I want to ask is ultra shape a procedure which is totally different from coolsculpting? Can I ask how better results can I get from ultra shape, and is ultra shape more discomfort than coolsculpting? Which do you recommend to remove stomach fat ?
Answer: Coolsculpting vs Ultrashape for non invasive fat reduction I have been performing CoolSculpting for at several years and my patients and I in my NYC practice rate this treatment very highly. The safety record is excellent. The fat cells that are effectively treated are permanently killed as opposed to some devices that only empty the triglycerides from the fat cells leaving the cells living to work and accumulate more fat in the future. The discomfort with the freezing that is employed along with suction in CoolSculpting is uncomfortable for just the first few minutes but the rest of the one hour session per area, is a "non issue" for most patients. Usually they're on their cell phones or listening to music or reading during the treatment. Some patients are told in consultation that they would probably need more than one treatment, and I examine them in consultation to determine how many applicators are needed so they know in advance what the cost would be and how many hours to anticipate to be in my practice. Ultrashape has been in the developing phase for U.S. FDA clearance for many years but has been used in South America and other countries with good results for several years, but is a series of three treatments two weeks apart. There is virtually no pain during the treatment. It can take an hour or more depending on the surface area treated. Ultrashape uses ultrasound compared to the freezing and suction used during CoolSculpting. I have been performing Ultrashape for several months but I don't have one year followup experience, nor do most physicians in the U.S. as it only became FDA cleared recently.

Answer: Ultrashape Versus Coolsculpting They are very different, I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who does alot of body contouring and can decide between the procedures for you versus liposuction. My entire practice is body shaping/liposuction and lasers. The ultrasound in ultrashape is for contouring small areas, tough to treat areas and results are seen very quickly as with coolsculpting you get inflammation and results come 3-6 months later. There is more too it but a consultation is needed. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: UltraShape is Non-Thermal UltraShape is the only fat destroying technology that is uses non-thermal, pulsed, focused ultrasound to selectively destroy fat. Since UltraShape is non-thermal, it is the most comfortable option as compared to freezing or heating the fat.

Answer: Ultrashape VS Coolsculpting Ultrashape VS CoolsculptingBoth Ultrashape and Coolsculpting are effective for the lower abdominal region.They both require two inches of pinchable fat to work. Liposculpture can treat thinner patients.Ultrashape typically requires three treatment sessions as apposed to two with Coolsculpting.Assuming stable weight Coolscupting will reduce up to 15% of the pinchable fat, Ultrashape 22% and Liposculpture 50%.Liposculpture and Ultrashape can treat thighs, waist, back and neck as well, Coolsculpting can not.Coolsculpting does not really sculpt as it only reduces the peak of the belly bulge whereas Ultrashape can be tailored similar to Liposuction to sculpt the abdominal, waist, thigh and hip contours.Coolsculpting is moderately painfull during the procedure lasting 45 minutes, Ultrashape is associated with mild to moderate tingling and massage; liposuction will sting, tickle, massage and occaisional jab during treatment.Results are visible after one week with liposuction, two weeks with Ultrashape and 6-8 weeks with CoolsculptingPost op recuperation is one day with liposculpture, one month of moderate swelling, minimal to mild pain/soreness. Coolsculpting requires one day of recuperation with one month of swelling, bruising and painful sensitivity for weeks. Ultrashape treatment has minimal swellling, pain or bruising.Ultrashape may require Velashape or other RF treatments to maintain skin tightness. Liposculpture and Coolsculpting do not.Pricing is similar for Liposculpture and Ultrashape; approximately 15% less for Coolsculpting.Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
