and non-surgical body slimming system. The procedure uses a specially designed machine that eliminates much of the suction associated with traditional liposuction and instead uses high-intensity ultrasound energy to bombard and destroy fat over the cellular level. As a result of use of laser energy that houses fiber optics rather than being connected to a vacuum, Liposonix machine provides patients with a less invasive option instead of traditional liposuction which can provide astonishing results with only a single treatment.

 For patients who have adopted a healthy diet habits and consistent exercise, but still Utilizing focused ultrasound energy to destroy fat in hard to address areas, like the abdomen and love handles, Liposonix allows the body to natural eliminate fat tissue through it’s own waste processing system and can provide a reducing one full belt size or more that falls off naturally within the span of a few months. More than 90% of patients report a flatter abdomen after the single treatment.

So how exactly does LIPOSONIX machine WORK?

 LipoSonix uses special technology called High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to cause the death of fat cells easily and successfully. Focusing the ultrasound energy of LipoSonix at 1-2 cm below the surface of the skin avoids any burns or trauma to the skin and makes the procedure more comfortable. The fat cells are disrupted by the HIFU, resulting in an average 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) reduction in waist size for a one hour treatment.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FAT AFTER LIPOSONIX?

The disrupted fat cells attract the body’s inflammatory and healing responses. Special cells called macrophages engulf the fat and cellular debris. The macrophages then transport the fat through the lymphatic and venous system, eventually to the liver. This process takes 2-4 weeks, so there are no changes in fat, triglyceride, or any other body chemistries. The liver treats the fat from the macrophages just like fat you have eaten. The liver takes the fat and metabolizes it normally. Studies have not shown an increase in other body measurements after the use of LipoSonix. This means there is no measurable redistribution of the fat. We know it can’t go back to the treatment area because those cells no longer exist.

WHAT ARE SIDE EFFECTS?

LipoSonix side effects are mostly minimal. Patients using the second generation LipoSonix machine have experienced only mild or no discomfort. Since every person has a different pain tolerance, medications are available for anxiety or pain control. We recommend most patients take the medications about 30 minutes before starting this treatment.

WHAT KIND OF RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM LIPOSONIX?

LipoSonix permanently disrupts the fat cells in the treatment area. One treatment is recommended in the area. A treatment takes about an hour. The current studies showed an average decrease in waist size of 4.6 cm or 1.8 inches after 3 months. This is mainly the one pant size. These results are from the first generation LipoSonix machine.

 Innovations Medical has the second generation LipoSonix machine. Clinical studies for the second generation LipoSonix machine are currently underway. The early reports are showing the same or better overall reduction using the second generation LipoSonix machine. Even though some results from LipoSonix are often witnessed in 1-2 weeks, it often takes 3-6 month for the final result to be realized.
