Ultrasonic Massager Does the Same Thing As Liposonix and UltraShape?

Liposonix is the only FDA approved fat melting device and now 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...

Massagers will not do the same thing as HIFU (Liposonix, Ultrashape)
Your research has misled you. Liposonix and Ultrashape use a technology called High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), which focuses the ultrasound energy into the fat tissue resulting in controlled destruction of the fat cells. This tissue is then metabolized by the body resulting in collapse of the area - like liposuction, only noninvasively. Ultrasonic massage is just that - massage - and does not have the potential for tissue reduction the way that HIFU does.
