Ultrashape works like liposuction without surgery?

Hi, I found your posting really interesting. How is the center for body contouring able to use the accent laser if it's not FDA approved already? What was your experience like at the center? Do they have Aesthetician's or RN's on staff or is it just the medical director? I look forward to hearing from you, Kristy

I'm 4Real when I say "I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER FOR PEOPLE WITH MILD-MODERATE CELLULITE AND LOOSE SKIN" It's called Accent Laser Treatment.

Had my 1st treatment on Friday, March 2, 2007 in Philadelphia and OMG I saw an immediate improvement. FDA approval expected any day now. There are only 90 units in the U.S. so expect to travel if you're desperate, like I was. I'm also using Revitol's Cellulite Solution and Janson Beckett's AlphaDerma CE (2-3x daily) and swear by them both!

PROs: ---NO PAIN ---non-invasive, ---fewer tx's than traditional laser ie.-Velasmooth, Endermology... ---NO SIDE EFFECTS ---INSTANT GRATIFICATION

CONs: ---NONE to report except for the need to travel ---However, one should be at their ideal body weight to begin therapy Accent is meant for body refining; not a replacement for liposuction. It's perfect for "tweaking" problematic areas. Before and after treatments, you must drink lots of water to help flush (pee) out the disturbed / liquified fat. I wasn't uncomfortable during or after treatment and in fact, went shopping afterwards since I was so close to the King of Prussia Mall (a very nice escape).

Treatment for my 2-areas (ab's & bottom) cost $2800 - I've never been happier; even after having traditional liposuction 8 yr's ago. TRUTH IS - the lipo is what caused my dimpling and loose skin! I return to Philadelphia in 2-weeks to see Dr. Victoria Falcone, Director of the Center for Body Contouring (www.custombodyshaping.com) for my 2nd Accent treatment; I'll keep everyone posted. Hopefully, I'll have pictures to post. FYI, treatments are spaced 2wk's apart so my transformation will take 12-weeks in all. For more info,

FUTURE FYI: Next on the horizon is another non-invasive treatment called UltraShape by Contour 1 (aka: Smart Shape in the UK) It's similar to the SmartLipo (laserlipolisi) which is available throughout the U.S., this procedure doesn't involve an INCISION/ASPIRATION technique. Currently not available in the States

Hi Matthew not verified, What country is your office? I have only heard positive results from ultrashape, but no one from the USA, as it still is not fda approved. And I understand from a doctor in the Netherlands, that he has had only positive results after 1300 patients, that is why I ask. It is interesting. 1300 positive vs. your 23 no, very disappointing results. Thank you Matthew for verifying that a) you really do own ultrashape and b) you really did have no decent result Appreciate it, Im planning on getting it once it comes to the us. I appreicate your honesty. Can i buy your machine? do i have to be a doc to buy one?

hi, for more ultrashape information, id try typing in these keywords on www.google.com ultrashape ultrashape blog ultrashape review liposuction alternative lipozap vs ultrashape good luck. it looks promising . . my girlfriend got her first treatment last week, we'll see. she said it was painless, but she will have to wait a full month for results, and watch her diet. if it works for her, then my sister and i are gonna have it done too.
