Hello,There is no need to wear compression after Ultrashape. This is a non-surgical body contouring procedure.
You will not need a compression garment for after the Ultrashape treatment. Ultrashape is a non surgical fat treatment, meaning it's a treatment that relies on the body to do the process.
Good question. In our practice we dont feel that it is necessary to wear compression garments after ultrashape. It should not affect the treatment based on the mechanism of action.
Because UltraShape is a nonsurgical fat-removal process that relies on the body's own processes – not surgery and suction – to permanently remove fat, you will not need a compression garment after treatment. UltraShape uses ultrasound energy to destroy fat cells in a treated area, without damaging surrounding skin and tissue. Once the fat cells have been destroyed, the body's lymph system will eliminate the cell's components gradually over the next several months. Therefore, it does take a few months to see your final results. Because there is no real trauma to the body, you should have a quick recovery with minimal downtime. You may require more than one session to get the body shape you desire. Please talk to a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in body sculpting to find out how UltraShape can help you.
Unlike liposuction, compressions garments are really not necessary after Ultrashape treatments. Other body contouring treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, can cause inflammation and swelling. However, Ultrashape uses non-thermal energy (i.e. not hot or cold), which causes very little downtime, if at all.
Wearing compression garments will help stimulate lymphatics but is not necessary or even recommended for Ultrashape.
There is no evidence that drinking alcohol and processing the destroyed fat cells following an UltraShape treatment will impact your outcome. I believe hydrating before and after your treatment is more important.Enjoy the weekend!
UltraShape can be used to destroy unwanted fat in many areas of the body as long as there is approximately 2cm of fat thickness. We have treated arms, thighs, love handles, abdomen and male chests.
The typical protocol for UltaShape is three sessions performed every other week. We have had many patients whom that were so happy with the three treatments that they underwent additional treatments to further reduce fat.
