Liposonix: Q&A
Ask a Question
Should I Wait for Liposonix to Get Rid of Cellulite?
saw a New York Times story ("Cottage-Cheese Smoothie?") from 2006 that said cellulite laser treatment was all that works for getting rid of cellulite. They mention a radio-frequency laser named LipoSonix. Is this worth waiting for this? How long before I can get LipoSonix?

Cellulaze Best for Cellulite Reduction
Thank you for your question. I would suggest Cellulaze to reduce your cellulite. Cellulaze is the only minimally invasive laser procedure designed to attack the structure of cellulite beneath your skin. Cellulaze is backed by many years of clinical research. Studies have shown it increases the thickness of your skin by 25% and the elasticity of your skin by 29%—significant claims that haven't been made by any other treatments. Thicker and more elastic skin can help flatten and smooth the...

Liposonix uses ultrasound to reduce fat non-surgically
It can be used to decrease the waistline, abdomen, thighs or buttocks. The ultrasound creates heat which eliminates some of the fat. However, cellulite is due to fibrous bands that attach to the skin. The liposonix treatment will not affect that. Some radiofrequency devices such as Thermage, have been shown to tighten those collagen bands and decrease the appearance of cellulite. That is also a non-surgical procedure. Best, Dr. Jacob

Cellulite reduction and non-surgical liposuction with Liposonix
Liposonix is used in my Los Angeles plastic surgery practice to target subcutaneous fat in the mid torso, including the abdomen, flanks, love handles, and waistline. It is thought that subcutaneous fat reduction may help reduce cellulite visibility, but there are ancillary options including the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment for cellulite reduction.

Liposonix may be a cellulite smoother!
I love the "cellulite smoothie"! Liposonix is actually a high intensity focused ultrasound (different from radiofrequency instruments like Thermage). Thermage has been used for cellulite for some time and gives a nice moderate result. Liposonix (approved in the US in September 2011 and available in our office in Scottsdale/Paradise Valley AZ) and in select other area of the US now) is designed to reduce fat. My physician friends in Canada have been using...

Liposonix is now FDA approved and available in the U.S.
As of Dec. 2011, I'm one of the first U.S. centers to offer the Liposonix, the first FDA approved fat melting device. It uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to cause lysis or destruction of the fat cells. There is no other device that can make this claim in the U.S. It is nonsurgical liposuction, a revolutionary technologic breakthrough. It is not a replacement for liposuction because you cannot remove the high volumes of fat possible thru liposuction but you...

No proven techniques for improving cellulite
There are very few effective options for cellulite and when they work, the results tend to be temporary. Some people believe that Endermologie is the best option but I am not convinced.

Might wait for cryolipolysis
I echo many of my colleagues skepticism regarding present methods for getting rid of cellulite. Some might work slightly, not nearly as well as the marketing hype would indicate, but are hardly worth the money.
As you probably know Liposonix has not been cleared by the FDA. This machine uses ultrasound technology and maybe it will be better than its superiors in treating cellulite. The company was acquired by Medicis and if/when approved expect it to be marketed with Reloxin and...
