If these machines worked, plastic surgeons would be out of business

No downtime? No pain? No bruising? No Scars? Not a lot of Money? Sure... just don't expect any positive results. There are millions of machines, diets, and supplements that claim to do it all easily, naturally, without the hassle of a cosmetic surgery. And the day they actually work is the day Plastic Surgeons go out of business. But until you see Plastics Surgeons still performing liposuction, you can rest assured all these machines, pills,... more

Home ultrasonic liposuction is safe and completely ineffective.

Don't waste your money. Ultrasound has to be delivered through the skin and to the fat to be effective. At the level of the fat, the ultrasonic energy is converted to heat to "cook" the fat. The problem with home liposuction is that there is no way to bypass the skin as it converts ultrasonic energy to heat.

At home liposuction machine??

Absolutely safe and completely ineffective! that is WHY it is available for at home use. beofre you spend your money and time on this, I would highly recommend to explore all other options and seek consultation from a plastic/cosmetic surgeon who does liposuction and they will tell you whats the best option for you

DIY ultrasound body contouring? You have to be kidding

In order for a device to be sold for home use rather than under the supervision of a physician, it has to be made very low-powered in order to be safe. At those levels it is highly unlikely that there would be any real benefit. Go for Liposonix in a physician's office - it's FDA approved for permanent fat reduction.

Home Lipo Ultra Sonic Cavitation

The only advantage of those machines goes to the seller. The user has little if any benefit. Save your money.

I've just had 6 sessions on the back of my thighs - the 'saddle bag' area. I had it done twice a week for 3 weeks in the one area and measured daily. I so desperately wanted it to work but the honest truth it IT DOESN'T WORK! Not even a cm. I've used one item of cothing and measuring tape as my guide, and neither show any difference from 3 weeks ago. My thighs look the same and feel the same, down to the last dimple. I'd love to say it works but the facts are the facts yet the adverts and experts will tell you otherwise. The lady that carried out the treaments on me measured once before and then again after and said i'd lost 3inches on one leg, until i pointed out that the measuring tape was not in the same place as the first measurement as she measured a lot lower... more towards my knee cap than the top of my thigh. We agreed to disagree.
