Ultrashape Power was released this past fall of 2016.as an upgrade in technology 10% more effective at fact destruction, faster to operate and shorter treatment times for patients. All in all more comfortable for patients because of the smaller ultrasound hadpiece.  The machine is smaller & easier to operate with its computer software up grades. it also has the capability of increased fat rediction but those incremental changes wont be made until the FDA gives that approval. At this point it is the industry leader in fat destruction, 32%. 

What you are experiencing is very common. Just remember, the first phase (1-6 weeks)  is the worse for symptoms of reddness, flaking, irritation & dryness, which can be treated with Hydrate, Hydrate Lux and or 10% Vit-C serum. Your trained Obagi skin care specialist may also alter your protocol of how often to use your system in order for symptoms to subside. Just keep with it, because you skin will adapt to the Nuderm System in about 4-5 months. And you'll be so happy beause your skin will look & act tighter & brighter more youthful!  

If you can pinch an inch, & your BMI should be below 30.   you will also have to maintain or lose weight & we recommend 64 oz of water daily & no alcohol 24 hrs before treatment & 72 hours after treatment as well as "clean eating" because the fat that is blasted gets processed thru the lymphatic system and your liver. If you follow this protocol, outcomes will be the best. Most common areas for treatment is the belly & lovehandles. 

The results of the UltraShape Power destroys the fat cells forever and they expel through your liver and lymphatic system.

UltraShape Power is a mechanical ultrasound that actually implodes the fat cells and then filters out through your lymphatic and liver system. It is a permanent treatment and is not done by freezing the fat cells.
