It is important to
remember that UltraShape is the most advanced form of fat removal on the market
today. For decades we have been removing
fat with various devices that remove fat using heat or cold. Those devices could cause burning, pain,
blisters, numbness and other complications that are not seen with the newer
UltraShape technology. This is because UltraShape uses mechanical means to break the fat instead of using cold or
heat. In other words, it shakes the fat
at a very high frequency, which bursts the fat cells. They release the fatty acids into the body
and these are recycled into components of the body such as cell membranes and
the protective skin barrier which prevents water loss from the skin. We have not seen any complications in our
office except one patient who developed irritation from the tape used to hold
the fat in place during the procedure. I admit it does sound too good to be true
because there is no downtime and it works.
However, for those of us who have been using these technologies for the
last 5 years see it differently- I am
saying, “Finally, something that really works!”
