UltraShapeis ultrasound technology that permanently destroys subcutaneous fat cells.Cellulite is different in which it is located in connective tissue soUltraShape is not a treatment option for cellulite. However, there is a devicecalled the VelaShape III which can help soften the appearance of cellulite.There is nothing on the market currently that will permanently eliminate pre-existingcellulite but the VelaShape III is quick, painless, and once a patient iscontent with results, maintenance is one treatment every 4-8 weeks.
Thank you for your question. UltraShape® Power uses ultrasound energy to destroy fat cells beneath the skin and can be applied to the thighs. While UltraShape® can slim down your thighs and smooth away pockets of fat, the procedure is not a cellulite treatment. You may wish to consider combining UltraShape® Power treatments with VelaShape™ III, a nonsurgical treatment for reducing cellulite. Prices vary based on location and practice. Good luck!
Ultrashape can be used to treat all kinds of areas. As long as you can "pinch an inch" then it will work. We have used it for under arms, thighs, back-fat, and of course abdomen/flanks. It is a wonderful technology that is painless and super effective for targeted areas.
You can use Ultrashape for circumferential reduction to the thighs and the reduction in size itself may help with the appearance of cellulite that you dislike indirectly. Cellulite cannot be cured by Ultrashape but volume loss of adipose tissue can be achieved and this does contribute to the overall solution. Velashape III afterwards is of course the way to go if it is available at the clinic. We use Ultrashape Power/Velashape III jointly when possible to get the effect that you are looking for, but results definitely vary between patients.

Destruction of fat cells by Ultrasound cavitation is permanent. That is why it's important to maintain healthy eating and exercise habits. As with liposuction, if you gain weight, it will go to other areas of the body.
Thank you for the great question! Many patients experience visible results within just two weeks of the first treatment. Our average patient receives 3 treatments 2 weeks apart. Some receive more than 3 depending on their needs. Treatments are painless and results are seen sooner...
The upgraded device, other than being a smaller version of the original, allows for faster, more efficient treatments. The recommendation is still 3 treatments 2 weeks apart. Most notice results at the 2 week mark. I've had patients lose anywhere from 1 to 5 inches with 3...
Hi Lainey. After evaluating multiple non-surgical fat reduction treatments over the years, I can tell you that in my opinion the most effective and consistent results are with Coolsculpting which uses cold temperatures to freeze and kill fat cells. However, keep in mind that these devices are a...
