How Many Pulses Are Required During Ultrashape Treatment?

Question

I am having my abdomen and saddlebags done and I have heard that I should be wrapped all the way around and there should be at least 1000 pulses in  the ultrashape treatment - is this true?

Michael Horn, MD · Answer

An average abdomen is 8-10 Focal Zones and each focal zone consists of 144 pulses. Each individual will have a different amount of pulses per the area they are getting treated.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Each area is measured to determine the amount of Focal Treatment Zones (FTZs).
 Different depths can be treated at the same time. This determines the amount of pulses. 
When you
obtain a consultation, these details should be determined for your optimal
outcome.#ultrashaperesults #saddlebags #abdomenfat

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

The UltraShape® is clinically proven to improve the abdomen, “saddle bags" and “love handles”. Each area is measured with a template to determine the amount of Focal Treatment Zones (FTZs).   Various depths can be treated within a single treatment  which determine the amount of  suggested pulses.  Treatments
are completed in merely 4 weeks with 3 treatments scheduled 2 weeks apart ! When you obtain a consultation, these details should be determined for your optimal outcome.#bodycontouring  #fatreduction #bodysculptingtreatments

Leslie Baumann, MD · Answer

UltraShape uses
focal treatment “zones”. (They are referred to as FTZs) to determine the number
of pulses. Each focal treatment zones equals up to 100 pulses. The machine
automatically calculates the pulses needed. 
You will see the pulses displayed on the screen as dots.  The technician will target the dots.  The only way the technician can give you
fewer pulses than you should get is if they do not treat all of the dots
located on the screen. The technician has no incentive to cheat you on the
number of pulses because the doctor’s office is charged by the FTZs and not by
the number of pulses.  However, if you do
not trust your doctor or provider, I suggest you find another medical practice
that you feel more comfortable in.

Craig Mezrow, MS, MD, FACS · Answer

The number of UltraShape pulses is determined by the size of the area to be treated.  In addition, certain treatments may involve treating areas with more than one pass which would increase the total number of pulses.
