Hello, thank you for your question.  

How much weight you lose is really going to depend on the individual.  We have had patients who have lost as much as 40 pounds and as few as 5-10.

Here are some factors:

• What is the current diet like?
• What exercise are you doing?
• Are you willing to follow the tips and advice of our practitioner?
• Are you qualified for UltraSlim? (if your liver function is poor, you may not qualify)

Hi MJZafra,

The question I have is, are you sold on "freezing the fat"?  It is minimally invasive (in both procedures, it attaches to the skin) and there is a cold vacuum suctioning your skin, which will kill the fat cells.  Some patients have reported it to be painful.

Killing the fat cells is called apoptosis.  The data on the web about it is that, it removes the fat cells.  Yes, dead cells leave the body.  But what can happen in the areas (the hard to remove fat areas, likely are the ones treated), the fat comes back and when it does, it can't come back to that area so that's where you can potentially get something called Body Dysmorphia.  The body is misshapen because of little pockets of fat, sometimes hard and lumpy, appearing in other parts of the body.  This forces patients to have to be retreated or elect to have surgery.  And by the way, after surgery this can happen too.

If you want to go as natural as you can go with fat loss, I recommend you seek out a practitioner who does UltraSlim.  It's not Ultrashape, it's UltraSlim. It's called a cold light therapy.  The light is not cold however, it's warm and comfortable.  Nothing attaches to your body and it doesn't kill the fat cells.  The fat cells leave the body naturally through the lymphatic system, and body contouring is achieved through this natural process.  The light also stimulates collagen and elastin.

Whatever you decide, good luck. 

Hello Salmajid, thank you for your question.  Generally, it should not be an issue if it doesn't fall in the treatment area.  You should always make your doctor aware of anything you have in your body which is implanted and cannot be removed.  They will make the final decision on whether the treatment is right for you.

Thank you for your question!

UltraSlim is effective on most any area of the body where you have stubborn fat:

• Stomach
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Arms
• Breast tissue (non-surgical breast reduction)
• Knees
• Back fat
• Back bra area
• Neck/double chin

Great question!  

The first thing that happens is a short free consultation with your treatment specialist.  You will learn a little about Ultraslim and how it works and discuss medical history to ensure this treatment is right for you. (If you have liver problems or cancer, that is a disqualification for the treatment).  As long as you're medically cleared, then you'll fill out a form to describe your goals.  

After that you'll meet the technician.  In the private room, you'll undress to your underwear.  She will take your before pictures.   She will measure you and mark your skin with a pen or marker (removable) where she measures you so that she can measure in the exact same spot after the treatment.

You will then lie down on a massage table where the technician will position the light over the stomach and thigh area.  During this time you can, read a book, listen to music on your phone, or watch a show or do some social media.  She will turn on the machine and after 8 minutes it automatically shuts off.  She will then have you get into the next position, etc... until you have done the four positions covering your body.  If you are doing your arms as well, we will add that to your treatment afterwards.

So after 32 minutes, most patients are done.  The technician comes back to take measurements and pictures.  You get dressed and go over the results with your technician.  In most cases people lose more than 2 inches in their first treatment.  But you will lose at least 2 inches.
