Can Liposonix Be Used on the Thighs?
The Liposonix website demonstrates its use on the abdomen. But is there anyone (in Europe) using it "off-label" on the thighs and hips, flanks, etc?

Can Liposonix Be Used on the Thighs:

Liposonix FDA approved for abdomen and flanks but can be used off-label on other body parts
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 is FDA approved on the abdomen and flanks but has been used off-label on many other parts of the body. 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...
