Is Liposonix painful? How different is it from Liposuction?

Liposonix
is a non-invasive fat reduction procedure. High intensity ultrasound energy is focused on the targeted area and fat tissue below
the skin is permanently destroyed. The treatment
can cause discomfort. Liposonix cannot
achieve the same results as a surgical liposuction procedure. CoolSculpting and Venus Legacy offer other,
non-invasive and perhaps less painful alternatives for body contouring.

Liposonix is uncomfortable. I typically give patients medication before the procedure. It is totally different from liposuction. There is no incision and no down time. Results are good but not equivalent to liposcution. Results are similar to other non-invasives like Coolsculpting and Ultrashape. Ultrashape does not hurt but requires 3 sessions.

Liposonix as well as Liposculpture can cause discomfort in patients, which is why your doctor should try to make you as comfortable as possible. Sedation is sometimes used for both options in order to minimize any discomfort.
