How many pulses are required during Ultrashape treatment?

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?

Each time I have gone for a treatment the number of pulses gets lower. I have my "love handles" done l225 pulses per side - I feel I am getting really ripped off.

It really depends on the size of the area treated. Let's assume that you are an average body mass index and that you just have persistent abdominal fat and saddle bags even though you are exercising regularly. Then I would suspect the number of pulses needed will vary from 800 to 1200 pulses. You should be mapped out all round the body, not just the front of the body. I map the exact area out with patient and then work out the exact number of pulses and then price accordingly.
