Hi Y,

Lipotron has not yet been FDA approved for use in the United States.  As with all new fat management procedure (e.g. Zerona, Lipo-Dissove) there is controversy over the effectiveness versus the quick $ some centers make by incorporating new technologies.

You can read some of the online chat about Lipotron at   http://www.medicalspamd.com/physician-to-physician/post/317088

Remember, "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is."  I would wait until there is proof that the technology is effective and that patients are satisfied.

Be well.
