98% of your result will come from your surgeon. The other 2% will come from which device he uses. The sculpting aspects, decision making intraoperatively, preoperative planning, safety concerns and many years of experience will be more important than which machine he uses.

Liposonix vs. Ultrashape
My friend (yeah, right :) is considering ultrasound contouring, and I am helping with his research. Ultrashape has apparently been used here in Canada for some time, and Liposonix is expected to obtain approval soon. The representatives of Liposonix of course claim its superiority over Ultrashape in terms of results, but I am wondering whether there are independenet clinical trials of each, and whether either is superior.
He has been told that he is an ideal candidate for Ultrashape, needing only fairly small areas of superficial fat emulsified. The bottom line of this question is whether he should go ahead with the Ultrashape, or wait until Liposonix is available? (or do neither, if clinical trials have shown little benefit).

A: Liposonix and Ultrashape
Both technologies use external ultrasound devices to improve body contour the research is not all in on the two technologies. They are not yet being used in the US.

No, please do not buy ultrashape or liposonix. They do not work as good as they claim. Proslimelt, made by Promoitalia is way better. It has sweeping frequencies. And you can adjust parameters to treat different type of fat and depth of fat also.

Ultrashape does work. I am also sure Liposonix will deliver results. I have Ultrashape and have found that, for patients who want non surgical results, whose body mass index is not unreasonable with stubborn areas of fat, it works very well. If you are obese and want to use Ultrashape as a way of losing inches, then it will not be for you.
