Is UltraSlim Effective in Fat reduction?

Question

I'm middle aged and not trying to lose any weight; I just want to lose some fat in certain areas. I want to know what Doctor's opinions are of the UltraSlim procedure and also women's experiences with it. I don't want to go the Cool Sculpting route. Thank you!

Tum. lipo is the only procedure that gives real results and is easy to undergo with a quick recovery time and back to work in 2 days and back to the gym in 1 week.  All these other gimmicky things are usually a waste of time and money .

I am not sure what procedure this is. I suggest you post photos to see what you are a candidate for whether this be non invasive fat reduction (coolsculpting, sculpsure, ultrashape, liposonix etc) or surgical VASER body contouring.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello MoiToo, 
UltraSlim is an extremely effective way to lose fat naturally.  It is noninvasive and has no downtime, unlike liposuction.  The treatment doesn't kill the fat cells, like coolsculpting and liposuction.  The treatment itself takes around 32 minutes (8 minutes on 4 areas), sometimes more if adding arms or face.  If doing cellulite treatment, it takes around 40 minutes.
The number of treatments you will need depends on your weight loss goals.  The technicians can determine how many treatments you need after your first treatment.  Because you want to lose fat only in certain areas, the technician covers the areas you don't want to address.
You will be measured in very specific areas before and after the treatment and those areas are marked with a pen.  
We have seen people lose 9 inches on their first treatment.  The average client does 6-12 treatments.  These can usually be done over lunch.  You do one treatment a week.
This is a far better option than coolsculpting and lipo which kill the fat cells and can cause body dysmorphia. (The fat comes back into other areas and looks lumpy).
Best regards,
Dr. Anju Mathur

I have no experience with this device. In looking into it, the technology is photobiomodulation. Fat is broken down through light. I am not familiar with this technology of fat manipulation or destruction. I recommend you meet with aa ABPS board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation. At that time, he or she could discuss the benefits of non-invasive as well as more invasive procedures like liposuction. I wish you well.

We are looking at this technology, but have no experience with it. In many ways, it looks too good to be true, usually that is a problem.
