Worth It

Spent: $500 in Athens, Greece

There is also another body contouring machine available for treatment in Ultrasounds focalised therapy, which is in Europe, France name is Ultracontour.

This French system gives fantastic results; about 2 cm per session on abdomen and legs, also arms can be treated since the transducer which delivers a focalised beam has an adaptable size for several body parts.

The treatment was performed by a specialist doctor in Athens. He starts by using advanced computer software to calculate the number of points to be treated. The doctor then treast each point of your body where fat removal is required. It typically takes about 45 minutes. Afterwards the doctor uses a UMD transducer to stimulate your lymphatics to stimulate the elimination of the fat released in the interstitial tissue.

The results are visible after 7 days.

Several of my friends now have tried both system (ultrashape and Ultracontour) all of them said that with Ultracontour you can feel the difference and the results soon after treatment

Is ultracontour the same thing as Ultrashape? If not, how is it different? Which averages a 2 inch loss per treatment?

Ultrashape in 43 countries is called Ultrashape. That takes 30 days to see the difference. And once the fat is melted, it is gone. So this would be a permanent, non surgical option. Ultracontour is different because it takes 7 days, so does this last? I do not know. I only have seen permanent results with Ultrashape. Good luck

YES IT LAST I HAD THREE ULTRACONTOUR MORE THAN 8 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE LOST 8 CM. I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS TECHNIQUE WHICH IS IN 50 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD ULTRACONTOUR IS FRENCH TECHNOLOGY, COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OF THE TECHNIQUE OF HIFU. ULTRACONTOUR is the only high tech equipment which have double system UMD = the Lymphatic drainage, so I was not bound to go to any other clinic to do extra treatment... and pay extra... Problem if you do Ultrashape (it is on their website)you need to do massage, lpg, lymphatic massage, and diet.... With Ultracontour the protocol has been thought with one machine, with a total treatment programme HIFU & UMD. In Poland, Czech Republic or Slovakia there is no more clinic proposing Ultrashape... only ULTRACONTOUR.

I don't beleive it is true. I have no seem any serious study of this technology and for me this asnwer seems to be very suspecious and it seems it had been put by someone wich has a great commercial interest in this specific technology.

If the fat is liquified by using these methods, why not combine it with suction to remove this liquified fat? Seems that combining the accuracy of Ultrashape/Ultracontour with suction would provide the best result.

I have had two sessions on the Ultracontour and it works great. The results are immediate, not 7 days as has been written, I lost a total of 6cm on the abdomen and I couldn't be happier with the results. It is still a very expensive treatment, I hope that soon the prices will go down and become more available to everyone. Also, it takes about 1 1/2 hours to two hours, Not 45 minutes as said above, and it is an amazing feeling to get up from the table, look in the mirror and actually SEE that you've just lost some fat. It's worth it definetely

I am currently the distributor for ultrashape technology and i have no problem in saying it. Ultracountour technology is a mistake and i will explain why: 1) Is not focused technology like they tell, if you open what they call transducer it is flat and not round as in Ultrashape.This means that the uktrasound waves cannot be focused 2) Is termal. So those who are saying that is pain free are not telling the truth or are distributors of the machine or never took the treatment at all. Or at last case had to take anesthesic. 3) This equipment and all its publicity are a copy of Ultrashape equipment. Just take a look at the photos and you will understand what i am saying. I has no clinical studies, no fda...nothing to prove what they are saying. If you think about taking this treatment better to ask for reliable studies before. If anybody is interested i can send studies proving all of this.It is a machine very well known by us Ultrashape

Do you know, what is FDA? She said that system is in EUROPE, not IN USA.

o'neill (1 post) 7 Feb 2009

Sorry, to desapoint but Ultracontour really works and ýou don't feel a thing, and the results really last. And for a treatment you can loose an average of 2 cm. Has CE certificates for Europe (like FDA) and lots of clinical proven studies.

O'neil, Where did you go? I would like to find some procedure that does give good, noticable results. TIA, Teri
